Meet High Pointe Church:

For more than 100 years, God has led the High Pointe Family on a remarkable journey. Founded in 1917, a few families began gathering as a Body of Christ with the intent of making a difference in the community around them.

From the earliest days, God gave our church a vision of reaching Collin County for Christ, and God is still calling High Pointe toward that vision. We envision a community of Christ-followers courageously engaging culture with the hope of Jesus where we live, learn, and work.

The invitation from Jesus to follow him is an invitation to discover the purpose for which we've been created. We want everyone to share the hope we have found in Christ.

Our prayer is that you will join us on this journey of faith as we set our sights on helping others to GROW in their relationship with God, CONNECT in an authentic community, and SERVE others with their passions and gifts.
