Since you are currently meeting in a high school, will you ever have a building?
In December of 2006 High Pointe purchased 40 acres of land approximately .8 mile west of the intersection of 224th and SR161 in Graham. Over the next 2-3 years, we will be preparing the site in order to build a permanent home for our church. Meanwhile, we are very blessed to be able to rent the facilities at Emerald Ridge High School.

Why is it important to go to church? Can't I worship God on my own?
Yes, you can worship God by yourself, wherever you are, and, in fact, we are commanded by the Bible to do so. However, the Bible also teaches us that we are created for community—to be joined with other believers to honor God together, and together to carry on the ministry He has given us to change the spiritual landscape of South Hill and beyond.
Are people who are not Christians welcome at High Pointe?
Yes! We exist to provide a friendly, welcoming environment to those who have not yet crossed the line of faith in Jesus Christ. Here you can check out what it means to be a follower of Christ without worrying about people coming to your house uninvited, or us trying to guilt you into giving. Feel free to come, relax, and experience God at a level that makes you feel comfortable. We won't pressure you, but will be available to answer any questions you may have.
What should I wear to your church? Do I have to dress up?
Dress however you feel comfortable. Most of our church dresses quite casually. Shorts and tee-shirts are common in warm weather.
Can God forgive someone like me?
Yes, God will forgive anyone who genuinely seeks His forgiveness, regardless of his/her past. Because Jesus Christ has completely paid the penalty for our wrong-doing, as His followers we can live completely guilt-free.
