Our Story

Before there was a building, there was a house. Bridgeway Church of the Nazarene gathered right here—in a small home on Longwood Lake Mary Road under the leadership of Pastor Christopher. When God called Bridgeway and Sanford First Church of the Nazarene (founded in 1944) to merge, GracePointe was born. The house came down. And something new began to rise. This time-lapse captures that moment—when we made room for what God was about to do.

GracePointe isn't just a church in Lake Mary—we're a church for the region. Every Sunday, we gather for worship at 10:00 AM and 11:30 AM. Every Wednesday, our kids and youth come together at The Oasis. Throughout the week, Conversation Circles meet across homes and the church—studying Scripture, building community, and growing in faith. Our mission is simple: make and mature disciples of Jesus in Seminole County and beyond. The vision that started with a house church is now reaching neighborhoods, schools, and families across Central Florida. And we're just getting started.

We're not just growing—we're going. GracePointe is expanding our reach into Seminole County and beyond through community outreach, school supply giveaways, and partnerships with organizations like RAIN. We're multiplying Conversation Circles to raise up disciples who raise up disciples. We're developing leaders. We're baptizing believers. And we're dreaming about the day GracePointe becomes more than one location—bringing the gospel to new neighborhoods and new communities. The best is still ahead.
