MEET OUR STAFF

Committed to Instilling Faith, Hope and Love in Lives

OUR TEAM

At Waypoint Christian Church, we desire our staff to be able to speak truth in love. Truth is what penetrates the heart of the lost and is what builds up the saint, and love provides and furnishes the atmosphere by which truth is communicated. Together, speaking the truth in love is where the power of the Gospel resides. Contact us today and speak with one of our staff members!
