northpark christian church

Life at Northpark is driven by our mission to let God love us and let God love others through us. Our mission represents the hands and feet of our church. Our mission guides us in what we do to be a beneficial part of the community. Our mission says we want to let God love us. We want Life at Northpark to be clear evidence that God loves people. We are not a big church, but we recognize that God has a big heart, and we want Life at Northpark to clearly show that to be true. The second half our mission directly shows that our church understands that God has a desire to love others through us. We are not resting on God’s love. Rather, we are actively sharing God’s love.

Our mission serves as the hands and feet of our church because it tells us what we are to do; let God love us and let God love others through us. We know we cannot, nor do we need to hoard God’s love for ourselves. God’s love is so vast that it encompasses the world. We believe and try and act in a way that shows that God so loved the world, that he gave us one and only son so that we can have eternal life (John 3:16).

If you have been reading closely you may be anticipating what’s next. What’s next is to understand what serves as the heart of our mission. The heart provides our mission with energy and passion. What is the heart of our mission? The heart of our mission is our sense of purpose. Purpose speaks to our understanding of why our church exists. Our mission to let God love us and love others through us comes from an understanding that the church is to honor God and reflect God’s glory in all we say and do. We believe that the whole duty of humankind is to love God and to follow his commands (Ecclesiastes 12:13). This is our purpose; our reason for being as a church.

Our purpose to love to God and keep his commands defines what Life at Northpark is all about. Our purpose is the heart that energizes us and provides passion for all we do. If you are looking for a church that understands why it exists and then seeks to have what it does reflect that understanding, we encourage you to visit us. We are not a perfect church. But we are a church whose purpose is to love God and our mission is to let God’s love flow through us to our community.
