About Be The Church

Who We Are

Be The Church, a ministry of Chapel Pointe, is a toolbox of resources addressing the crisis in spiritual leadership facing the American church. With 80-85% of churches in the U.S. plateaued or declining, there is a critical need for healthy spiritual leaders who can drive gospel-centered transformation. We believe that gospel movements begin with leaders who are transformed to be more like Christ, sparking a wave of revitalization in their churches.

Our ministry partners with both new and established leaders to serve local churches, providing the guidance needed for clear direction, courageous decision-making, and sustainable growth. Acting as a catalytic spark through deep relationships, we offer cohorts, one-day summits, and resources to guide each church’s unique challenges and craft tailored plans for alignment and revitalization.

Our Values

UNWAVERING COMMITMENT TO THE GOSPEL

  • Gospel message: The gospel to be central in all things.
    The good news of what God has done through Jesus Christ to redeem humanity is the CENTRAL aim of a healthy church. The gospel is the source of salvation for humanity. It is also what sustains the work of ministry for all believers. We never move beyond our need of the gospel and because of that reality, we desire to see all people transformed by the gospel.
  • Gospel mandate: Disciples advancing the gospel at all costs.
    The mandate given to the followers of Jesus is to GO and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Healthy churches will leverage all their resources to making disciples of Jesus Christ by building discipleship strategies.
  • Gospel multiplication: Gospel-centered communities multiply.
    The gospel is the source of salvation and what sustains a disciple-making movement. We desire to build sustainable and scalable structures that give rise to a movement of churches and leaders that make disciples and advance the kingdom in every corner of this world. A multiplication mindset is essential in helping reach communities, cities, and the world with the gospel.
