our mission
Our mission is to lead people into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ.
BELIEFS
Jesus is the only hope for a lost and broken world.
God uses the local church to change the world.
The Bible is a collection of books and letters inspired by God and written by men as God’s authoritative message to people.
Vision & values
We are a diverse and vibrant community of followers of Jesus Christ, committed to live by faith, to be known by love, and to be a voice of hope.
For too long the church has been known for what it's against.
We think it is time to be known for what it's FOR.
We are FOR New Tampa,
Wesley Chapel, Zephyrhills, Thonotosassa
and the surrounding areas.
#ForNewTampa
We welcome people from all walks of life,
regardless of where they are in their spiritual journey.
Mission is why the church exists - 2 Corinthians 5:17-19
Love is the context for all mission - 1 Corinthians 13:3
Relevance to culture is not optional - 1 Corinthians 9:22

History
Cypress Point Church began in a living room in Wesley Chapel, Florida where Pastor Dean's family and four other families gathered for the first time as CPC. As membership began to grow church services were moved to the former model center at Hunter's Green. When Muvico opened in New Tampa on Bruce B. Downs in 2001 the church began to meet in the theater.
Thirty acres of land was purchased near the corner of Cross Creek and Morris Bridge Road (New Tampa) in 2003. Construction began in 2006 on the first building. The first service was held there on Sunday, September 30, 2007.
Cypress Point is grateful to serve New Tampa, Wesley Chapel & Zephyrhills.
