PURSUING JESUS TOGETHER >>>

Together we are a church family. That means when we are together in fellowship we grow closer to God and one another. The Bible speaks about iron sharpening iron so only together will we grow stronger. 

 

God blesses the church that gets outside of itself. Jesus calls for us to go outside the walls of our building to reach the lost and the broken. We are making an effort to be like the church from the book of Acts, to see our neighborhood and world changed.

WHO WE ARE

A Multi-Cultural Church in San Jose

>>>

Welcome to The Point Church in San Jose, CA

Text...The Point Church is a welcoming, multi-generational Christian church located in the beautiful Evergreen neighborhood of San Jose, California. We are a uniquely diverse faith community, proudly offering five simultaneous Sunday worship services every week at 10:30 AM in five different languages: English, Spanish (Español), Mandarin (普通话), Cantonese (廣東話), and Cambodian (ភាសាខ្មែរ). Whether you have young kids (KidsPoint), teenagers (Student Ministry), or are a young adult looking for connection, there is a community tailored just for you here. Join us this week for upbeat contemporary worship, practical Biblical teaching, and mid-week small groups. We exist to help you start your day with God, discover your purpose, and build lifelong friendships. All are welcome—come exactly as you are!

A Multi-Lingual Church Family in the South Bay

Finding an authentic spiritual home in the fast-paced environment of Silicon Valley can be challenging. At The Point Church, we have intentionally designed a space that reflects the rich cultural tapestry of San Jose and the greater South Bay area. Nestled in the heart of the Evergreen community, our campus serves as a gathering place for people from all walks of life, diverse cultural backgrounds, and multiple generations.

What truly sets The Point Church apart is our commitment to unity through our diversity. Every Sunday morning at 10:30 AM, our campus comes alive with five simultaneous worship services. We believe that everyone should be able to hear the life-changing message of the Gospel and worship God in their own heart language. Rather than dividing our community, these simultaneous services allow us to remain one church family that meets under one roof, sharing the same mission while honoring our unique heritages. Each individual service features its own dedicated pastoral leadership, live worship music, and a tailored message, ensuring an authentic and culturally relevant experience for everyone who walks through our doors.

Dynamic Ministries for Every Generation

We recognize that faith is a lifelong journey that looks different at every stage of life. That is why The Point Church is deeply invested in providing robust, engaging, and safe environments for children, youth, and young adults to grow spiritually.

KidsPoint (Children’s Ministry): For families with young children, KidsPoint offers a secure, high-energy environment during the 10:30 AM service where kids can learn about God's love on their own level. Our background-checked volunteers lead children through creative Bible lessons, interactive games, and memorable crafts.

Student Ministry (Middle & High School): Our Student Ministry is designed specifically to help teenagers navigate the unique challenges of middle school and high school. We provide a space where youth can ask tough questions, build healthy peer relationships, and develop a lasting faith of their own. All children and youth programming is conducted in English to bring the next generation together.

Young Adults & Small Groups: For college students and young professionals navigating life in San Jose, our Young Adult Ministry and network of mid-week Small Groups offer a place to slow down, connect, and find mentorship. These small groups meet in homes throughout the Evergreen area, providing the perfect environment for deep conversations and building lifelong friendships.

What to Expect on Your First Sunday

If you are visiting The Point Church for the first time, you can expect a warm greeting from our welcome team and a relaxed atmosphere. Our campus at 3695 Rose Terrasse Cir features ample parking, making it easy for you and your family to arrive stress-free.

We invite you to come exactly as you are—there is no formal dress code here. Whether you prefer a suit, business casual, or jeans and a t-shirt, you will fit right in. Our gatherings are centered around two core elements: upbeat, contemporary worship music that clears the distractions of the week, and practical, truth-filled Biblical teaching that applies directly to your daily life.

Join Our Community This Week

Starting each week off together with our church family, having God’s Spirit and Word in our heart, receiving the encouragement and inspiration of genuine friends, and experiencing God shaping our heart… all makes for a fantastic week in San Jose!

Our church family is as diverse as the neighborhood and we’re all here for the same reason: LOVE

Choose to join any of our 4 other language groups (in addition to English) all at the same time, 10:30 AM on Sundays. Each has their own pastor, music, and auditorium. All our children meet together in English, as do our students. Our church’s leadership team is represented equally by every group and we operate with a combined budget

Serving the San Jose Community Since 1907

Our church has been ministering to the people of San Jose since 1907.

 

Our first meetings took place in a tent before we started renting a hall at 84 W. Santa Clara St.

In 1908 we began renting the First Presbyterian Church on 48 N. 3rd Street, newly rebuilt after the 1906 earthquake. By 1910 we had our own space at 26 S 3rd. St. 

The Point Church San Jose CAIn 1922 we purchased a church on 4th and Williams St for $4,000 and then sold it in 1928 and we were able to build this church on 21st Street & San Fernando Streets in downtown San Jose

Interesting Trivia: As the Great Depression began, and families suffered destitution, the ladies in the church, with meager means but great faith, started ministering to the community by feeding hundreds of children in the church basement during their school lunch hour. This ministry is credited in the history of California as the start of the public school free lunch program.
  

The Point Church San Jose CAIn 1955 we bought 4 lots on the corner of Cragmont and Alum Rock Ave for $15,500 for future expansion. In 1962 the congregation relocated to 4801 Alum Rock Avenue.

In 1988, recent convert and member, Ramona Stocking, left the church 7 acres on N. Capital and Mabury, upon her passing. The property had served as Stocking Rose Gardens for 67 years and is renown for creating the famous Peace rose.

We had hoped to build a larger building there to accommodate the growing congregation, but when the city did not approve of that plan, we waited for God to act

In 2002 we traded that property for a 51 acre property in Evergreen where we could build. We sold 41 acres to developers and with the money, built our current facility.

In September of 2022, during the State of the City, the mayor of San Jose honored us by saying, “The Point Church has served the San José community for over 100 years. We are incredibly grateful for your leadership, partnership and commitment to helping meet the needs of vulnerable communities through donations, volunteerism, and advocacy.”
