Already at work

Serving Gulfport, already.

This is not a plan on paper. Waypoint’s Here to Serve team is already in Gulfport’s schools, honoring teachers with a served lunch, prayer, and presence. This is the church we are inviting you to help relaunch.

Health & Hope Seminar

September 26, 2026

Caring for the whole person.

Waypoint opened its doors to the community for a free health seminar led by local healthcare professionals. Nurses, counselors, and physicians taught on diabetes, mental health, and suicide prevention, and neighbors stayed afterward for food and conversation. Because guiding people to Christ means caring about their bodies and their minds, not just their Sundays.

Five healthcare professionals gave their Saturday to serve Gulfport. We honored every one of them.

This relaunch is carried by a covering, coaches, and companions.
