Turning Point Apostolic Church, originally named Ellettsville United Pentecostal Church, was founded and built by Rev. Doyle Cain.  The first service was held on March 20, 1960.  Rev. Cain was the Pastor until June of 1964. On June 28, 1964 the church voted to elect Rev.L.D. Axsom as the new Pastor. 

 

In 1965, the church added on a new second story, which added classrooms and office space. In 1988, the church went through an extensive remodel including turning the sanctuary completely around.  Rev. Axsom served as Pastor and Co-pastor until his retirement on January 25, 1998.

​

On June 30, 1995, Rev. Ron Hawkins was unanimously elected to be the Co-pastor along side Rev. Axsom.  On January 25, 1998, Rev. Axsom retired and Rev. Hawkins became the full-time Pastor of Turning Point Apostolic Church.  Pastor Hawkins had his installation service on  March 15, 1998. Rev. Ron Hawkins, and wife Cindy Hawkins, have three adult children who are all serving in the ministry. On October 31, 2004 the church broke ground on a new building that attached to the original building.

 

The new space added a new sanctuary, office, sound room, nursery, restrooms and entry way.  The first service was held in the new sanctuary on October 9, 2005. At which time, the name was changed  to Turning Point Apostolic Church.  The current church has grown tremendously, and we are looking forward to another bigger facility in the foreseeable future.
