Greetings my friend and welcome to the web page for Northpointe Family Center! We welcome you to worship the Lord with us, and we have prepared a seat for you. You are invited to come join us as we journey through life together.
As the lead pastor at NFC I have known the call of God on my life since I was five years old. I grew up as a church member but spent the first 18 years of my life running from God! On November 15, 1968 I received Jesus as my Savior. Since then I've spent my life seeking to make Him Lord! After college I began my life as pastor of a circuit of churches in north Missouri. After graduate school I spent the next 22 years of my life building radio stations for Christian organizations.
With a handful of close friends we pioneered Northpointe Family Center in June of 2007. We are a family of believers who are walking through this journey of life together, hand in hand with The Father. We seek to experience Him in every aspect of our lives. As we experience Him we come to Know Him in a greater way. The Bible says, "And this is eternal life, that we might know Him..." (John 17:3). Our purpose is to know Him and be known by Him each day of our lives. As we make ourselves vulnerable to Him we come to know Him in a more intimate way! As we come to know Him in a more intimate way we see Him demonstrate His love in our lives. We experience a life-changing love that makes us new creatures in Christ. We seek to know Him more intimately and make Him known to others We invite you to join our family of believers.
