Podcasting is a method of automatically distributing audio and video content over the Internet. The word ‘podcasting’ is a mix of the words ‘iPod’ (Apple’s popular portable mp3 player) and ‘broadcasting.’
No. To download a podcast, you only need a computer with an Internet connection and podcast software (which you’ll need to install). Apple’s iTunes is one such program that is popular for downloading and listening to podcasts. Click here to see a list of other software suppliers. To listen to podcast content, you’ll need an mp3 player or any computer with audio-playing software.
Our MP3 messages will be available until approximately one week after the current series ends. After that time, the messages will be available on our Web store for $1 per message.
You should refer to the Help section in your podcasting application. You may also want to delete the podcast feed and re-subscribe. If you are still encountering problems, you can contact us at .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address).
Our duplication policy allows for the duplication of up to 20 audio messages for family and friends, for training purposes, or for “within church” sharing and discussion.
If you would like more than 20 copies, volume discounts on our CDs and DVDs are available through our Web store.
No. We just want you to come and get connected. Registering for GroupLink does help us plan for the event. If you can, let us know you’re coming by visiting www.northpoint.org/grouplink and clicking the appropriate Register Now link on the right side of the page.
If any of the groups that form at GroupLink aren’t full, we’d love to help you get connected. We’ll post a list of groups with openings at www.northpoint.org/grouplink a couple days after the event. If one of the groups matches your stage of life and area of town, and is meeting on a night of the week that works for you, sign up online.
Open group listings are active for 2–3 weeks after GroupLink. Openings are filled on a first-come, first-served basis.
You can also try an Access Group. They’re like Community Groups, but meet weekly for a short term to explore marriage, finances, or spiritual growth.
Access groups begin in March, June, and October. For more information, go to www.northpoint.org.org/accessgroups.
You go to GroupLink, a two-hour event, to join a community group. Community groups are small groups of six married couples or eight individuals of the same gender that meet weekly in someone’s home for fellowship, Bible study, and prayer.
Volunteers serve a vital role at each GroupLink event. Assimilators are volunteers who help people connect into groups by providing information about upcoming GroupLink events. They also attend the GroupLinks to assist people as they form groups.
Childcare is not provided, but we do reimburse (at a predetermined rate) for babysitters needed in order to attend a GroupLink event. Childcare reimbursement forms are provided at GroupLink.
Married Couples
Community groups comprised of married couples in the same stage of life (Just Married, couples without children, with children, and empty nesters) and area of town.
Men’s and Women’s
Men and women can join same-gender, singles-only groups or various stages of life groups (married, single, divorced, widowed).
College
Community groups comprised of students from Metro-Area college campuses. Each group is either all men or all women.
Starting Point
Starting Point is a 10-week conversational small group where people can explore faith and experience community. These groups are comprised of men and women of all ages and stages of life (single, married, divorced, and widowed). Click here for the Starting Point website.

Community Groups are small groups of six married couples or eight individuals of the same gender that meet weekly in someone’s home for fellowship, Bible study, and prayer. They are for adults of all ages, stages of life, and spiritual maturity.
Fusion is a larger singles environment where singles are able to meet other men and women twice a month. In contrast, Community Groups are small groups of six married couples or eight individuals of the same gender that meet weekly in someone’s home for fellowship, Bible study, and prayer.
Starting Point groups are our only groups that contain both singles and married couples together.
Childcare is not provided, but we do reimburse (at a predetermined rate) for babysitters needed for each group meeting. Click here for a childcare reimbursement form.
Our groups generally meet Monday through Thursday evenings, with some meeting on Sundays. Most married groups meet in the evenings, while men’s and women’s groups meet mornings and evenings. While most groups meet in a consistent location (the home of a group member), some groups prefer to take turns meeting in different members’ homes.
Most groups meet weekly. Some groups meet for three weeks out of the month and either take off the fourth week or do a social activity together. Due to vacation schedules, groups consisting of married couples with children often do not meet during the summer.
Community Groups initially commit to meet for eight weeks as a Starter Group. After those first eight weeks, the group members decide if they want to continue meeting together for an additional 16 - 22 months. Therefore, the total duration of a typical Community Group is between one and a half to two years.
Each Community Group picks the length of time they will meet. However, most groups meet for an hour and a half to two hours.
Though each group differs in how they do things, many groups have a social time in the beginning, then they transition to a time where they discuss the book they are studying and pray for each other. At the very beginning of the group, the whole group decides how much time they will spend on social, discussion, and prayer time (as well as the order in which they take place).
During the term of the group, the group leader will train an apprentice to be the leader of the next group. At the end of the group, the leader will take half the current group, and the apprentice (after becoming an approved leader) will take the other half of the group. Then they will both add more members to their respective new groups, therefore allowing others to join groups with seasoned leaders.
Each group picks their own curriculum to study with the help of their Groups Director (a staff member who guides the group). Groups that form at GroupLink are given a free starter study provided by North Point Community Church.
"Our mission is to lead people into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ." We accomplish our mission by creating environments where people are encouraged and equipped to pursue intimacy with God, community with insiders, and influence with outsiders.
Biblical Authority
God has spoken to us through the Bible and we recognize it as the final authority for our lives.
Are your priorities consistent with Scripture?
Intimacy with God
God desires an intimate relationship with each of us.
Is your relationship with God growing?
Relevant Environments
Every environment should be designed to effectively connect with its target audience.
Are your environments appealing, engaging, and helpful?
Relational Evangelism
God's message of forgiveness through Christ is most effectively conveyed within the context of personal relationships.
In whom are you investing?
Authentic Community
Accountability, belonging, care, and spiritual growth happen best with relationally-connected believers.
Are you in a small group?
Strategic Service
Our spiritual gifts have maximum impact when exercised in support of our strategy.
Where are you serving?
Intentional Apprenticing
We are responsible to pass along to others the knowledge, skills, and opportunities that have been entrusted to us.
Who are you apprenticing?
If you are interested in learning more about North Point Community Church's 7 Core Values, you can purchase the series "Simply Irresistible" from :connections (our Resource Center), or on our Web store. In "Simply Irresistible," Andy Stanley explains each of our core values in depth.
- Membership helps the staff identify the people we can trust to lead and care for others.
- Membership signifies that a person has a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, and that he/she is willing to go public with that faith through baptism.
- Membership signifies one's willingness to support this ministry with his or her time, talents, and treasure, and to be held accountable to the values of NPCC. With the added requirement of participation on a strategic service team or in a community group, it also signifies that the person will partner with us in our strategy of "Foyer to Kitchen".
- Because of what membership represents, members are the most qualified people to be in a leadership position.
- Often, if people are not willing to be held accountable, to go public with their faith through baptism, or to commit to leading people into a relationship with Jesus Christ, it can be an indication that they are not ready to lead others within the church environments.
- Partnering with the church helps lead people into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ. Members can draw great satisfaction from knowing that they are instrumental in leading others into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ.
- Those people who want to join the church seem to understand the paradigm shift of "What do I get?" to "What can I give?"
- Have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
- Have been baptized SINCE accepting Christ.
- Are willing to support this ministry with time, talents, and treasure and are willing to be held accountable to the church in matters concerning relationship to God and to others.
- Be involved in community through a community group, starting point, and/or serving on a strategic service team.
- Strategic service teams are groups of volunteers who serve within the church. Volunteers are vital to North Point and we look to them to facilitate and potentially lead the environments we have created to help lead people into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ.
- Membership here is not just having your name on a list. Being a member indicates a willingness to partner and potentially lead with us in our mission to lead people into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ.
- We believe that life change happens best through community. A community group is the best environment to open God's Word together, pray together, grow together, be held accountable, be cared for, and experience being part of a family.
- Because authentic community and strategic service are two of our seven core values , we want our members to partner with us in achieving these.
- * Go through the process on the website and complete the membership application online. Before you submit it, there will be an area to fill in the appropriate information about your small group or service team.
- Go through the process on the Web site. Please indicate that you are in a group in the area titled "Involvement in Community." Someone will contact you to officially register your group.
- * Yes, but we encourage you to re-engage in community as soon as possible. After completing the application, please indicate that you are in between groups in the area titled "Involvement in Community."

We have created three environments that will help people take steps toward a growing relationship with Jesus Christ.
The Foyer - (Guest)
It's the place in your home that serves as the welcome area for guests and new friends. It's the first step, and it's often your only chance to make your guests feel comfortable enough to return. That's exactly how we've designed our entry environments at North Point Community Church. Our Sunday morning worship services are "foyer" environments. We want our guests to come back, so we do everything with them in mind. These environments are where most people will experience NPCC for the first time, and they serve as the perfect place to introduce newcomers to the life of North Point Community Church. Each area of our church also has its own foyer: middle school has Transit, high school has InsideOut, and families have KidStuf.
The Living Room - (Friends)
Once your guests arrive and are welcomed into your home, you invite them into the living room. Everyone finds a comfortable place to sit, and the interaction begins. This is where you connect with people like yourself. Smaller and more interactive than the foyer environment, this is a real-life, genuine opportunity to begin friendships... just like you would in your home. Married adults have MarriedLife Live -- quarterly events designed to encourage your hearts, draw you closer together and offer you the essentials for a healthy marriage... all in a casual, fun environment. Single adults have FUSiON gatherings. These are monthly or bimonthly social events held in various locations around Atlanta. Each of our student ministries has this type of environment.
The Kitchen - (Family)
What's the most popular room in your house? Where do you end up when friends and family come over? That's right. The kitchen. And that's the kind of environment we're striving for in our small groups: community groups and Starting Point. These groups consist of six to eight individuals or five to six couples who meet regularly for Bible study and prayer and commit to accountability, friendship, and support. This is a safe place to open your heart and share your feelings. It's a safe place to ask tough questions. This is where lasting friendships are made. It's about commitment and strength and security. And we want to help you get there.

GroupLink
It is hard to say which is the best way, but two ways are through service on a ministry team or through one of our living room environments (see above). Both of these offer you the opportunity to connect with other people.
Strategic Service teams are volunteers gathered together to serve within the church. Volunteers are vital to North Point and we look to them to facilitate and potentially lead the environments we have created to help lead people into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ. Below are several ministry teams that offer you a great way to plug into life at North Point. Contact us at (678) 892-5600 and ask to speak to someone from the ministry you are interested in or click here to fill out the strategic service form and someone will contact you.

Our mission is to lead people into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ. We feel that this is best done in a true small group atmosphere. There are several reasons why we feel that community groups work better than adult Sunday school.
Not having adult Sunday School helps our members participate in our "Invest & Invite" evangelism strategy.
Home meetings provide safe, predictable environments where no one slips through the cracks. People benefit from the consistency and accountability of small groups. By participating in small groups outside of the regular Sunday morning schedule, adults are free to serve in a ministry area on Sunday mornings.
:CONNECTIONS (RESOURCE CENTER)

Sunday - 8:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. (Open during services)

The way we describe the role of government at NPCC is that we are guarded by the elders, guided by the staff, and gifted through the membership. More specifically, the government consists of five teams of people:
- The Elders
- The Stewardship Team
- The Executive Staff
- The Personnel Team
- The Ministry Team Representatives
The elders function primarily as discerners and guardians of the organization. They are not expected to oversee specific projects or ministry areas in their capacity as elders. They function as overseers for the entire organization. The elders evaluate the effectiveness and direction of the organization according to the church's mission, resources, and doctrine.
The stewardship team oversees all financial matters. The senior pastor is accountable to the stewardship team in all these matters and, along with the business administrator, attends these team meetings without voting privileges. The existing members of the stewardship team select new team members. The elders approve new members.
The senior pastor selects the executive staff. The purpose of this group is to determine programming, give vision to the various ministries of the organization, and oversee the day-to-day operations.
The personnel team establishes guidelines for staff salaries. The personnel team is comprised of current or former elders or stewardship team members.
A ministry team representative (MTR) is a volunteer chosen from the leadership of a particular ministry team to represent that group at a quarterly meeting with the senior pastor, the executive staff, and the elders. MTR meetings are a time for an open exchange of ideas and information. An MTR commits to serve a one-year term and may be appointed for an additional term.
We are always looking for quality individuals who are engaged in the ministry and interested in bringing their talents to work. If you are actively involved at North Point Community Church, you may submit your resume online along with a brief questionnaire that helps us get to know a little more about you.
We believe the entire Bible is the inspired Word of God and that men were moved by the Spirit of God to write the very words of Scripture. Therefore, we believe the Bible is without error.
We believe in one God who exists in three distinct persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. We believe that Jesus Christ is the second member of the Trinity (the Son of God) who became flesh to reveal God to humanity and to become the Savior of the lost world.
We believe that all people were created in the image of God to have fellowship with him but became alienated in that relationship through sinful disobedience. As a result, people are incapable of regaining a right relationship with God through their own efforts.
We believe that the blood of Jesus Christ, shed on the cross, provides the sole basis for the forgiveness of sin. Therefore, God freely offers salvation to those who place their faith in the death and resurrection of Christ as sufficient payment for their sin.
We believe all Christians should live for Christ and not for themselves. By obedience to the Word of God and daily yielding to the Spirit of God, every believer should mature and be conformed to the image of Christ.
We believe that the church is the body of Christ, of which Jesus Christ is the head. The members of the church are those who have trusted by faith the finished work of Christ. The purpose of the church is to glorify God by loving him and by making him known to the lost world.
North point is involved in missions in three primary ways: partnerships, short-term trips, and leader training.
Our partnerships revolve around relationships with like-minded missionaries, churches, and organizations that share our vision and strategy.
One to three weeks in length, our short-term trips are designed to support existing partnerships and to explore future partnerships. Through our short-term trip strategy we provide strategic support for our missionary partners while exposing North Point people to a more global view of God's kingdom.
One of the most effective ways to multiply our influence in order to reach a nation for Christ is to train and equip national Christian leaders. North Point invests in national leader training by supporting selected training centers and organizations, and by conducting short-term training trips.
Simply go to the short-term trips webpage and download the application. To learn more about North Point World Missions, go to the World Missions homepage.
MarriedLife offers Events and Great Dates designed to encourage married couples, draw you together, and offer practical tools for a healthy marriage.
Yes! If you would like for us to mail you a supply of envelopes for your tithe contributions, please send your name, address, and campus to .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address). A supply of envelopes is also available at the Information Center at each campus. If you typically place your tithe check in an offering bucket during worship services, you do not need to use an envelope.
Waumba Land is our environment for preschool children, birth through pre-kindergarten. "Waumba" is the Swahilian word for Creator, so Waumba Land is the "Land of the Creator." We want children to walk away from Waumba Land knowing three things: God made me, God loves me, and Jesus wants to be my friend forever. This is accomplished by creating a comfortable place where children have a consistent leader and experience a caring God.
We have 34 classrooms. All classes are open at 8:30 a.m. and 10:30 a.m. and 12 classes are open at 12:30 p.m.
We use First Look, a curriculum written by The reThink Group. To find out more information about First Look, go to
Babies and crawlers are 3:1; toddlers and two's are 4:1, and three's and pre-K are 5:1.
It takes 600-700 volunteers to make Waumba Land happen each Sunday. Our Host Team assists first time guests with registration. Coaches are responsible for connecting with and supporting the volunteer staff of 2-3 classes. Small Group Leaders oversee classroom activities and are responsible for connecting with a group of 8-10 children through phone calls to the home and postcards. Coaches, Teachers, and Small Group Leaders work one service every Sunday. Host Team members work twice a month. Click here to get involved.
We ask that every parent volunteer once a quarter, but it is not required.
Every volunteer must complete a Family Ministry Application, secure three references, and sign a consent form for a criminal background check to be run. We complete background checks on all volunteers who work every week with the children.
When parents drop their children off, they receive a numbered security tag. Their child gets the corresponding numbered tag clipped to their shirt and diaper bag. The parent must present the correct security tag to the teacher at the end of the hour in order to pick up their child. We also use the security tag number to page parents from the service if their child needs them during the hour.
KidStuf exists to partner with parents. We believe that parents are ultimately responsible for the spiritual development of their children (Deuteronomy 6:4-9). We also recognize that parents have a whole lot more time with their kids than anyone at church. In fact, each year kids spend about 3,000 hours with their parents versus the 40 or so that they will spend attending church on Sunday. As a result, no one has more influence over a child than his or her parent. Because of this, we believe that what happens at home is more important than what happens at church. We believe that it is our role to partner with parents by providing a plan that will give them the tools they need to lead their kids spiritually. This plan is launched at KidStuf Live on the first Sunday of the month. During the rest of the month, it continues with UpStreet, KidStuf Take-Out and KidStuf Online. For more information, click here.
On Sunday mornings, elementary-school-aged children have their small-group meeting in UpStreet. They are divided by grades for Bible stories, instructional praise and group discussions. This is where they meet friends, talk about God, and participate in a time of meaningful worship. For more information and/or to register click here: UpStreet
The focus on UpStreet is our small group environment. Small group leaders engage kids in meaningful discussions and hands-on activities.
We concentrate on three principles:
-
1. I need to make the wise choice.
2. I can trust God no matter what.
3. I should treat others the way I want to be treated.
We use 252 Basics curriculum, which is based on Luke 2:52. Children are involved in a variety of small group activities that are centered around "the bottom line."
UpStreet averages 500 volunteers per Sunday. Volunteers are identified through coaches, personal referrals, and our annual Strategic Service Sunday. Volunteers attend an orientation session where they are given an application, background check form, and referral forms. After orientation, they are assigned to experienced coaches. The coaches train the volunteers on the curriculum and on the policy & procedure guidelines to be used with the UpStreet kids.
UpStreet's average attendance is approximately 1,500 children every Sunday.
We offer the Jump Start program to elementary children once a quarter. Jump Start is a program where parents and children learn what it means to have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. It is designed to help kids begin their spiritual journeys. The next step after Jump Start is our Family Birthday Celebration, which is a special baptism service for children who have made the decision to trust in Christ.
The middle school ministry is focused on helping students grow in their relationship with Christ and with each other. We try to do this by creating relevant environments where they are encouraged to prioritize their relationship with Christ, influence their friends, and experience personal ministry.
There are seven principles that are discussed throughout the different environments that middle school and high school students are a part of. For a description of these seven principles, click below:
The 7 Checkpoints For Students
Listed below are the environments and links to the page where you can learn more about them.
Transit is the weekly teaching environments for 7th through 8th grade students at North Point Community Church. Students meet during the 9:00 am and 11:00 am worship services. Each week students experience a mixture of worship, games, a challenging talk, and most importantly interaction with a small group.
Kaos is an exciting event that happens three times a year. Students are encouraged to bring their friends that do not normally attend NPCC or any church at all. At each Kaos, students experience a safe environment with some sort of overall theme such as a dance party or Super Bowl pre-game party that includes a variety of games and activities. The goal of Kaos is for a student to bring a friend on Saturday night and then bring that friend back to NPCC on Sunday morning.
Much like the rest of the church the mission is to lead students into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ by creating environments where students prioritize their relationship with Christ, influence their friends, and experience personal ministry.
There are seven principles that are discussed throughout the different environments that middle school and high school students are a part of. For a description of these seven principles, click below:
The 7 Checkpoints For Students
Our high school ministry is divided into three environments. Here is a short description of each of the environments.
Inside Out meets every Sunday night from 4:30p.m. to 6:30p.m. and divides teenagers into small groups to challenge them in their relationship with Christ. Students engage in worship through master teaching and small groups. Dinner is provided for the students after Inside Out and it is a time for fun and fellowship.
Rush Hour is a fun, comfortable non-threatening environment where students can bring their friends to an upbeat, fun and relevant place. This time is often spent enjoying a live performance by the Rush Hour band. The night also consists of games and skits that provide exciting entertainment. The night is usually wrapped up by a speaker who explains the gospel in a way that is relevant to students.
Student Impact gives students the opportunity to model what it means to be "others" focused by serving in the many ministries within the church. Many students volunteer their time to invest in others in all environments of the church. This is a great way for students to meet and build relationships with adults and children.
No. Aligning with the North Point strategy, we understand the need for volunteers and the benefit of being involved with a ministry team on Sunday mornings. Any ministry team at North Point Community Church would be an excellent place to volunteer. The link below lists a few areas where the Singles Ministry encourages you to get involved.
Strategic Service
