UPDATED: 07/24/2020

PURPOSE
 
The driving motivation behind our ministry decisions is to glorify God as we love God and love others.  While the doors of our building were closed, God continued to move in mighty ways as we saw the ministry of Center Point Church reach hundreds of lives in our community and in other states, and countries.  As we prepare to gather together again, we will do so in a way that is honoring to the Lord, loving of others over ourselves, and respectful of governing authorities.
This plan was developed in consultation with church leadership, denominational leadership, fellow denominational churches, professionals who attend Center Point, as well as feedback from our congregation as a whole.  Moreover, much prayer and concern for developing a welcoming and loving environment for the maximum number of people during this COVID-19 Era lead us to the following plan for Phase 1 of Reopening the facilities for Center Point Church.
