Leadership & Preaching

Pastor Justin and Tara have been joyfully married since 2007, when they first tied the knot in Dallas, TX. Since then, they have passionately served in full-time ministry in numerous capacities, from youth and children’s ministry to church planting. The Lord has blessed them with three amazing boys - Eli, Liam, and Lincoln - and continues to lead them on incredible adventures of faith. They are confident that following Him will bring them to the best possible destinations, as His plans are always perfect!

OUR HISTORY

SMALL BEGINNINGS

 

Connection Pointe was started by our founding Pastors, Justin and Tara Petrali. Pastor Justin and Tara are passionate about following the Holy Spirit's leading in all that they do, trusting Him in confidence and boldness. In the spring of 2019, they felt God calling them to step down as Lead Pastors of another church and trust Him for what He had next for them. They soon felt a strong calling to start a new church in Buffalo, and as they prayed about the community, they knew that it should be named Connection Pointe.

 

Connection Pointe was launched with a grand celebration on Sept 19th, 2021. From birth to conception, the mission has been consistent; connecting people to a growing relationship with Jesus and others.
 

OUR BELIEFS

GOD...
JESUS...
HOLY SPIRIT...
BIBLE...
SALVATION...
BAPTISM...

Connection Pointe is a Bible-believing and preaching church that respects the individual conscience of its members. We recognize that Scripture is silent on certain matters, and so each believer must be led by God and held accountable to Him alone. We stand by our Statement of Beliefs as an accurate representation of what Scripture teaches.
