Coming Spring 2025!

Founded in 2009, The Point serves Central Virginia through its three campuses in Charlottesville, Louisa, and Waynesboro, reaching, training, and multiplying disciples who Love God, Love People, and Love Life, while building a community that reflects God’s love.

Location: 105 Ridge Street, Charlottesville, VA 22902

Founded in 1867, Mt. Zion's First African Baptist Church completed this building in 1889. Although the congregation has since moved to a new location, their enduring faith laid the foundation for a resilient and vibrant spiritual community. Looking ahead, The Point seeks to honor this rich history by fostering an inclusive and united community devoted to the same God who has sustained generations before them.

Adam Coleman

He holds a Master’s in Social Work from Virginia Commonwealth University, specializing in mental health, community organization, and public advocacy. Over the years, Adam has built a diverse career that includes youth and family therapy, serving our nation’s veterans, and leading community initiatives. Currently, he serves as a Local Missions Pastor for The Point, where he combines his passion for public service with a heart for helping others pursue truth.

In his early adulthood, Adam experienced a crisis of faith that revealed the profound value of Christian apologetics in strengthening belief and deepening trust in God.

As a Christian apologist, Adam is passionate about equipping believers with evidence for their faith and critical thinking tools to engage with today’s culture. Through his blog writings, social media presence, public speaking, and contributions to works like Urban Apologetics: Restoring Black Dignity With the Gospel, Adam seeks to educate Christians in understanding what they believe, why they believe it, and how to effectively communicate God’s truth to others.
