Welcome to The Point Community Center

Since opening in 2009 in partnership with Centerpoint Church, The Point Community Center has been a vibrant hub for outreach, connection, and growth in the greater Kalamazoo area. Our mission is to foster physical, social, emotional, and spiritual well-being through dynamic programming and partnerships with local initiatives.

Our 24,000-square-foot facility is designed to serve everyone in the community. It features a full gymnasium with basketball and volleyball courts, a modern fitness center, a concessions stand with a cozy coffee bar, cold drinks, and snacks. Weekly activities include open gym sessions for basketball and pickleball, Toddler Time for little ones, and opportunities to meet with a fitness trainer specializing in sports injury therapy.

 

We’re excited to offer unique programs like RISE Together, a welcoming space for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities to experience a supportive, loving community centered around building friendships, growing in faith, and enjoying delicious food.

RISE Together is offered in 7- to 8-week sessions, four times a year. Our Spring series, RISE Together: New Beginnings, starts April 16 and runs through June 4, 2025.  Join us on Wednesdays from 4-7 PM for dinner and fun activities!  There is no cost to attend, but registration is required for all participants.

And now, The Point is home to Kalamazoo Academy for Behavioral & Academic Success (KABAS), a private year-round elementary school serving children in grades K-6 with diverse learning needs.

At The Point, everyone should have access to a welcoming space for growth and connection. That’s why we operate on a donation-based model—ensuring entry is free while inviting those able to give to support our mission and ministry work.

Whether you’re here to play, learn, grow, or give, The Point Community Center is where you belong. Welcome!

Upwards Sports Youth Basketball Ministry Program 2025

We had a fantastic 2025 Winter season with over 160 players and 18 teams. This was a massive upswing from our first year last year, of 48 players and eight teams. The Point Community Center Staff worked hard organizing, hosting, and overseeing all practices, games, and our fantastic Celebration Night. The coaches, referees, and all other volunteers and helpers did an excellent job. A great shout-out to all the parents, many of whom stepped up when there was a call for help.

Summer league starts June 14 and the week of 6/17/25.  Games will be held 7/12, 7/19, 8/2, 8/9, and 8/16.

Please register by June 14 for $125 ($135 after June 15).
