A Timeless Message
When Donna and I began Turning Point in 1982, we couldn't imagine God would bless us with the presence we have in the world today. But as Turning Point got started, we began to see how God worked—giving us moments along the way to step out in faith and seize opportunities. That momentum took us to the next level and then the next.
I'm not one to look back. I'm always looking forward and always searching for the "what's next" in God's plan for us. It's not that I don't see value in looking at the past. God has done much in and through Turning Point over the last forty years. There are countless examples of how He's provided—and a long list of opportunities seized and lives transformed for eternity—that are well-worth remembering and celebrating.
But reaching forty years is not the end of something; it's just the beginning.
Though the world has changed since our ministry's humble beginnings, the Word of God has not—it is the same yesterday, today, and forever! It is a timeless book with a timeless message, and at this moment in time, God has provided Turning Point great opportunity to take the message of the Gospel to the world and into the future, as never before.
God has given us one of the largest delivery systems of the Gospel in the world. A delivery system of radio, television, print, and digital media, which I believe comes with a great deal of responsibility.
It's a profound thought that with all that has been accomplished through Turning Point Ministries, in many respects we haven't even scratched the surface of the work that needs to be done for the Kingdom. Turning Point is taking bold steps to empower a superb staff and harness the power of technology to present the timeless message of the Gospel to the world not just for our time, but for all time!

A Timeless Mission
Delivering the unchanging Word of God to an ever-changing world!
This is the mission of Turning Point. However, the question is not if we will deliver the unchanging Word of God to an ever-changing world; the question is how long will we deliver the unchanging Word of God to an ever-changing world?
We believe that God has called us not only to today but also to tomorrow. Beyond our lifetime.
Until the Lord returns. This started with the investments we've been making for forty years—the wise decisions to ensure my father's teaching can be captured, curated, and communicated in dozens of ways for the future, continually harnessing the power of methodology to reach the world with compelling and creative media not attempted by most ministries and championing the Word of God with a standard of excellence that results in a clear and timeless presentation of the Bible.
I am sure the disciples thought Jesus would be back in their lifetime, as we most likely do ourselves. Almost two thousand years later, we still don't know the hour of Christ's return, so we must do all we can today to preserve the Word of God by preaching, teaching, and reaching the world with it as if Jesus will not come back anytime soon. We are determined to be diligent in the present and to plan, produce, and promote the Word of God for the future. We are delivering the unchanging Word of God to an ever-changing world and in our lifetime, investing in sound Bible ministry to impact an ever-changing future.

A Timeless Moment
How can a moment be timeless?
There are thousands of moments in the Bible that should live on forever.
The moment when light was spoken into existence and the moment God breathed life into man. The moment the Red Sea parted and the moment the tabernacle veil was ripped in two. The moment Jesus was born in Bethlehem and the moment a star burst into radiance in the sky above. The moments Jesus turned water into wine, healed a leper, calmed the sea, and spoke the words to bring His friend back to life. The moment when Jesus died on a wooden cross and the moment He arose and the stone was rolled away. Paul's life-changing moment on the road to Damascus. The moment when the final trumpet will sound and the dead in Christ will rise! And the last moment possible to accept Jesus before it's too late.
These are just a few of the meaningful moments found in the Word of God—moments from amazing stories that need to be told and not forgotten. Moments that inspire, transform and change lives.
So how do we ensure these moments are timeless?
By presenting them in compelling teaching packaged in attractive presentations. This is the goal of Turning Point—to create media with such creative excellence that it will impact today's world and the world of tomorrow.
This is our moment.

Turning Points Magazine & Devotional
Turning Points Magazine and Devotional is a free resource offered only through Turning Point and is the most tried and true publication that is sent to readers each month. For dedicated supporters of the ministry, it is a familiar source of inspiration arriving to their mailbox. For people new to Turning Point, it is one of the first pieces of mail they receive from us.
Each month readers can find articles and devotionals from Dr Jeremiah that will encourage, challenge, and strengthen their walk with the Lord.
The magazine is a well-oiled machine, and at any given time, five magazines are in the process of being produced. Each magazine spends about one month in the following phases: concept, writing, proofing, design, and printing/mailing.
It All Starts With a Book.
Inspiration. That’s how it all begins. And from there, Dr Jeremiah takes his direction and goes to work. And work it is. Writing a book is no easy feat—especially when you write one or more books a year!
In tandem, Dr Jeremiah teaches the material he is writing, and then that teaching is turned into an audio book, study guides, television and radio programs, CDs and DVDs, web and app content, digital outreach, social media posts, magazine content, ancillary Bible study resources, and as in the case of Why the Nativity?, a film.
And that’s just the beginning. Each book and the materials created from it are then translated into fifteen foreign languages for Turning Point’s international ministry.
Take a look at Dr David Jeremiah’s body of work.

Next Generation: Kids
TURNING POINT’S BIBLE STRONG KIDS
We can’t shield our children and grandchildren from the media, but we can choose the media by which they are influenced. Billions of dollars are being invested in Hollywood to create secular entertainment for children. And children will always choose the highest quality and creative content they can find.
We firmly believe that it won’t be until believers invest in media that is both biblically grounded and creatively excellent, meeting the standards kids expect from the secular world, that we will truly make a difference. Technology and media can be powerful tools for God’s purposes, and we see them as opportunities rather than challenges.
Turning Point is here for the Next Generation.

PASSAGESTV
The passage into adulthood is filled with more questions than answers—questions of identity, purpose, and calling in a world of overwhelming pressures and mixed messages. What do young adults do with all the questions, unknowns, and uncertainties that lie before them?
The search for these answers led Turning Point Ministries to the launch of PassagesTV—a community of young adults who are passionate about pursuing Jesus Christ and discovering their God-given calling through life’s everyday adventures.
Hosted by Dr Jeremiah’s grandson, David Todd Jeremiah, PassagesTV creates compelling Christian video content for the young adult through outdoor adventures, inspirational devotionals, and Discover Your Calling interviews with noted names such as Tony Dungy, James Brown, Daniel Jeremiah, and more.

Statement of Faith
Turning Point for God was founded in 1982 as the broadcast ministry of Dr David Jeremiah to deliver the unchanging Word of God to an ever-changing world. Over the years, the phenomenal growth of the English broadcast ministry has enabled David Jeremiah's teaching to be translated into multiple languages, taking the ministry outreach beyond our borders.
Today, Turning Point reaches every state in the U.S., covers six continents, and touches people around the globe with the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ.
The church faith is expressed in that form of doctrine generally held by those known as Baptists, the distinguishing features of which are stated below.
As Baptists, we stand for the supreme authority of the Word of God as the only rule of faith and practice, as opposed to all human traditions.
We stand for the ordinances of Baptism and the Lord’s Supper as Christ enjoined them upon His followers; the same in number, in act, in order and in symbolic meaning, unchanged and unchangeable ‘til He comes again.
As a New Testament Church, we affirm our belief in the individual priesthood of the believer, in the verbal inspiration and authority of the Scriptures; in the Virgin Birth and essential Deity of our Lord; in His atoning death and bodily resurrection; in His ascension into Heaven and promised endowment of the Holy Spirit; in His personal, visible premillennial return and ultimate and undisputed Kingdom and reign.
We stand for a regenerated and spiritual church, holding that only those who have confessed a personal faith in Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord shall be received into this church or welcomed to its ordinances.
In church policy we believe:
That a Christian Church is a local congregation, under Christ complete in itself, sovereign and independent.
That Christ committed to each church the sole guardianship and control of the ordinances; i.e., preaching the Gospel, baptizing and administering the Lord’s Supper.
That all church rights and privileges are limited to the discipline of each local church.
That no semblance of ecclesiastical authority can be exercised except by a local church. The local church alone can elect, commission, and depose its officers, receive discipline and exclude its members.
