Pursued by a loving God
CHURCH LEADERS
We believe that those who invest their hearts, time, families, and finances into the building of a local church deserve to have confidence in church leadership.
Everywhere we turn, it seems as if people today are looking for leaders who will conduct themselves with integrity and respect when making decisions that affect people’s lives.
This is why any position of leadership at New Point is held with great humility and understanding that the primary leader to the church is always Jesus. Our responsibility as leaders is to follow His lead to the best of our ability.

Teri began attending New Point in 1998. “It was life changing. I knew a lot about God, and about being a Christian.” she says. “It was at New Point I felt like I met Jesus for the first time.”
Teri came on staff at New Point in 2006, and worked there until she felt God calling her to a season of missions. “It was in missions where I learned the most about walking with God. Sometimes, I felt I was being stretched past the point of breaking,” she says, “but, it was there I found out just how faithful God is.”
In 2020, Teri started working at New Point again, doing some of the things she did in her previous position. “It’s like coming home in a sense. Yet, I sense God moving in fresh ways. It’s exciting to be a part of it!”
Along with working at New Point, Teri’s also a wife, mom, and grandmother, who loves to write sci-fi/fantasy, garden, and hike in her spare time.
