Thank you for taking the time to get to know a little more about Starting Point Church!

When praying about Starting Point church in late 2016, we knew Prescott didn’t need just another church. We spent some time dreaming about the kind of church we would want to be part of. The kind of church where…

"everyone's welcome, nobody’s perfect, anything's possible." 

Starting Point’s dream is to be a life giving church with an environment where people are encouraged, equipped and empowered by the Holy Spirit to become fully devoted followers of Jesus, and serving becomes a way of life.

It all starts with Jesus

When Jesus walked on the earth, he invited all kinds of people to “come follow” him. Most of them were a little rough around the edges: tax collectors, burly fishermen and (gasp!) prostitutes. Many of them risked everything to follow and their lives drastically changed. The religious people – the ones who kept God in a nice, neat rule book – rarely said yes.

We would rather follow Jesus. Just real people with real problems, real joys, living real life, seeking to love God and love people, and to do the stuff Jesus did. We’re not perfect and we don’t expect you to be. We are serious about creating a community where we genuinely love, encourage and train ordinary people to simply follow Jesus in today’s world. Sounds simple, but it’s rarely easy, sometimes messy and usually risky. Wherever you are in your faith journey, we hope you’ll visit us.

Come as you are

To lead people to become fully devoted followers of Jesus,

Our mission

that’s it.

Our vision

To be a community of believers that is radically devoted to Jesus, passionately committed to one another, and relentlessly focused on reaching those who have "not yet" decided to follow Jesus Christ. 

"For God so loved the world, that He gave His one and only son, that whoever believes in Him will not perish, but have eternal life. 

For God did not send His son into the world to judge
the world, but that the world might be saved through Him."

John 3:16&17

Who is starting POINT church for?

We are not interested in persuading Christians away from their home church to come to ours. 

Our primary focus will be to reach out to the “non-churched” (those with no church background) and the “de-churched” (those who have had a negative experience with Christianity and have lost interest in the church) as well as “displaced Christians” (those who have some level of faith but have not found a church in which they truly feel at home)….  But at the same time we embrace those who have allowed Jesus to capture their heart.  Those who are excited about the adventurous dream of reaching people who are far away from God, and who are willing to serve over being served.

There’s a God.

Only one God, in fact, and he is the creator of everything. We’re made in His image, which means we’re like him in many ways, except that he’s God and we’re not. He’s loving and just and desires a relationship with us. As individuals with free will, we have the freedom to respond to the relationship God’s initiated with us, or not.

We’re free to choose to live outside the realm of the life God has for us as it is explained in the Bible. Put another way, many choices we make either move us closer to God or further away from him. Making even seemingly small decisions that separate us from God is called sin. We all do it, and we’ll continue to do so. And, even then, God will love us and passionately pursue us.

God loves us so much, in fact, that he sent his only son, Jesus, to die so the rest of us could live. The cost of sin was separation from God—spiritual death—until Jesus came and his death paid everyone’s debt. That’s serious love. Because of that serious, perfect love, this gift from God is waiting for anyone who wants to receive it. This is called Grace. God gives grace freely and abundantly.

As for us, we need only to decide whether or not to believe and receive this stuff. If we decide to believe it, we have available to us a new, full life that can start now and never stop. It’s OK to have a lot of questions along the way. Although God reveals things to us (including what he’s revealed about himself in the Bible), he remains mysterious and wonderful.  See our full statement of faith at….Vineyard USA​
