“She asked” is not reason enough to say yes, especially for North Point. Some churches host aerobic classes, school chorus events, sports programs, food pantries on site, weddings, etc. — they try to do it all. North Point purposely does not. It purposely sticks to “what they do best” and what specifically fits under their mission statement. This does not. “She asked” is truly no reason.
I love to visit Georgia, and will be coming there on Monday.looking for some sunshine!!! save me some...

I attend Buckhead (part of the Northpoint umbrella for those not from Atlanta), and I have a friend who was turned down for having an event at Northpoint because it did not fit their focus of “leading people into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ.” I think this was for an event benefiting an autistic charity.
I respect that Northpoint stays focused on their mission, even if it means they must turn down worthy groups like this one. It’s just too easy to get off track. That’s why I was a little confused when Andy announced the first lady event. However, I have been impressed with Andy’s judgement in the past, and I’m sure a lot of prayer and deliberation went into this decision.
