Grace Point Church

What Grace Point Church does

Grace Point Church is an evangelical non-profit religious organization headquartered at 1201 NE McCollum Dr in Bentonville, Arkansas, serving the Northwest Arkansas community. Founded in 2001, the church operates two Sunday worship services at 9:10 AM and 10:45 AM and runs an integrated ministry portfolio organized around the mission of "Know God, Love People, Live Sent." The organization maintains three distinct sub-brands: Kindle, a licensed preschool program for children three months through pre-kindergarten operating Monday through Thursday with monthly tuition; HopeNWA, a local outreach ministry serving vulnerable populations and foster families; and HopeGlobal, the church's international missions arm coordinating partnerships in Japan, Guatemala, Greece, and Zambia.

The church's core programmatic offerings include a Discipleship Pathway video series, Community Groups meeting throughout Northwest Arkansas, Equipping Classes, an archived Sermon Series library, and a Small Group Leader Training series. Digital infrastructure supports online worship streaming via YouTube and Spotify podcast, online giving through the Church Center platform, text-to-give (shortcode 84321), and event registration. Discipleship content is integrated with free courses provided through a Dallas Theological Seminary partnership.

Grace Point Church operates as a donation-funded non-profit, with primary revenue derived from voluntary tithes and offerings, supplemented by recurring preschool tuition from Kindle. The organization holds accreditation from the Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability (ECFA), signaling adherence to financial accountability and stewardship standards. The church is led by Lead Pastor Mike McDaniel and Executive Pastor Eric King, with a broader pastoral team covering worship, teaching, and discipleship functions. There is no parent organization, external institutional ownership, or disclosed funding rounds; the entity is private and governed locally by its leadership and elder board.
