Our Mission:

To pastor the Metroplex and evangelize the world.

Acts 1:8  But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria and to the end of the earth.

In 1999 Pastor Gary and April Simons were given a mandate by God to come to Arlington, Texas to begin a work that would have world wide impact.  With a humble beginning of 16 people in a living room, there was nothing in the natural that would give any indication of what was to come. 

Now almost seven years later, “Jerusalem” has been established in Arlington, Texas in a 423,000 square foot facility and “Judea” – the Metroplex is being reached through over 400 small groups called TouchPoints which are located throughout the Metroplex. 

From the inception of the church, God made it clear that High Point Church was called to the nations of the world and now Samaria and the ends of the earth are coming into focus.  Meetings with pastors in Central America, Europe and soon India and Africa are laying the foundation for an Association of Churches that will impact the world for Jesus.

Our Statement of Faith:

We believe:

• That the Bible is the inspired, infallible and authoritative written Word of God

• That there is one God, eternally existent in three persons:  Father, Son and the Holy Spirit

• In the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, His virgin birth, sinless life, miracles, substitutionary and atoning death, bodily resurrection, ascension to the right hand of the Father, and personal return in power and glory

• That regeneration by the Holy Spirit is essential for personal salvation, that the only means of being cleansed from sin is through repentance and faith in the shed blood of Christ and that by God’s grace through faith alone we are saved

• In the resurrection of both the saved and the lost, one to everlasting life and the other to everlasting damnation

• The baptism with the Holy Spirit according to Acts 2:4 is given to believers who ask for it.

• The sanctifying power of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a Holy life

• In the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ
