About Cedar Point Church

We are a church family in Nashua, Iowa, committed to helping people know Jesus, grow in faith, and live out His love in our community and beyond.

Our Mission

To point people into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ, no matter where they are in that relationship.

Our Vision

To be a church that transforms families, our community, and the world for Jesus Christ.

Our Church

The church is not just a place we go. The church is God’s people living out the love of Jesus every day.

A church for Nashua and beyond.

Cedar Point began after Pastor Darin and his family returned to Iowa with a desire to help start a new church in northeast Iowa. After months of prayer and conversation, it became clear that Nashua was the place to begin.

In 2009, families began praying about joining the work. By July 2010, Cedar Point Church launched with a heart to see Nashua and the surrounding communities transformed by Christ.

We do not want to simply be the best church in the community. We want to be a church for the community.

Vision & Values

Our vision and core values help keep us focused on what God has called us to as a church.

God-directed Lives

Missional Living

We live out the Great Commission at home, in our neighborhoods, and around the globe.

Leadership

Rooted in Nashua. Focused on Jesus.

Pastor Darin grew up in Nashua and loves living here. After years in construction, God led him into pastoral ministry and eventually back to Nashua with a heart to reach people who are far from Christ.

His desire is to see people experience the freedom found in knowing and following Jesus. Cedar Point exists for that same purpose: transformed lives, authentic community, and mission lived out every day.

What We Believe

What we believe impacts how we live, serve, love our families, work in our neighborhoods, and show the world the love of Jesus.

God Loves Us

We believe in one God, creator of the universe, who deeply loves us and longs for relationship with us.

The Bible Guides Us

We believe the Bible is God’s Word and is deeply relevant to our everyday lives.

Jesus Saves

We believe Jesus Christ made it possible for us to be restored to God through faith and repentance.

The Church Is People

The church is not a building. It is people who follow Jesus and show His love to the world.
