NORTHPARK KIDS

We love the kids at Northpark and are committed to providing safe, fun, and age-appropriate environments for them to learn and grow in their relationship with Jesus.

Want to find a way to get plugged in, serve in some way, meet new people, use your gifts, and live out your passion? We want to help make that happen! One way to do that is by being a part of the Northpark Dream Team. This Dream Team is made up of every person at Northpark that volunteers and serves in some way, either on Sunday mornings, for special events, in the community and more!

Life-change happens in the context of meaningful relationships! At Northpark, we truly believe we are better together. We are all made for community and we’re all in need of healthy accountability.

Get all the info about Groups (online and in-person) and Seasonal Classes, and how to find one for you by clicking the graphic above!
Again in 2024, 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!
To sign up for the 2024 Nicaragua Mission Trip OR to request more info, see below!

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.

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!
