NorthPointe Community Church

What NorthPointe Community Church does

NorthPointe Community Church is a non-profit Christian congregation founded in 1988 in Fresno, California, operating four physical campuses (Milburn, Kerman, Bullard, plus a dedicated Español service) and an online streaming option. Under Senior Pastor Shane Ham and Executive Pastor Ronnie McDougall, the church serves a broad congregational base through approximately 14 specialized ministries spanning children (NP Kids), students, young adults, recovery (Celebrate Recovery), disability inclusion (Limitless), marriage support, and community assistance (Enough — food and clothing). Pastoral teaching is delivered in-person across campuses and extended digitally via YouTube and podcasts on Spotify and Apple Podcasts.

The organization funds operations through voluntary tithes and offerings from members, designated building-fund contributions, and event/program fees — a contribution-based revenue model with no transactional pricing. There is no proprietary technology platform; the church's stack consists of a conventional website, online giving tools, and the third-party CarePortal platform for coordinating community crisis response. Partnerships with Woodleaf Camp, Bible Study Fellowship, and Origin Coffee extend programming beyond the church's own facilities.

Strategically, NorthPointe has prioritized multi-site geographic expansion within the Fresno region, the addition of language-specific services (Español), and the development of niche ministry verticals such as the Limitless disability program. The organization employs 49 people, indicating a mid-sized multi-campus operation rather than a megachurch; specific attendance, donor counts, and financial figures are not publicly disclosed, limiting external triangulation of scale.
