We felt called to deepen the culture of the church and support everyday people who make the vulnerable leap towards the cause Jesus left his closest followers &#8211; compassion. Ordinary people who, like us, would flounder and perish unseen and unsupported by a modern ministry framework that centers on organizational participation instead of the organic pursuit of an individual&#8217;s own call to follow Jesus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our name is a tribute to the rocky landscape Jesus and his chosen people navigated as the Gospel unfolded over 2000 years ago. Because Redpointing is characterized by sacrificial faith in the face of danger, uncertainty, and even the threat of death. To us, the name mirrors what it means to pursue the will of God. It\u2019s being uncomfortable and vulnerable while leading others on a path that may very well be uncharted in your own life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As of today, Redpoint has become a blended family of friends from the original meeting and a local church named Gracebridge, which closed its doors in September 2022. As we seek God to reform the church, we aim to send great communicators of the Gospel out into the world and be a safe space for people to explore and renew their faith.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-cdbee95 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"cdbee95\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-45e766d\" data-id=\"45e766d\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f70ec41 elementor-position-top elementor-widget elementor-widget-image-box\" data-id=\"f70ec41\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image-box.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image-box-wrapper\"><figure class=\"elementor-image-box-img\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/redpoint.church\/wp-content\/plugins\/elementor\/assets\/images\/placeholder.png\" title=\"\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"elementor-image-box-content\"><h3 class=\"elementor-image-box-title\">OUR CORE BELIEFS<\/h3><p class=\"elementor-image-box-description\">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.
