Our vision, mission & values

Gospel reorientation for the suburbs.

We believe the good news of Jesus can reorient how we understand ourselves, love one another, and live in the neighborhoods God has given us.

Our vision

A different story of the good life.

Our neighborhoods are full of people made in God’s image, with real gifts, hopes, and pressures. It’s easy to build a life around achievement, independence, and keeping up appearances. The gospel offers a deeper center: identity received in Christ, honest relationships, and purpose in the places we live.

Our mission

Rest. Restoration. Flourishing.

01 / REST

Receive God’s love.

Our worth is received through Christ, so we can stop trying to earn acceptance and rest in the Father’s love.

Waypoint Church exists to help people find rest in God’s love, restore wholeness to our lives through Christ, and work toward the flourishing of our neighborhoods, our city, and the nations.


02 / RESTORATION

Grow toward wholeness.

God’s grace frees us to name what is broken, grow in faith, and be renewed together by the Holy Spirit.


03 / FLOURISHING

Love the places we’re sent.

Renewed people seek the good of neighbors, the city, and the nations through ordinary lives of love and service.

The life we are learning to live

our Values.

These six values describe the kind of people we hope God’s grace will make us. They give shape to our worship, community, and life beyond Sunday.
