About Us
We Exist to
give EVERYONe
On Long Island multiple opportunities to hear and respond to Jesus, by being a missional and attractional church that leads people into a deeper relationship with God.
What To Expect
The first thing we want you to know is: You’re with friends, so relax. Whether you’re a seasoned church veteran or have never been in church before, we want you to grab a cup of coffee and feel at home. Come as you are... really. Any Sunday is a great day to check us out!
We are ONE church with seven campus locations across Long Island, with more in the planning. #brooklyn2montauk Find a CenterPoint Church near you.
VISIT USEach service is around an hour. We start with live popular worship music led by our many teams of talented musicians. After a time of transition, a pastor from our preaching team will speak about the Bible and relevant topics to your life. Then we have a closing worship song.
Jesus teaches His followers to “do this in rememberance of me,” with no indication
of how often we should celebrate Communion. At CenterPoint, we have chosen to do
this on the first Sunday of the month.
We invite everyone who has put their faith in Jesus to celebrate Communion with us,
whether you are a member of CenterPoint or not. We ask that each believer examine
his or her own heart according to 1 Corinthians 11:27-29 before receiving Communion.
Come as you are. We are a casual church. You will find a range of dress styles from jeans and t-shirts, to shorts and flip-flops, to an occasional sport jacket and dress. So come dressed however you are comfortable and you will fit right in.
We have children’s church available at all campuses. All volunteers go through
background checks and receive excellent training. To find the appropriate classroom
for your children, look for the CP Kids check-in area. You can’t miss it. Our team
of dedicated volunteers will direct you and your children to their classrooms.
If you have an infant or toddler and you are not comfortable using the nursery, we
have video monitors in the lobbies of our other campuses. You are welcome to watch
the service from these locations with your child.
We know it takes a lot to try something new. As a visitor YOU ARE OUR GUEST, and we will have a gift to give YOU! Make sure to visit our Connect Point area before or after the service. You can speak to any staff or volunteer about your questions and learn about all the exciting things going on here at CenterPoint Church.

Our Beliefs
The word of God
We believe that the Holy Bible is God’s Word, that it was written by men divinely inspired, and that
it is inerrant in the original writings. It is the supreme and final authority in all matters of
faith and practice (II Tim 3: 16-17; II Pet 1:21).
The trinity
We believe in one God, creator and sustainer of all things, eternally existing in three persons,
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit; they are equal in every divine perfection and that they execute
distinct but harmonious offices in the work of creation, providence, and redemption (Gen 1:26; Deut
6:4, Matt 3: 16-17; 28:19).
God the father
We believe in God the Father, perfect in holiness, infinite in wisdom, power and love. We rejoice
that He concerns himself mercifully in the affairs of men and women, that He hears and answers
prayer, and that He saves from sin and death all who come to Him through Jesus Christ (Jn 16:23-27;
Gal 4:4-6; Eph 1:3; 17-23).
Jesus christ
We believe that Jesus Christ is God’s one and only Son, and has precisely the same nature,
attributes and perfections as God the Father and God the Holy Spirit. We believe further that He is
true God and true man, conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of a virgin. We also believe in: His
sinless life, His substitutionary atonement, His bodily resurrection from the dead, His ascension
into heaven, His priestly intercession on behalf of His people, and His personal, future, and
visible return to the world from heaven according to His promise (Matt 1:18-23, Lk 24:1-8; Jn
1:1,14; Acts 1:11; II Cor 5:19-21; I Tim 2:5; Heb 4:14-16; 7:24-25; I Jn 2:1; Rev. 19-20).
Holy spirit
We believe in the Holy Spirit who came forth from God to convict the world of guilt in regard to
sin, righteousness, and judgment, and to regenerate, sanctify, and comfort those who believe in
Jesus Christ. We believe that He indwells, baptizes, fills, heals physically, mentally and
spiritually, seals, guides, instructs, and gives spiritual gifts to those who believe (Matt 28:19;
Jn 16:8; Acts 1:8; 5:3-4; 1 Cor 6:11; 19; 12:4-13; Eph 1:13, 14; 3:16; 4:1-16).
Humanity
We believe that God created humanity, male and female, in the image of God and originally free from
sin. We further believe that all people are by nature, and by choice, sinners and therefore
spiritually dead. We believe that every human being is responsible to God alone in all matters of
faith (Gen 1:26-27; 2:7-3: 19; Rom 3:9-23; Eph 2:1-3).
Salvation
We believe that God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son that whoever believes in
Him should not perish but have eternal life. We believe, therefore, that those who accept Christ as
Lord and Savior will rejoice forever in God’s presence and those who refuse to accept Christ as
personal Lord and Savior will be forever separated from God. We further believe that this salvation
is based upon the sovereign grace of God, was purchased by Christ on the cross, and is received by
man through faith, apart from any human merit, works, or ritual. We further believe salvation
results in righteous living, good works, and proper social, moral, and ethical concerns as stated in
James 1:27 (Jn 1:12; 3:3-7, 16-18; 5:24; Eph 2:8-10).
The church
We believe that the church is the living spiritual body of which Christ is the head and of which all
regenerated people are members. We believe that a local church is a company of believers in Jesus
Christ, whose members have been baptized, upon a credible confession of faith, and have associated
themselves for worship, instruction, fellowship, evangelism, and service. God has laid upon the
church the task of proclaiming to a lost world the salvation through Jesus Christ as Lord and
Savior. We believe all human betterment is the result of the Gospel (Acts 2:41; 15:13-17; I Cor 12:
12-13).
Christian conduct
We believe that the supreme task of every believer is to glorify God in his or her life; that he or
she’s conduct should be blameless before the world; and should be a faithful steward of his and her
possessions and should seek to realize for one’s self Christ-like character (1 Cor 10:3 1; Col 1:28;
I Pet 1:14-15; Romans 12:1-2).
Last things
We believe in the bodily resurrection of the saved and lost, the eternal existence of all people
either in heaven or hell, in divine judgments, rewards and punishments (Jn 5:29; I Cor 3:11-15;
15:51-58; II Cor 5:6-10; I Thes 4: 13-18; II Jn 8; Rev 19-20).
