So here's the deal, The Point cares about one thing over everything else - Jesus Christ and helping people to have a relationship with Him. We're just a family of peeps that have found hope in Jesus, and simply want as many people as possible to experience that exact same freedom!

North Point Church was launched in March of 1991 by Dennis Corley and a handful of people with the same vision to reach people for Christ in the Winthrop Harbor area. Outgrowing the small church building they started in within a few years, they moved down the street to meet in the local junior high. However, it wasn't long before they outgrew that location as well and started meeting at the local high school.

It was while meeting at the high school that this group of believers began a campaign to build their own church building at the corner of 9th and Lewis in Winthrop Harbor. On June 23, 2002, that dream was realized as the first service was held in that new building, and we've been meeting there ever since. On August 16, 2020, after having been closed for 5 months due to the Covid pandemic, North Point Church reopened with an outdoor service, and a new name - - - The Point!

What's the bottom line? More than anything we desire people to become fully devoted followers of Jesus Christ. We believe that if people become followers of Jesus, individual lives, families, the community and the world can be changed for the better. We desire that people have hope, our communities have positive progress, and the world is better off with the message of Hope in Jesus through the church.

What does this mean for you? We want you to know that, you're always welcome at The Point. We want to be a place for people that don’t even like church! We're saving a seat for you. Wherever you're at in your life journey, you'll be accepted here at The Point as a part of our family.
