Programs at The Point are designed to encourage volunteers from local churches to use their
gifts, talents, professional background and experiences to help develop young men and women
spiritually, emotionally, academically, and physically.
Every evening a different church provides a meal for
up to 80 students, engages the youth in an activity,
and shares a devotional from the bible with the entire
group.
The Point Youth Center aims to address the
spiritual, emotional, academic, and physical
needs of young people by partnering with
local churches. We provide a 22000 square
foot facility that includes a 6000 sq ft
gymnasium, indoor skate park, a cafeteria
that seats up to 80, a commercial kitchen, a
3000 sq ft Girls Room which includes a hair
salon, nail salon, kitchen, and lounge area. We
partner with 25 Churches and have over 300
volunteers. Every evening a different church
provides a meal for the students, a message
from the Bible, and spends time engaging the
youth in various games and activities.
If you would like to volunteer as an
individual, or if you would like to get your
