Our Story

HighPoint began as a dream between two friends who wanted to see God do something great in Central Florida. Former Orlando Magic players Andrew DeClercq and Keith Tower, along with their wives, founded HighPoint Church in 2005 from a dynamic bible study in Andrew’s home. With a small committed group of founding members and a desire to build the kind of church that brought a real and relatable message in a casual and friendly atmosphere, the team began weekly meetings in downtown Orlando. As people connected with the refreshing mission of “Real Faith. Real Life.”, HighPoint quickly outgrew the downtown location and moved to it’s current home on West Colonial.

HighPoint is a rapidly growing, ethnically diverse community of people excited about our city experiencing the transformative power of Jesus Christ in a warm and relaxed setting. We are serious about God, but don’t take ourselves too seriously. We remain as passionate as ever about “REAL FAITH. REAL LIFE.”

We have a burning desire to see people connect with God in a real and deep way. This passion will guide us into a future that sees us loving and serving our community, impacting men, women and children with the love of Christ, and planting new churches across our area and throughout the Caribbean. And we’ll continue enjoying the journey together every step of the way.
