History
The church was started in November 1995 by Andy Stanley. For the first three years of its existence, the congregation of North Point met every other Sunday night in rented facilities.

In December 1996, North Point purchased an 83 acre site in Alpharetta, a suburb of Atlanta. Construction began six months later. The first phase of construction included a 2,700-seat auditorium and other facilities, which opened on September 27, 1998. By Christmas, attendance had grown to 3,000. By the end of the first year, North Point was averaging over 4,000 in worship. In spring of 2001, the second phase of construction was completed, which added a second auditorium with the additional seating. North Point can accommodate around 5,000 worshipers at one time.

In the spring of 2001, a group from the Buckhead area of Atlanta began meeting every other Sunday night in rented facilities with the desire to create a church similar to North Point Community Church in their area. Andy Stanley and the North Point leadership team advised the "Buckhead Fellowship", and in August 2001, the group became the first satellite campus of North Point as Buckhead Church. Buckhead Church moved into a renovated grocery store in 2003, and moved to a purpose-built, permanent facility in May 2007.

A third campus, Browns Bridge Church, opened on October 8, 2006. The fourth and fifth campuses of North Point, Woodstock City Church (formally Watermarke Church) and Gwinnett Church (located in Sugar Hill), were opened in 2011. Decatur City Church, a former strategic partner of North Point Ministries, was added as a sixth location in November 2014. In January 2019, Gwinnett Church opened a second building in the Hamilton Mill area near Buford, Georgia. East Cobb Church was added as the seventh campus of North Point in 2020, bringing eight total locations to the organization.

According to a church census released in 2023, it claimed a weekly attendance of 23,000 people.
