Transformed by Jesus. Transforming Wichita.

WayPoint Church is a new church launching in Wichita in September 2026. We believe that Jesus transforms people, and that transformed people transform communities. Our mission is simple: help people encounter the living Jesus, grow in authentic community, and join God's mission in Wichita and beyond.

Whether you're exploring faith for the first time, returning to church after years away, or looking for a church family, WayPoint is a place where you can belong before you believe and grow at your own pace.

Our Story

WayPoint Church began with a simple conviction: more than 300,000 of our neighbors are a single heartbeat from the wrong side of eternity, and Jesus has called us to do something about it- right now.

Wichita desparately needs more gospel-centered communities where people can experience hope, healing, purpose, and transformation through Jesus Christ.

We are gathering a team of ordinary people who believe God wants to do something extraordinary in our city. Together, we are building a church that serves neighbors, loves families, invests in the next generation, and helps people take their next step with Jesus.

Our Pastor

Meet our pastor Jeremy (Jer) Arntz.

Jer’s own walk began where most of the people he’s called to reach still live: comfortable, accomplished, and missing something he couldn’t name. He held his firstborn daughter and felt “it” — the gap between everything he’d built and everything that actually mattered. He heard The Gospel of Jesus Christ given clearly and relevantly and it moved him from complacency to faith. He knows what keeps the comfortable heart from Christ because he was that heart.

Jer’s patience for comfortable complacency ended in the face of death’s sudden arrival standing beside his son at the graveside of a 19-year-old friend — gone, far too soon, and without warning. The gap between “someday” and “too late” closed in front of him. WayPoint Church is our answer to that.

-Our Beliefs-

The Bible

The Bible is God's Word, without error, and our guide for life.

Jesus Christ

Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God and only LORD & Savior of the world.

Salvation

Salvation is a freely given gift of God's grace received only through faith in Jesus Christ.

The Church

The Church is God's plan for bringing hope to the world.

-Our Values-

We Are Radically Welcoming

We are becoming people who make every person feel seen, valued, and pursued. When people encounter WayPoint they should feel important before they ever hear a sermon.

We Keep Others First

We are becoming people who consistently step out of our place in line and into our neighbor's need—whoever that neighbor is. We serve because Jesus served us first.

We Multiply On Purpose

We multiply our faith personally, invest it in others relationally, and trust Jesus to multiply WayPoint into new churches across Wichita.

We Steward Toward Eternity

We live like our neighbors are one heartbeat from eternity. That urgency shapes how we steward our time, our talents, and our treasures.
