What is CPSM?
ChangePoint Student Ministries ranges from 6th through 12th grade. We hope you'll join us as we hang out, build friendships, and grow together as young men and women of Christ.
Middle School
Grades 6-8
Wednesday nights (6:30-8:30)
CPSM's Middle School ministry is all about life change.
We believe it is important to teach biblical lessons that students can apply to real life choices as they prepare for high school and adulthood. Students will learn the importance of community, mentorship, and daily worship that will be the foundation of their faith journey to come.

High School
Grades 9-12
Sunday nights (5:30-7:30)
CPSM's High School ministry is geared towards digging deeper.
We believe high school is a pivotal stage where students need to be both encouraged and challenged to make their faith their own. Student's will have opportunities to go on missions and serve as leaders as they dig deeper into theology and the heart of God.

Blake Fitzgerald

Professional cat-herder. Known to cry at campfire worship and laugh at his own jokes (because someone has to). Once rescued a stray frog and named it Jeremiah. Keeps a stash of emergency Capri Suns in the glove box. Probably has marshmallows in his hair from last week's youth group game.
Julien Jones
Coffee Shop Manager
Julien is a Senior at South Anchorage High. He’s currently working on training a squirrel to guard the coffee shop and brews coffee exclusively while wearing mismatched socks “for balance". In his spare time, he likes to act out roller coaster rides in his room, screaming and holding onto air like it’s a safety bar. He is also fluent in pigeon and Na’vi.
