I can remember the day very vividly. I was sixteen and it was my a junior at Trinity Christian High School and I drove a 1998 green Ford Ranger. I walked through the rear entrance of the Science Spectrum and quickly turned right into the large exhibit room. At the front of the room there was a stage that had been erected holding several musical instruments waiting for a band to begin playing. Flowing from the left and right of the stage large white curtains were raised to the ceiling spaced about two feet apart each. On two of theses curtains (one on each side of the stage) the logo of Turning Point Community Church was being broadcast by beams of light. As I made my way through the rows of chairs to the front of the sanctuary the air of excitement could be felt as several people busied themselves, getting ready for the beginning a celebration that is the climax of months of preparation. As the group of near fifteen made a circle each taking a short moment to ask for the blessing of the Lord on a church. Not a building, for we had none of our own, not an organization for it was much more than that, but a community but one question still remained in our hearts and minds, who will take part in this community? That morning two hundred people chose to be a part of our community.

Sunday, I had the privilege once again into a building that our community occupies. Once again, stage erected. Once again, instruments waiting. Once again, curtains hung. And once again, the feeling of excitement in the air. On Sunday July, 22nd 2007 at the intersection of 114th St. and Quaker, Turning Point Community Church, itself, achieved a turning point, when six hundred people entered a building but it was not the building that was the church but those who occupied it. The same community that had occupied the science spectrum four and a half years previous had now grown but the community of our church remained, not in a rented or temporarily occupied space but one we could finally call our own. One we could finally call home. Welcome Home Turning Point Community Church.
