Pastors
Craig and Patti

Craig and Patti Wendel have been in full-time ministry since 1993.  Their work has included youth, missions, executive and administration.  It seems as though God was preparing them all along to plant a church.  

One of Craig's passions in life is sharing the genuine gospel message in a fun and humorous way.  He inspires life-change through his Sunday talks and his everyday, walking around life.  Patti enjoys life at home with Sierra (12), Phoebe (9) and Noah (6), while also leading the administration of SouthPoint.

 

 

Associate Pastors
Craig and Vina

On launch Sunday in 2007, a beautiful couple graced SouthPoint with their presence for the first time.  She came because the graphics were intriguing.   He came because he was looking for a new way to do church.  They found it.  Craig (aka "OC " - the other Craig) and Vina Howell jumped headlong into what God was doing at SouthPoint.  They brought with them enormous talent and abilities, but more importantly, a heart for the true and living God - the God who wants all men to serve and be served together.  Their beautiful family is completed (so far) by Gia (6) and Phoebe (4).  OC heads up our Connection Groups and is part of the teaching team, and Vina currently heads up our graphic arts department.

 

 

 

Music Pastor
Jonathan Gardner

Music has alway been an integral part of the SouthPoint Sunday morning experience.   We believe that our every-day, walking-around lives are filled with music, so why should our Church life be any different.  

On Sunday, August 29th, we took our music to a whole 'nother level by bringing Jonathan Gardner onboard. Jonathan has played and worshipped with us for a while as a band member and leading our First Wednesday worship set.  But now he and his wife Beth, and their beautiful son Kaden, have joined the SouthPoint staff  and will be vital to the next step that God has for us.  We are so excited that they have come to be part of our family.
