“And though a man might prevail against one who is alone, two will withstand him—a threefold cord is not quickly broken.” –Ecclesiastes 4:12
HUDSONVILLE – God has placed a distinct and unique call on Chapel Pointe to engage in Kingdom expansion. We have a God-sized vision to see 1,000 churches strengthened and 1,000,000 souls move from death to life across the world. Our team knows that we cannot do this work alone, which is why we launched the Chapel Pointe Family of Churches.
The Chapel Pointe Family of Churches is a committed, collaborative group of churches choosing a path of interdependence to advance the gospel together. Through shared initiatives, people, and finances, like-hearted and like-minded churches will pursue Kingdom Expansion for the sake of the gospel.
Ultimately, our goal as a regional church is to promote church health and multiply churches throughout the nation and world. The foundation for this desire is rooted in a love for the body of Christ and for lost souls. We desire everyone to encounter a living Savior and be transformed by the power of the gospel.
Through the Family of Churches, Chapel Pointe is hoping to see significant movement in the following areas:
Developing Spiritual Leaders
Strengthening Existing Churches
Starting New Churches
