If you are looking for a church in the McKinney area, we hope that you will join us.  We are a Bible-based, nondenominational church, and our mission is to be alive in Christ.  We focus on helping people connect with God and others. If you come and visit us for worship on Sundays at 10:15 AM, we believe that you will find us:

Welcoming

We are praying everyday that God sends people just like you into our lives.  And just as God has done with us, we seek to take people wherever they are in their walk with God.  You will be greeted with a smile and a warm latte at our coffee bar (Higher Grounds).

Whether you need space or want to engage in meaningful conversation, we seek to be responsive to your needs.  If you are looking for deeper relationships, we also invite you to check out one of our small groups.

God and Christ Centered

Our worship focuses on what God has accomplished through Jesus Christ.  We praise him by telling of all his wonderful nature and all his mighty acts of creation and salvation.  We talk to him by offering up prayers, and through Scripture readings and messages from the word of God we listen to him.  Through our giving we thank him and acknowledge his rule over all our lives.  

Spiritual

When we gather together, we believe that God himself is present through his Holy Spirit.  We offer up spiritual songs using our voices, and we seek to show that the Spirit is indeed among us by demonstrating the characteristics of the Spirit--love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.  We celebrate the Lord's Supper each week, where we encountering the risen Christ and remembering his death and resurrection.  

Culturally Relevant

In today's culture, multimedia is a way of life, and so appropriate video, slides, and songs that enhance and illustrate the biblical message are used each Sunday.  Our Internet based culture is also highly interactive, and so people share their stories or testimonies of faith, with questions being asked during the message to engage the members.  Messages offer practical help for daily Christian living at work, in the family, and in the church.

Child Friendly

Jesus said that unless we become like little children, we cannot enter into the kingdom of God.  One of the favorite parts of the service for young and old alike at High Pointe is our "Children Helping Children" time, in which children stream down to the front during a children's song and give a small donation that goes towards helping children in McKinney, El Salvador and Ghana.  The children's joyful and giving hearts teach us about God. 

To help both parents and children worship, there is a Children's Worship section of worship for children age two to third grade.  An attended nursery for children birth through two years of age is also provided during Sunday morning worship.

Uplifting

Through focusing on God, our faith is built up for service to others throughout the week.  We serve each other in our "worship service" by providing opportunities for fellowship, sharing, confessing, prayer requests, and responding to God's word.  People are welcome to be as outwardly expressive as they choose to be in their worship.
