Who We Are

Our Connection Pointe Staff Team is a unified group of imperfect people who tirelessly work to connect people to a saving relationship with Jesus and life changing relationships with each other. As individuals we have a personal relationship with Christ and are committed to the vision of Connection Pointe Christian Church.

How We Lead

• We give ministry away: as staff we are always looking for faithful volunteers who can step up into roles that allow us to expand and replicate ourselves. We look for leaders who can lead leaders.
• We work hard and prioritize our families: with the exception of Easter, Christmas and other “all hands” pushes, we work 5 days a week and have an extended two-day sabbath from Friday through Saturday for weekend required employees that allows us to leave work at work and be with our families.
• We are always improving: we seek new ways of connecting people to Jesus and each other. We are always asking “How could we make this experience or environment better?”
• We are customer first: we seek world class customer experiences that meet people in their mess and surpass expectations.
• We find a way: we cut through red tape like ninjas, relentlessly seeking to serve the people in our care with grace, perseverance and courage. There is always a way, we just have to find it.
• We assume the best and fight for unity
