Sundays at 9:00 a.m., 11:00 a.m., and 4:30 p.m.

Andy Stanley is the founder and senior pastor of North Point Ministries, which has seven churches in the Atlanta area: Browns Bridge Church, Buckhead Church, Decatur City Church, East Cobb Church, Gwinnett Church, North Point Community Church, and Woodstock City Church. Andy is also the lead pastor and leads the staff of NPCC in its day-to-day operations and in discerning the ministry needs of those who attend NPCC and those who live in the community.

Instead of providing adult Sunday school classes on Sunday mornings in the church building, we provide small group environments, called Community Groups, that meet at a variety of times during the week in people’s homes. We believe the small group is the best place for sustained life change to occur. In a small group, people study God’s Word together and are in a small enough environment to discuss the issues and challenges of life. It’s also where they pray and care for one another and where they are missed if they don’t show up.

Community Groups are made up of five to six couples or five to eight individuals of the same gender. Groups are where people are personally encouraged and challenged in their relationship with God and each other.

Please check out our North Point Partner website for a map of churches all over the country that have an official relationship with North Point Ministries. These churches are built upon the same vision, mission, and strategy as our Atlanta-area churches. If you don't live near a partner church and still want the same great North Point experience, you can also consider joining us online.

Here at North Point Community Church, we want you to know that the moment you walk through the doors, you belong here and can consider this place your church home, no title needed. Since we don’t have traditional membership, you won’t be able to “join” the church as a “member” – but we hope you become fully engaged in the life of the church. You can engage with us through serving strategically, connecting in a group, inviting others, and giving systematically. Those who are fully engaged with us are considered our members.

If you're applying for a leadership position (including a leader, coach, mentor, or captain role), please contact us or take a look at the additional questions below.

We’re glad you’re interested in engaging in the life of our church. We don’t have traditional membership in the sense that you “join the church,” but we’d love to help you get connected. Our hope is for North Point Community Church to be a place where you can walk through the doors, call it your church home, and begin to get connected, no title needed. Those who are fully engaged with us are considered our members. We describe full engagement as:

1. Connecting in a Group
2. Serving Strategically
3. Inviting Others
4. Giving Systematically

We want to be a church where unchurched people love to attend. In order to be that kind of church, we need the help of those who share our passion for inspiring people to follow Jesus.

If you share that passion, or even if you simply love this place, you can fully engage in the life of the church by doing four things:

• Connecting in a Group
• Serving Strategically
• Inviting Others
• Giving Systematically

Traditionally, membership has been known to represent joining a church, calling it your church home, and/or taking the first step toward involvement and volunteering. Yet the word “membership” has also carried a lot of baggage and has become an unnecessary barrier to involvement for some of our attendees.

Since North Point Ministries began, we’ve viewed membership differently – as more of a partnership and leadership position – and thus have had prerequisites to becoming a member.

Over the years, this has caused some misunderstandings and feelings of exclusivity, which conflicts with our desire to be a church where anyone can get involved and grow.

We’re glad you’re here! Please let us know how we can help you take some next steps.

At a leadership level, it’s important that we’re all aligned regarding beliefs and accountability. Because we don’t have traditional membership, we ask that anyone interested in entering into leadership meet specific prerequisites that help us know we’re on the same page. Each leadership application will include questions around the person’s spiritual background, leadership background, and, for many ministries, a certified background check.

If you’re interested in leadership, please begin by looking through our website to learn about the different ministry areas in which you can lead/mentor. Once you’re ready, start the application here. Each ministry will have specific requirements for its leadership positions. These requirements will be listed on a landing page prior to beginning the application. Additionally, all ministry applications will state that each potential leader must:

1. Have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and a clear understanding of salvation.
2. Have been baptized after accepting Jesus as their Savior (believer’s baptism).
3. Have a willingness to be held accountable to their church leadership regarding matters concerning your relationship with God and others.

Once you submit your application, you’ll hear from a ministry team representative about next steps.

We are able to provide a confirmation letter based on your involvement. Please contact us for more details.

Anyone who became a member before September 1, 2015, will remain in our database as such. Moving forward, if you are fully engaged with us, please consider yourself a member.

Anyone with an existing membership status and everyone who has engaged fully at some point in the two years preceding the vote will be invited to participate in that specific vote.
