Who are We?

Connection Point is a Christ-centered, community-conscious church, meeting in Brookland, Arkansas. 

We want to be a people who care for those around us in a way that can only be inspired by Jesus. It's our hope that people who visit our church or interact with our people walk away feeling encouraged, refreshed, and drawn closer to God.

Core Values

The foundation of our church is the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. We believe that His life is a model for the way we should live our own, His death is the sacrifice that atoned for our sins, and His resurrection is the powerful hope we have for eternity.

  • Biblical

    Authority

    We believe that the Bible is the very Word of God and is the final authority for all of life.

  • Relevant

    Context

    We believe that the church is charged with the responsibility to bring the timeless message of the gospel of Jesus into a specific time, place, and culture. All of the ways that we communicate should be relevant and fit the context of our audience.   

  • Powerful

    relationships

    We believe in the value of relationships both with God and with other believers. We were not made to live this life alone; we were made for community and need others in our lives to encourage us, love us, and hold us accountable.   

  • Real-World

    Ministry

    We believe that following Christ is about more than simply meeting people’s spiritual needs, but also their physical needs. We “live out” our faith when we feed the hungry, visit the sick, provide for the poor, and care for the orphans and widows in our community and around the world.

What We Believe

God
There is one living and true God, the Creator of the universe, revealed in the unity of the Godhead as God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. 

(Exodus 15:11; Isaiah 45:11; Matthew 28:19)


The Scriptures
The Scriptures are God’s inerrant, divinely inspired revelation which provide the standard for the believer’s faith and practice. 

(II Timothy 3:16, 17)


Creation
God created all things for His own glory.

(Genesis 1; Colossians 1:16)


Satan
Satan is a person who with his demons opposes all that is true and godly.

(John 8:44; 1 Peter 5:8)


Depravity
Although created in the image of God, man fell through sin and that sin nature has been transmitted to every member of the human race leaving each one unchangeably depraved apart from divine grace. 

(Romans 3:23)


Salvation
Salvation is the work of God based wholly on His grace and received through faith in Christ Jesus whereby through the death and blood of Jesus, God forgives sinners, frees from condemnation, and gives full assurance of future glorification. 

(Ephesians 2:8, 9; I Timothy 2:4-6; Romans 3:24-26)


Security
All believers are eternally secure in Jesus Christ. 

(John 10:24-30; Romans 8:35-39)


The Church
A New Testament church is a local congregation of baptized believers acknowledging Jesus as her only Head. Jesus instituted His church during His personal ministry on earth and will perpetuate it until His return. 

(Matthew 16:18; 28:20)


Last Things
Our risen Lord will return personally in bodily form to receive His redeemed unto Himself. All of the dead will be raised in order: the righteous dead in “the resurrection of life” and the wicked dead in “the resurrection of damnation.” Heaven is the eternal home of the redeemed and hell is the place of eternal punishment for the devil, his angels, and the unredeemed. 

(I Thessalonians 4:13-17; John 5:24-29; John 14:1-3; Revelation 20:10-15)
