Highpoint Church

What Highpoint Church does

Highpoint Church is a multi-site, multi-language Christian religious organization founded in 2000 by Senior Pastor Ron Zappia and his wife Jody Zappia, headquartered in Naperville, Illinois. The church operates four physical campuses across the Chicago metropolitan area and western Illinois — Naperville, Wheaton, North Aurora, and Monmouth — and delivers services in four languages: English, Spanish (Highpoint en Español), Korean (하이포인트한인교회), and Russian. It serves individuals and families seeking Christian worship, Biblical teaching, discipleship, and community, with dedicated ministry tracks for children (nursery through 5th grade), students, young adults, men, women, seniors, and individuals facing personal struggles.

The church's product portfolio centers on weekly Sunday worship services supplemented by an integrated digital infrastructure: a custom mobile application on iOS and Android, a live streaming platform at live.highpoint.church, and TouchPoint Church Management Software powering online and recurring giving (78% of the congregation gives online). Beyond worship services, Highpoint operates a portfolio of 14+ ancillary ministries including Growth Groups (small-group discipleship), Summerfest (children's day camp), Winter and Summer Camps (student retreats), Men's and Women's Conferences, a Hope Group support ministry, Highpoint Cares food assistance, Senior Care pastoral outreach, Highpoint Global missions, Highpoint SEND pastor training, a 10-week paid college internship, and a separate Toddlers Campus early-education program.

Highpoint's revenue model is that of a nonprofit religious organization funded almost entirely by voluntary tithes and offerings from its congregation. Giving is tax-deductible and accepted through multiple channels: online, mobile app, in-person, mail, and non-cash assets including stock, real estate, and cryptocurrency. The church is independently governed under pastoral leadership with no parent company, external investors, or institutional ownership. Its go-to-market is community-driven: Growth Groups, serve teams, seasonal events, and digital content (YouTube's Highpoint Collective channel, Facebook, Instagram) drive attendance and donor acquisition across its regional footprint.
