HighPoint Church is a Family Oriented, Multi-cultural, Bible based church that is large enough to serve the needs of your family and small enough to know who you are. 

We Believe...

...in one God, revealed as Father, Son and Holy Spirit

...that the Bible is the inspired, infallible, and authoritative word of God that provides all of the necessary guidelines for Salvation, and the means for living an overcoming and victorious life.

...that each person can and should have a personal relationship with God.

...that if we repent (ask God to forgive us and change our direction), He will forgive us of any sins that we have committed

...that all of God's people should be baptized in water subsequent to conversion. While we embrace those of contrary opinion, we feel that this rite is spiritually administered "in the name of the Lord Jesus"

...that the baptism of the Holy Spirit is a promise to each of us as believers. This spirit lives in all believers, helping us to conform to the image of Jesus Christ

...that God hears and answers prayer, therefore we offer prayer for the sick as the Bible teaches. (James 5:14-15)

...in true worship from the heart. Our worship services offer a blend of contemporary and traditional worship music combined with state-of-the-art video to provide a complete worship experience.

  HighPoint Church of Brandon was founded as First Pentecostal Church in 1973. The members met for their first service at the one-room Bloomingdale Civic Center, at the corner of Bloomingdale Ave. and Lithia-Pinecrest Rd. Within a year, under the leadership of Pastor Frank Goldsberry, a piece of property at the current location at 2207 Lithia-Pinecrest Rd. was purchased. Soon after that the first of a three phase building project  was completed. As the church grew, the second phase was completed. This included a beautiful fellowship hall, a commercial kitchen, and  a full basement (yes a basement in Florida).

  This was the home of Brandon Christian Academy for several years. During that time many lives were touched.(both students and parents) Although the school is no longer operating, lives continue to be touched as a result of Brandon Christian Academy's ministry, since many of these students are now working in various ministries across the country. 

  This portion of the church is now being utilized as Sunday School rooms and an activity center for the youth department.

   As we grow, we look forward to building our third phase that would include a new sanctuary, additional Sunday School rooms and office space. 

  In October of 2005, the name of the church was officially changed from First Pentecostal Church of Brandon to HighPoint Church of Brandon. At that time Reverend Loran Mejean also took over as our new pastor. As a result, our founding pastor, Reverend Frank Goldsberry moved from the position of pastor to the position of bishop.

   We continue to celebrate our pentecostal heritage as well as welcoming in a new era of blessings and growth as we move forward for the Kingdom.
