OUR VISION
Turning Point Apostolic Church strives to be a place of refuge, healing, and restoration—a place where marriages are restored and families brought back together. We believe the love of God can work in every heart, regardless of background. God's love has transformed our lives, and we see Him doing the same for others. We are an exciting and growing church located in the heart of downtown Ellettsville. People just like you make Turning Point a wonderful place to gather, find community, and worship freely. We would love for you to join us in person this Sunday.
OUR MISSION
Here at Turning Point, our mission is to make disciples of Jesus Christ, locally and globally. We want to set an atmosphere for you to be able to come as you are, serve, grow, and worship together with other believers just like you. We want to see family revival, and we want to see your family grow and develop a walk in the lord. We believe that being a united body and serving side by side for the purpose of furthering God’s work is the ultimate calling. The church is called to be a light to the world, and in the process, our lights brighten the lives of fellow followers too.
OUR HISTORY
Turning Point Apostolic Church, originally named Ellettsville United Pentecostal Church, was founded and built by Rev. Doyle Cain. The first service was held on March 20, 1960. Rev. Cain was the Pastor until June of 1964. On June 28, 1964, the church voted to elect Rev. L.D. Axsom as the new Pastor.
In 1965, the church added on a new second story, which added classrooms and office space. In 1988, the church went through an extensive remodel including turning the sanctuary completely around. Rev. Axsom served as Pastor and Co-pastor until his retirement on January 25, 1998.
On June 30, 1995, Rev. Ron Hawkins was unanimously elected to be the Co-pastor alongside Rev. Axsom. On January 25, 1998, Rev. Axsom retired, and Rev. Hawkins became the full-time Pastor of Turning Point Apostolic Church. Pastor Hawkins had his installation service on March 15, 1998. Rev. Ron Hawkins, and wife Cindy Hawkins, have three adult children who are all serving in the ministry. On October 31, 2004, the church broke ground on a new building that attached to the original building.
The new space added a new sanctuary, office, sound room, nursery, restrooms and entry way. The first service was held in the new sanctuary on October 9, 2005. At which time, the name was changed to Turning Point Apostolic Church. The current church has grown tremendously, and we are looking forward to another bigger facility in the foreseeable future.
OUR BELIEFS
Turning Point is a Bible based church. What that means is we seek to believe and practice what is taught in the Bible. We believe and teach that there is only one God. That God has revealed Himself to us as our Father, in His Son Jesus Christ, and through the Holy Spirit. Jesus Christ is the Son of God, that is, the One God manifested in and through an authentic human life. The fullness of the godhead dwells in Jesus bodily. To see Jesus is to see God. We teach that the gospel is the good news that Jesus lived a perfect life, died for our sins, was buried, and rose again three days later. We express our belief in the gospel through our obedience to the gospel. We obey the gospel and apply it to our lives by repenting of our sins (death to sin), being baptized in water in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of our sins (burial) and receiving the gift of the Holy Spirit (resurrection) with the initial evidence of speaking in other tongues.
