Please join us for Check In at the Attic which is located at the back of the church.

Join us Sunday afternoon for our 4:30 p.m. service to see some of the practices we’ll talk about in action—or to just sit back and enjoy a service free from your usual Sunday responsibilities.

We live in a culture. We want to engage it. How do we do so and keep our beliefs and reputations intact? How can we have influence with unchurched people without compromising relationships or our positions in the church? In this session, we’ll share some thoughts on managing the tensions created when we step out and engage our culture.

Tim Cooper has a passion for meeting unchurched people where they are and helping them find a growing relationship with Jesus. For five years, Tim was the Director of Starting Point at North Point Community Church, where he helped create environments for dynamic conversations about life and faith. Tim also led the Leader Training and Resources team for North Point Ministries, where he worked to develop and equip volunteer Community Group leaders so they could encourage others toward life-change. Currently he serves as the Director of Adult Ministry Environments at Browns Bridge Church where his strategic leadership, mentoring and staff development skills continually work to help build community through our adult ministry--like Women's and Men's groups, and Married and Singles groups.  He is also the NPM Director of Starting Point, contributing to the direction of the ministry across all six of North Point’s Atlanta-area churches as well as churches all over the world.

If the church is supposed to be a place that attracts people who are far from God, we have to give those people a safe and easy first step toward having meaningful conversations about faith. In this session, we’ll introduce you to principles that will help you create compelling next steps for those who are curious about God, new to faith, or returning to church after being away for a while.

We believe that much of what makes the average church so resistible are the very things the church must resist. In this session, you’ll get an actionable checklist of questions to be sure your church is attracting outsiders and energizing insiders, and you’ll hear about the one goal at the center of the target for us each Sunday.

Adam Johnson is the Lead Pastor at Browns Bridge Church in Cumming, Georgia. He has been a part of the North Point Ministries family for over 8 years. His wife, Kelly, is the Director of Women’s Groups at North Point and also the mother of their 4 boys, Roddic, Ryland, Jett, and Cashman. (So, if he falls asleep at any point you’ll know why.)

During this time you will have a chance to tour our environments or have extra discussion with NPM staffers.

Hear from key NPM staffers who lead the ministries that are trying to attract and engage—both in-person and online—the unchurched folks in our community. We’ll share some of the ways we cast vision for the volunteers on the frontline, and will answer your questions about managing the tensions that come with being a church for the unchurched.
