Missions

But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.

-Acts 1:8 (ESV)

In addition to being in the community, for the community; we also intentionally set out to fulfill the Great Commission by employing strategic partnerships in an Acts 1:8 model that align with our values at North. All of our missions partnerships are supported through our annual Give-to-Go missions offering.

Uttermost – Mission Aviation Fellowship

The vision of Mission Aviation Fellowship is to see isolated people changed by the love of Christ. Millions of people around the world live cut-off from all this and more by either geographic barriers—like jungles, mountains, and deserts—or by social, political, or religious barriers. There are people who, simply because of where they were born, will never have the chance at the same life many of us in the developed world enjoy. A life where their children can go to school, where they can get medical care, where they can get help when disaster strikes, where they can experience the love of Jesus.
