Global Outreach

Our global ministries exist to reach all tribes, tongues, peoples, and nations through delighting in and declaring the glory of Jesus Christ. Our aim is to nurture and train many to become zealous goers and to involve and educate all others to be zealous senders.

 Ways Our Church Supports Global Outreach

  • At The North Church, we have a group of people that assist the elders in preparing, sending, and caring for our global partners. The team meets to hear from global partners on home assignment or to evaluate prospective partners who have completed the Nurture Program. Members of our GO team have a heart for supporting global partners in a significant way and have had cross-cultural experience themselves.

  • The Nurture Program is our process of developing and assessing members of our church to be sent out as long-term global partners. We desire that each candidate be developed in character, knowledge, and skills so that they might be faithful and fruitful on the mission field.

  • A Barnabas Team is a small group of 6–12 committed people who come together to care for a global partner or global partner family. The support and encouragement takes a variety of forms as they strive to help meet physical, emotional, and spiritual needs. It is a group of people with whom the global partner can be open and honest, allowing them to see his or her needs and to share in successes and defeats.

Global Outreach Events

Global Focus

Every October we have a Global Focus week, where we turn our eyes to the nations and God’s plan for missions. Highlight of this week is our Global Focus Kickoff event, which includes a meal, worship, and family-friendly activities.

Prayer for the Persecuted Church

Every second Friday a group of people gathers to pray for the persecuted church at 7pm in room A200. All are welcome to attend!

Rope Holders

Rope Holders provides a unique opportunity for women to pray together for the specific needs of our Global Partners and for God to continue to make his name known among the nations. Every second Monday at 7pm one or two of our global partner women join us to share about their lives and ministry.
