South Point Community Church (Leamington, Ontario, Canada)
The South Point Community Church began as an outreach from members of the Leamington Mennonite Brethren Church. It was led by Brad and Dianne Wilson; Brad had been a youth pastor at Leamington Mennonite Brethren for five years. The church targeted the crunched, and persons who were disillusioned by traditional churches. It used a multi-media approach, using videos, dramas, music and testimonies. It initially met at the Margaret D. Bennie Public School in Leamington. In 2003 it moved to the Mt. Carmel-Blytheswood Public School.
In 2015 a Baptist church that was reaching the end of its life turned its building over to South Point. A Christian elementary school also has use of the building.
