Our Story
“It starts at the Center.”
Founded in 1968, Center Point GA, Inc. opened its doors to provide religious education to Christian youth in Hall County. Seeing firsthand the various issues and dilemmas faced by students and their families, the Center decided in 1985 to expand its services to the community to include student and family counseling. Later, in 1994, in an effort to connect students with positive and encouraging role models, the mentor program was established. In 2001, the Center came full circle with the creation of the prevention program. Two years later, in order to account for the diversity of programs that it now offered, the Center formally adopted its current name—Center Point. In 2015, Center Point absorbed Teen Pregnancy Prevention, Inc. and its programs.
Center Point has served the citizens of Gainesville City and Hall County for over 50 years. Though originally the brainchild of a few local churches, created with the purpose of providing off-site religion classes to public school students, the Center has slowly transformed into arguably Hall County’s most successful and diverse student-and-family-centered non-profit. Our mission is simple: enhance, strengthen, and change lives. This is what we are doing and what we will continue to do for years to come.
