North Point Church

Are you aware of North Point Church Nixa’s Student Give Back Program?

The idea is centered on the belief when you partner students with caring adults through creating moments when meeting small practical needs, you help bridge the gap of isolation and ultimately help lower anxiety and depression symptoms in our area teens.

Learn more about the opportunities with North Point Church by visiting their website and stay in touch with what’s happening by visiting the North Point Church Nixa’s Facebook page.
