North Point Worship, formerly known as North Point InsideOut, is an American contemporary worship music band from Alpharetta, Georgia. Their group formed at North Point Community Church in 2012, a non-denominational congregation, a church established by Pastor Andy Stanley. The group released, No One Higher in 2012 and Hear in 2015 with North Point Music. Nothing Ordinary: Part 1 released in June 2017 and Nothing Ordinary: Part 2 released in October 2017 were recorded with Centricity Music. Two of those albums both charted on the Billboard magazine charts, with the Hear album placing on the Billboard 200 chart. The group is best known for their 2015 hit "Death Was Arrested" featuring Seth Condrey. It peaked at No. 6 on the Billboard Christian Digital Song Sales for four consecutive weeks.

InsideOut ministry

The InsideOut ministry is the high school department of North Point Ministries. Thousands of high school students in the metro Atlanta area come to North Point's six locations every Sunday night including North Point Community Church, Browns Bridge Church, Gwinnett Church, Buckhead Church, Decatur City Church, and Woodstock City Church. Every Sunday, along with church music, students listen to their campuses' pastor, go to small group, and later eat dinner with their friends. InsideOut also has three church retreats every year including The Walk, MyLife, and Vertical Reality. The North Point Worship band gets to share new songs with students every retreat.
