I love GFN (HopePointe) church because it offers more than just a place to worship—it provides a sanctuary for the soul, a community of support, and a foundation for spiritual growth.

What do you love about GFN Church?

For me it's the focus that our church is not just about those inside the walls, but giving hope, purpose and belonging to those outside of the walls of our church. Don't get me wrong, we have some incredible people, however, the bible tells us that all have sinned and fallen short. None of us are perfect, and there is no perfect church. We need to shatter the belief that only perfect people can grace the doors of our community...Christ's blood covered it all! We need to continue to drive that we grow and learn in Christ by doing life together, in unity and in purpose. That's HOPE!!!

This year the 2025-2026 committee on nominations is asking the church to "affirm" with a vote of "yes or no" the position of NMI President.

A leader of an "essential ministry" or ministry department is an "ex-officio" member of the leadership board.
