NewPointe Community Church Reviews

Lofty and unattainable goals for staff - the bar is set then a few months later changed once again to add more to staff's plates. Work-life balance is a joke. Every single person that has left in the last year has cited they felt like their family wasn't a priority. Unsure how a church with family as a top value overworks their own employees to the point where they cannot enjoy time with their own. The demands that continuously changed and the bar that is always raised is unattainable at best.

The biggest issue with this organization is trust. As in, there is very little for staff members. The desire to control and micro-manage from the top breeds distrust that has saturated the culture. Leadership will tell staff members what decisions to make and then turn around and ask why people aren't stepping up and making them on their own. This creates a very discouraging cycle that ends in many people finding other employment earlier than planned. High-demand and stressful working environments. After working 40+ hours each week many staff members also serve on the weekends. There is no time adjustment for serving and families suffer. For many staff members the weekend is a source of anxiety, not relaxation. During my tenure I only received a performance review during one year. The opportunities for advancement both positionally and financially depend exclusively on how leadership views you at that moment. Multiple high-performing employees were let go because they were not "YES" people and spoke out against poor decisions. Under-performing employees stayed and even promoted because of their relationship to leaders. Funds were not available to pay vastly underpaid staff yet became available for frivolous expenses when leadership requests were made.
