Our Brief History
How we started.
CenterPoint began in 1945 as Provo Bible Church. In 1965, it became Evangelical Free Church, located in a quiet neighborhood on 400 E in Orem, across from Orem High School. Many years later, after experiencing a resurgence under Pastor Scott McKinney, the church was renamed CenterPoint and embarked on a challenging journey to relocate to a larger site at 1550 Sandhill Road to accommodate both current and future growth. In 2016, that nearly decade-long journey was completed.
In less than ten years, this vision has not only been fulfilled but surpassed, as the current campus now holds four services, welcoming over 2,000 people every weekend.

Where we're going.
With growth comes a question every generation of our faith family has faced: How do we keep making room for those in our valley who are searching for Jesus?
In this season, we believe the answer is to step forward with vision — opening doors, making space, and watching God transform hearts in the south end of our county, in the city of Payson, so that Jesus is made known there as well!

FAQ
Why are we starting a "campus" vs. "planting a separate church?"
Because we believe we can serve the Payson community more effectively by multiplying what God has already built here rather than starting everything from scratch.
Launching as one church in multiple locations allows the new campus to begin with strong leadership, healthy systems, proven ministry strategies, and shared resources already in place. Instead of spending years building infrastructure — staffing, governance, finances, and operational systems — we can focus immediately on what matters most: reaching people, making disciples, and building a healthy local church community.
A campus model allows us to move faster, steward resources wisely, and provide long-term stability — while still creating a distinct local community shaped by the people and needs of Payson.
In short, we are not sending something new — we are multiplying something healthy.

Why can't we add more services to our current facility for growth?
Technically we can. But the effectiveness is limited. CenterPoint meets a "Sunday morning" culture. We're utilizing every minute of Sunday morning already over 4 services.
Will the Payson campus be the same church as CenterPoint in Orem?
Yes — in the ways that matter most. The Payson campus will share the same mission, teaching, culture, and ministry philosophy as CenterPoint in Orem.
At the same time, it will have its own local leadership, community, and personality shaped by the people of Payson.
Same church. Same heartbeat. Lived out in a new place.

What will be the same — and what will be different — about the new campus?
The same warm atmosphere, although in a different facility. Yes, there will be a cafe serving coffee :) It will feature the same Sunday message (occasionally live and occasionally on video broadcast from Orem), live worship lead by CenterPoint bands you're used to with the same songs we currently sing; and its own dedicated staff including a full time Campus Pastor whose sole job is to shepherd the Payson campus community
Why are we looking to south Utah County to plant the new campus?
South County is already the residence of more than a third of our church (a staple for successful campus launches) but more importantly the mission field in this region is largely unmet.
When will we launch?
This is an unknown. But renovation has begun, and we are hoping Lord-willing to launch our first services sometime in the fall of 2026.
Will there be services for kids and youth similar to the Orem campus?
We plan to launch with CP Kids — our church experience for children that runs alongside adult services. Youth gatherings will be developed in the future.
Earlier this year, we intentionally moved our primary youth programming to Wednesday nights at our Orem campus. This allows students from Payson to participate midweek with the full community of our junior high and high school students.

How will my donation to the campus fund be used?
For the construction loan and any of the improvements made on renovating the future facility.
