Set the Pace

Marcus Pointe Church Family,

Several years ago, God impressed upon my heart the need to expand our Gospel outreach and discipleship through strategically located campuses, rather than having everyone attend one campus on North W Street. I felt led by God to go where people live throughout Escambia and Santa Rosa Counties. Marcus Pointe North Pace is one of those strategically located campuses. Hundreds of new families are moving into the northwest part of Santa Rosa County, and God has blessed us with 40 acres in a prime location on Chumuckla Highway. We are now excited to develop that property into a worship center, adult group space, student space, children’s space, coffee shop, and state-of-the-art preschool that can serve over 200 families.

All we need now is for you to be a part of the vision to reach Santa Rosa County! Would you pray and commit to a sacrificial financial gift that will help build this campus to reach and minister to people? Your commitment will help us move forward in this life-changing project!

Thank you in advance for praying and committing to make this vision to reach people a reality.

Dear Marcus Pointe,

It is an honor and privilege to serve you as the pastor of our Marcus Pointe Baptist Church North Pace Campus. I cannot express how enthusiastic I am about what God is doing at our campus and how expectant I am for what He will do through the building of our new church home.

We are creating a place where men and women from all walks of life can come to experience the life-saving and life-changing power of the Gospel. We are laying the groundwork for our children to come and learn just how loved and special they are as part of God’s family. We are fashioning a future where God is glorified, and Christ is magnified.

You have the opportunity to play a pivotal role in ensuring we have a place to worship God and grow as followers of Jesus. Remember, your financial commitment is not just for those who already call the North Pace Campus their faith family. It is for the hundreds and thousands yet to call Marcus Pointe home.

Thank you for partnering with us. We cannot do this without you, and that’s the beautiful thing about this campaign and our awesome Marcus Pointe Baptist Church—we get to do this together.

I read a book about Christian community and realized we were missing that aspect in our lives. It was a priority for us to find a church that would be our village and walk alongside us in all aspects of life. Marcus Pointe - North Pace has been that place for us. God brought people along to encourage us and love on our family as we grow in connection with God.

The Garvin Family

We have been looking for a church home. Somewhere we could raise our daughter with a church family. We have been welcomed with

open arms. The praise and worship team is amazing, often bringing me to tears. The message is right on point with our values and beliefs.

My husband and I are growing in our faith together and are fully encouraged and excited about this, especially since finding Marcus Pointe - North Pace.

The Gott Family

We want to express our extreme gratitude for the support and love we receive At Marcus Pointe - North Pace. Marcus Pointe has provided our family with a place to feel supported not only in our faith but in life. We have gained a community with like-minded people and it has been such a

blessing. We truly feel the Lord constantly moving in our lives, all thanks to Marcus Pointe.
