Why Are We Here?

We exist to search out and encourage our congregation’s heart for our global community. We do that by providing short term missions trips, and by providing multiple opportunities for our church to partner with missionaries and missions organizations worldwide for the
proclaiming of the gospel of Jesus Christ.

This is for believers of all ages. There are no qualifications that are necessary. All that is required is a willing heart. So many times people are discouraged by the cost, or the time commitment, but when God calls someone he makes the pieces come together. Ask anyone who has been on a mission trip and find out how God provided for them beyond their prior expectations. We as a mission team believe that God is raising up people in our church who will be called to full time missionary service. Already we have assisted several students with to missionary training (Youth With A Mission). Jump in!!!

What Are We About?

• Glorifying our Lord
• Stewardship
• Faithfulness

How Can You Get Involved?

• Join the Mission Team. We meet the 2nd Monday of each month at 7:00pm here at Northlake.
• Go! Participating in any short term missions trip will open your heart and mind to the opportunities available in foreign missions.
• Take a perspectives class at a local church www.perspectives.org
• Prayer support. Please pray for our mission’s team and the missionaries we support.
• Financial support. There are always more needs than we have funds available. We love to bless our missionaries with additional support when available or to help support those considering mission training, internships, or YWAM DTS (Discipleship Training School).
