Welcome to Grace Point Church!
Founded in 2001, Grace Point Church has grown to over 700 members and averages around 950 in weekly attendance with two Sunday morning gatherings. We stand at a pivotal moment with a clear vision: to be a church that makes disciples who impact their communities and the world for Christ. With God's guidance and the collective efforts of our dedicated church family, we believe we will see this vision come to fruition. Let us move forward together, inspired and united in our mission to transform lives through the power of the Gospel.
At Grace Point Church, we believe we are on the edge of an exciting new chapter. We are a vibrant community filled with young couples, families, and individuals who are passionate about knowing and following Jesus. Together, we have an unyielding pursuit to be a church of disciples who are making disciples from Northwest Arkansas (NWA) to the Nations.

Our Vision and mission
Over the past two years, we have worked intentionally to clarify our philosophy of discipleship and design a clear pathway for spiritual formation. This new focus ensures that every member is equipped to live out their faith with confidence as they grow as disciples who make disciples. Our ministry spans all age groups, with intentional discipleship for kids, students, young adults, men, women, and adults. We aim to create an environment that leads to disciples who are abiding in God’s Word, loving one another, and bearing fruit.
Community and culture
Grace Point is a casual church where we love hanging out together and fostering a strong sense of community. We believe in the importance of creating a warm, welcoming atmosphere where everyone feels at home.
Sunday Gatherings
Our Sunday gatherings emphasize deep biblical and theological understanding. We prioritize expository preaching—delving deeply into Scripture, unpacking its truths, and applying them to our lives. While extending hospitality to not-yet-disciples and guests, our primary focus is the spiritual formation of our members.
A Legacy of Missions
Grace Point Church has a rich legacy of love for missions, both globally and locally. Our commitment to serving our neighbors and community is at the heart of our identity. We strive to live out the Great Commission by impacting lives here in Northwest Arkansas and in places like Mali, Spain, Japan, Greece, and Guatemala.
Intentional Leadership
Grace Point Church is led by a great team of elders and staff. At Grace Point, the Elders are ultimately responsible to shepherd the flock that is amongst them (1 Pet 5:2) under the guidance of Jesus Christ, leading them through the work of the Holy Spirit and the Scriptures. Our Elder team is made up of three staff elders along with six-eight lay elders. The Lead Teaching Pastor and Executive Pastor are default Elder members while one additional staff elder is flexible with selection and rotation.
We have five primary ministry areas led by Department Leads. Those five areas are: Community and Member Engagement, Family Discipleship, Adult Discipleship, Worship, and Operations. Each ministry area has varying numbers of team members of additional pastors and support staff.
Our Trustee Board consists of 6 lay members who govern the financial stewardship of Grace Point Church. Operating from a position of ministry-minded faithfulness, these men and women seek to steward the resources given to the church in the most effective and impactful way possible. Our Trustees set and approve budgets, manage cash flow, maintain reserves, and shape policy for financial accountability. The Trustees report to the Elders.
