WHO WE ARE

Pastor Cedrick and Latoya Barrett founded Purpose Church in March of 2011. The Barrett’s are natives of Fayetteville, NC and are parents to 3 children, Daniel, Essence, and Josiah. Honesty and transparency are hard to come by but The Barrett’s commitment to live their lives this way makes their ministry genuine and impactful. They have a passion for people and helping them identify and walk in their purpose. They encourage practical biblical principles that empower people to live healthy and whole as they impact the world. 

Purpose Church was founded with a  core group of 15 people who would meet on Friday nights to hold bible studies at a local facility in the Monkey Junction area.  As the bible study attendance began to grow, the decision was made to launch the first official Sunday morning worship service. In March 2012, at a local facility off of Gordon Road.  For the next 2 years, Purpose Church would have Sunday worship services here while having mid-week services at a satellite office downtown. The weekly attendance continued to grow over this 2 year period leading to relocating to the current facility – 1470 N. Kerr Avenue Wilmington, NC  28405 in December 2013.

In the inspired Word of God, the Trinity( – the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit)

We believe in repentance, salvation, grace, redemption 

We are a church filled with heartfelt prayer and passionate worship.

We are not religious or legalistic. Our goal isn’t perfection, it’s progress.

We believe in repentance, salvation, grace, redemption. We understand that salvation is a journey and we are here to support you.

We are action-oriented and addicted to constant improvement. We want to make a difference, and we’re ready to sweat to see it happen. Team work makes the dream work.

We reach the many by never losing sight of the one. We go the second mile so our church will look like heaven – diverse in every way, yet united as the body of Christ

Generosity is a trust issue, we choose to believe God by giving sacrificially.
