CHURCH PLANTING

"How will they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in him of who they have never heard? And how are they to hear without someone preaching? And how are they to preach unless they are sent?" 

Romans 10:14–15

NorthPointe Residency Program

NorthPointe's residency program exists to equip men of character with the needed skills to succeed as future pastors and church planters. The program places a special emphasis on those with a heart to plant and revitalize churches in the local Johnson County area. Over the course of 18 months, participants will have the opportunity to serve in every area of the church while earning credit towards their Master’s Program. The church will cover the tuition for every course completed as part of the residency and provide a living stipend for residence.

Church Planting

At NorthPointe, we believe church planting is one of the most effective ways to reach people with the gospel and make disciples. We’re committed to multiplying healthy, gospel-centered churches that impact their communities and advance God’s Kingdom.

Launching September 2026

We are thrilled to celebrate the upcoming launch of Lake Trail Church in Cleburne, TX—a new church plant of NorthPointe, planned to launch in September 2026! We are so grateful for the Lord’s direction in allowing this plant to happen. We are thankful for all that has already taken place in this process and for how God has blessed each step. There is a great need in this community, and we trust that God will continue to guide and provide as we take this next step in faith.
