We’ve been figuring this out for a while.
North Point started in 2003 with a simple idea: create a church where people from every kind of background could come as they are, explore faith, and find and follow Jesus.
North Point began on the north side of Springfield, Missouri. What started in a leased space on North Kansas Expressway soon became a growing community, and in 2005, North Point moved into its permanent home on Norton Road.
Over the years, North Point began reaching beyond one location and into communities throughout southwest Missouri. New campuses were launched, the Nixa campus eventually found a permanent home of its own, and the Republic campus opened in 2021.
In 2017, that same desire to move beyond Sunday mornings helped launch the Springfield Dream Center. The Dream Center created another way for North Point to live with our arrows out, meeting practical needs, building relationships, and bringing hope to families in our community. In 2020, it also became home to a North Point campus.
Through different seasons, locations, leaders, and plenty of change, something at the heart of North Point has stayed the same: we want to be a church where real people can encounter Jesus without pretending to be something they’re not.
In 2025, Drew Williams became North Point’s lead pastor and began leading the church into its next chapter.
Today, North Point is one church in multiple locations, but our story is still being written by the people who walk through our doors every week.
Real Life. Safe Place. Sent People.
That’s where we’ve been. And it’s who we’re still becoming.
