Community Outreach and Connection
Opportunities abound to reach out in our North community through evangelism, cross-cultural relationships and practical mercy ministries.
Ways to Get Involved
-
Befriending Unbelievers
Gospel Befriending is a focus at The North Church as we encourage one another to develop genuine friendships with unbelievers in order to show them the kind of befriending love we have received from Jesus. These friendships also provide the context in which we can share the gospel. A North Neighborhood Outreach Facebook group has formed to share ongoing ideas, prayer requests, and support.
Tuesday Night Evangelism
All are welcome to participate in this ministry! Whether or not you are experienced in sharing your faith, this is a wonderful opportunity to put your faith into action with an evangelism team. During the summer, we meet Tuesdays at 6:30pm, spend time in prayer, and team up in pairs to go out into nearby neighborhoods for evangelizing, discipling, and equipping.
