Cross Pointe Church is a thriving community of Christ-followers in north metro Atlanta, Georgia. We have three campuses in Duluth, Flowery Branch and Buford/Lake Lanier. We are committed to teaching and living the Truth found in the Bible as we worship, pray, share the Gospel of Jesus Christ, care for one another and serve our community, nation and world.
