Who
we are

OUR STORY

StrongPoint Church formerly Kingdom Christian Center began back in 1997 with just 4 people.

We have grown over the years while being committed to serving the great city of Columbus. We have a rich history and reputation of loving people and reaching the unchurched. That rich history is what we’re building our destiny on, and we’d love for you to come be part of our journey.

The Bible says "let the weak say I am strong." We’re here to take people from a weak point to a StrongPoint in their lives. Our slogan is Strengthening one life at a time, hence the name StrongPoint Church.

OUR BELIEFS

Jesus Christ is God the Son, the second person of the Trinity. He is the only man ever to have lived a sinless life. He was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, performed miracles, died on the cross for mankind and thus atoned for our sins through the shedding of His blood. He rose from the dead on the third day according to the Scriptures, ascended to the right hand of the Father, and will return again in power and glory.

John 1:1, 14, 20:28; I Timothy 3:16; Isaiah 9:6; Philippians 2:5-6; I Timothy 2:5

When Jesus ascended to heaven He sent the Holy Spirit to join us, fill us, and teach us to live Christ-centered lives. When you see a believer full of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, gentleness, and self-control, you know that the Holy Spirit is alive in them.

Acts 1:8; 2:4; Romans 5:5 and Romans 8; 1 Corinthians 12-14; Galatians 5:16-25; Ephesians 3:16, Ephesians 4:3-4, and Ephesians 5:18; John 14:26 and John 16:7-14

The Holy Bible, and only the Bible, is the authoritative Word of God. It alone is the final authority in determining all doctrinal truths.

II Timothy 3:16; II Peter 1:20-21; Proverbs 30:5; Romans 16:25-26
‍

The Church is the Body of Christ and the hope of the world. It is God’s plan A, with no plan B. The Church proclaims the good news of Christ, both locally and globally, calling the lost to repentance and faith.

Revelation 4; Acts 1:8; Matthew 28:18-20; Ephesians 4:11-13; Acts 2:42; 26:17

We are saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ; His death,
burial and resurrection. Salvation is a gift from God, not a result
of our good works or of any human efforts.
‍
Ephesians 2:8-9; Galatians 2:16, 3:8; Titus 3:5; Romans 10:9-10; Acts 16:31; Hebrews 9:22

Baptism is an outward expression of an inward change. It’s a public declaration of how Jesus changed your life. Being baptized shows others that you’ve decided to follow Jesus, and allows them to celebrate this decision with you.

Acts 16:31-34; 1 Peter 3:21
