Our Vision:
Reach
“We want to reach the unreached in our community and around the world.”
Matthew 18:12-14 NIV
12 “What do you think? If a man owns a hundred sheep, and one of them wanders away, will he not leave the ninety-nine on the hills and go to look for the one that wandered off? 13 And if he finds it, truly I tell you, he is happier about that one sheep than about the ninety-nine that did not wander off. 14 In the same way your Father in heaven is not willing that any of these little ones should perish.”
Restore
“We want to see every person healed and restored.”
Matthew 10:8 NIV
8 “Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those who have leprosy, drive out demons. Freely you have received; freely give.”
Release
“We want to see every person equipped and released in ministry.”
Ephesians 4:11-13 NIV
11 “So Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers, 12 to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up 13 until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.”
Our Values
Presence-Focused
Psalm 22:3 ESV
3“Yet you are holy, enthroned on the praises of Israel.”
Ephesians 4:2,3 NIV
2“Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. 3 Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace.”
Faith-Filled
1 Corinthians 14:1 NIV
1“Follow the way of love and eagerly desire gifts of the Spirit, especially prophecy.”
Hebrews 11:1-3 NIV
1“Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see. 2 This is what the ancients were commended for. 3 By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God’s command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible.”
Servant-Hearted
John 13:14-17 NIV
14 Now that I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another’s feet. 15 I have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you. 16 Very truly I tell you, no servant is greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him. 17 Now that you know these things, you will be blessed if you do them.
Conclusion:
We strive to be a loving community that reaches, restores, and releases every person to expand God’s Kingdom. We do this by being presence-focused, faith-filled, and servant-hearted.
Dear Pastor Joel, I suddenly realized that God has been equipping me to expand His Kingdom through Northside Church and your preaching. He has done many wonderful things through me that I could not do on my own. Thank you 🙏
