CrossPointe Community Church is part of a larger story. The Rockpointe story begins in 1968. It started at Margaret Black Elementary School. Then it moved to a modest structure on Plumbrook Avenue. The early years of Sterling Heights Assembly of God were filled with prayer. There was worship and devotion to God’s Word.
After more than a decade, the growing church purchased land on Utica Road. This was next door to Rammler Golf Course. In April 1982, they broke ground on their new building. Pastor Leo Tomko led with high hopes for the future.
Construction took about a year. The community continued to meet on Plumbrook during this time. They carved out spaces for Sunday School classes. They waited patiently and prayerfully for the new building to be completed.
That day finally arrived on March 13, 1983. Pastor Tomko celebrated with a formal ribbon-cutting ceremony. He reminded the community of God’s enduring faithfulness. This faithfulness had been present throughout the church’s 15 years together.
The next decade saw a surge of growth. This was especially true among the church’s young people. A ministry called Genesis formed to disciple and mentor the youth. Out of Genesis grew many healthy trends. These trends included a passion to reach the lost. This was done through both domestic and international missions.
In 1995, under Pastor Randy Tomko, the church changed its name to Rockpointe Community Church. The change represented the church’s desire to welcome those seeking Jesus. It did not matter what their church background was.
“Rockpointe” comes directly from scripture. Jesus tells the disciples that upon this “rock” He will build His church. The “pointe” represents that point in a person’s life. This is where the choice is made to follow Christ.
During those early Rockpointe years, the church adopted the identity of “a creative community founded upon Jesus Christ.” Through drama and culturally relevant music, Rockpointe created engaging Sunday services.
Through another decade of ministry, Rockpointe focused on building the community of faith. This was done through small groups and ministry opportunities. Church picnics and special children’s events like Vacation Bible School were also held.
The church community continued to grow. The 1983 building was no longer sufficient. In 2004, the Rockpointe community embarked on a building expansion. They added valuable gathering space. They also overhauled the children’s education area.
The church celebrated the groundbreaking by pounding stakes into the area over which construction would take place. Written on the stakes were not only family names. The names of those they hoped would come to know Christ were also written. The stakes were incorporated into an art piece that graces the Sanctuary today.
The renovated space allowed for numerous ministry initiatives to launch and grow. These include a recovery ministry and expanded seating for Sunday services. Handprints Christian Early Learning Center is Rockpointe’s daycare and preschool. It ministers to nearly a hundred families every year.
True to its roots, Rockpointe pursues missions. They form strategic partnerships around the world. These partnerships have included ministries and organizations in many places.
In 2018, Rockpointe celebrated its 50th anniversary. From a quiet start in an elementary school gym to its current setting, the church community has endeavored to give God the glory.
During the 2020s global pandemic, the church expanded its Pantry ministry. This supported countless families that experienced COVID-related economic hardships. Detroit Bible Institute celebrated 10 years at its Rockpointe home in 2022. Rockpointe is proud to be the home of Handprints Christian Early Learning Center.
