Formation in Every Vocation

As our mission states, our purpose is to “educate students for Christ-centered service and leadership throughout the world.” That’s why our goals are for:

  • Every student to see community ministry as an essential part of what it means to say, “Jesus is Lord”
  • Every student to see the importance of integrating faith and vocation
  • Some students to sense that they are called to ordained ministry as vocation

Community Formation

Point has a number of opportunities for students to connect with one another as a spiritual community. Our monthly chapel services encourage students, faculty and staff to gather together for worship, fellowship and teaching, and our Form Groups allow students to meet with a group to study the Bible together. We also partner with a local campus ministry, Feast. Feast hosts a weekly gathering, small groups and exciting activities for all residential students.

Christ-Centered Community

The Great Co-Mission

Our spiritual formation theme for the 2024-25 academic year is “The Great Co-Mission,” which is based on Matthew 28:19-20, “Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe everything I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”
