Local Missions
Local Missions at The Point
We take seriously our role in sharing the Gospel here in our community. In every neighborhood and across every street, there are people that need to hear about Jesus in Hernando and Desoto County as much as the lost around the world. And we have lots of opportunities for you to plug in and find your place!
