Again in 2025, we are honored to partner with our friends Than & Megan Graffam at Hope Project International in Nicaragua! Hope Project International supports the work of a local church ministry in Nicaragua. Through their ministry, children are fed, homes are built, education is made possible, and life skills are taught. They are doing a fantastic job of implementing a process to help their community and not just give them a handout. We are going to support the work that they are already doing – not to help them find a better way or to help them improve their systems, We trust in the systems created by the people who live in this community day in and day out and the strategic plans working to bring about aid and life change. The results are evident and we are thankful for their hard work and dedication!
Get all the details and deadlines, ask questions, or sign up for the 2025 Nicaragua Mission Trip HERE!
Operation Christmas Child: A Samaritan’s Purse Outreach Project
Beginning Sunday October 19
This year, the Northpark family will be participating in Operation Christmas Child in conjunction with the non-profit organization Samaritan’s Purse! We have committed to filling at least 50 boxes which means providing 50 precious children with a meaningful, love-filled gift this Christmas.
Operation Christmas Child delivers great joy and the Good News of Jesus Christ to children in need around the world through gift-filled shoeboxes.
Each box packed full of quality toys, school supplies, and personal care items becomes a tangible expression of God’s immense love for the child. For many, it is their first gift ever! These shoebox gifts provide an opportunity to present the Gospel to boys and girls in a clear, child-friendly way.

HOSTED BY NORTHPARK KIDS
TREAT THE STREET
Friday, October 31
5:30-7:30pm
6531 Grassy Knoll Lane, Raleigh, NC
Each year, NP chooses a neighborhood to do what we call Treat the Street! We give out hotdogs and chips and drinks and goodie bags with candy and small invites to Northpark. The whole objective is to go to the community for this day instead of asking them to come to us, and to simply bless anyone who stops by the celebration. Anyone who wants to join in or stop by is invited! Costumes welcome!

1st & 3rd Wednesdays of Each Month
For the past six years, Northpark has partnered with The Oaks Community and the Inter-Faith Food Shuttle to host a bi-weekly Mobile Market and provide FREE food for anyone in our community that needs it. Local grocers and farms donate produce, meat, bread, desserts, dry goods, and more, and the Inter-Faith Food Shuttle delivers these donations to The Oaks neighborhood (near Sanderson High School) every other week.
A team of volunteers (that’s us!) helps unload the donation boxes, organize the foods, and then pre-packs large boxes with various foods for those who stop by. The truck typically arrives around 12:00/12:15PM on it’s scheduled weeks and the unpacking/sorting is typically done between 1:30-2:00PM. Distribution happens after that until 3:00 or 4:00PM.
Want to help?
If you would like to volunteer one, or even multiple Wednesdays, or if you would like additional information, contact Stephanie at stephanie@northparkrdu.com!
Volunteers are needed and welcome for all or only part of the market times, so please don’t hesitate if you can only help for one or two hours!
(Must be 18 or older per Food Shuttle guidelines.)
There’s brand new merch in Northpark’s online merch store! Check it out HERE.
T-shirts (kids & adults), long sleeves, crewnecks, hoodies, and even more to come!

Northpark exists to help build life-long followers of Jesus, and one of the ways we do that is by pastoring our cities and meeting needs in our communities.
While we have ideas and resources as a staff, we would love to hear from YOU – our Northpark family! If you have an idea for a service project or community outreach event that we might could possibly participate in or take on, please fill out the form below to let us know!
Click HERE for the SERVICE PROJECT IDEAS FORM!
This could be partnering or volunteering with a local organization, helping a community member who is elderly or unable to complete a task such as yard work, building a ramp, etc., meeting tangible needs of a single parent, the list goes on!
Your input and voice matter and we are thankful to have a church family that seeks out ways to serve! We will prayerfully consider all ideas and take on projects based on timing, availability, resources, and the leading of the Holy Spirit!
One of our goals for 2022 is to put more resources in the hands of the Northpark family as we continue our journey as life-long followers of Jesus. It’s our prayer that these resources in their various forms create opportunities to learn more about Christ and His character, who He has created you to be, and how to apply all that you’ve learned to every aspect of your life!
ONE great resource that we are excited to offer beginning this month is RightNow Media! A quick and simple way to describe it would be Netflix but for Bible study resources. Within RNM, there are currently more than 20,000 discipleship, devotion, and Bible study resources for the Northpark family – kids, youth, and adults! This is available to anyone at Northpark and in your family for free. You can access videos, lessons, quick studies and long term ones, and more – any time of day.
Simply click HERE or the graphic above to create your free account and then begin exploring and growing your relationship with God like never before!
