ABOUT THE CHURCH

Since we first planted the church in 2000 while meeting in a local high school auditorium, it’s been incredible to see how God has grown his local church in both number and in depth! Launching with just a couple of hundred people and a vision to reach many with the Gospel, today we worship across 4 locations in Illinois in four different languages (English, Russian, Korean, & Spanish), including Naperville, Wheaton, North Aurora, Monmouth, and Online. At Highpoint, we are a simple, gospel-centered church.

We worship each weekend and encourage everyone to get into a growth group during the week. Our ultimate desire is to help people BELIEVE in, BELONG to, and BECOME more like Jesus. Walk in his strength,

Ron Zappia
