Although RockPoint Church is an autonimous nondenominatoinal local church, we are affiliated with the following denominations/networks. Through these ministry partnerships we're able to do more than we could ever do alone! We are proud to be part of those who are doing the very best work in missional church planting, Christian education, bilingual and cross-cultural ministry, and global gospel work!
Converge Southwest
Converge Worldwide is a movement of churches working together to start and strengthen transformational churches worldwide. As a region of Converge Worldwide, Converge Southwest was made a tremendous contribution to the healthy and successful start of RockPoint Church! Converge helps assess and fund new church planters, as well as provide coaching through the early stages of the church plant process. Due largely to the rigorous assessment process and ongoing coaching, Converge church plants have an 89% success rate, much higher than the national average!

Bruce & Kim Sumner
Bruce earned his M.Div. at Talbot Theological Seminary and has been President and District Executive Minister of Converge SW since 2001. Under his leadership at CSW over 50 new churches have been successfully launched. Overseeing more than 100 churches and 400 ministry leaders throughout the region, he also serves on various leadership boards. Bruce is passionate about seeing the Kingdom of God expanded by multiplying transformational leaders and churches that are committed to connecting God's people with God's purposes.
Vision Texas
Vision Texas is a movement of new church starts in Texas, supported by Converge Southwest. We are excited about seeing God move more transformational leaders to launch new churches that effectively reach people far from God in the state of Texas! We meet multiple times a year with the other lead pastors on the team to help assess new potential planters, as well as discuss the future direction of Vision Texas. In addition to RockPoint, Vision Texas has churches in the N. Fort Worth area, Denton, McKinney, Prosper, Odessa, and Houston!
Texas Baptists
Texas Baptists (Baptist General Convention of Texas) have a long and distinguished history of gospel ministry in Texas and beyond.

Since its inception in 1886 the BGCT has been involved in not only missions and evangelism, but education and social ministries as well. Through the cooperative effort of like-minded Texas churches, the BGCT help start and continues to support seven hospitals, four children's homes, five homes for the elderly and six private universities, including Baylor University--the world's largest Baptist university.
