MISSIONS MINISTRY

Missions is integral to who we are at Northgate Alliance Church, just as it is for the denomination to which we belong: The Christian & Missionary Alliance. Missions is our middle name, you might say.

Take a few minutes to hear the stories of these people whose lives have been transformed by the truth and power of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Then, come back to find out more about how we do missions, here at Nortgate, and how you can partner with us.

Here at Northgate, we actively participate in God’s world-wide work in four ways:

Education
Through our Annual Missions Conference each spring, gift subscriptions for all church members to aLife (the official magazine of The Christian and Missionary Alliance), and a missions emphasis in our teaching and preaching for all ages, we intentionally seek to educate and inspire missions involvement. Missions is not just something missionaries do, it is something we all do.

Praying
One of the key ways we partner with our missionaries is through informed intercessory prayer (2 Cor. 1:8-11). Members are encouraged to keep abreast of current missions-related prayer concerns, praying for the expressed needs of actual missionaries serving in specific areas of the world.

Giving
The primary means by which we financially support our missionaries is through contributions to The Christian and Missionary Alliance's Great Commission Fund (GCF). By giving to the GCF, we support over 600 missionaries world-wide. We also partner with missionaries around the world by participating in Operation Christmas Child, a ministry of Samaritan’s Purse.

Going
One of the most effective ways to foster a deeper appreciation of God’s missionary heart is to catch it by going on a short-term mission trip. Each year we seek to provide an affordable opportunity for people to experience cross-cultural ministry firsthand.

REACH OUT

You will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. And you will be My witnesses, telling people about Me everywhere—in Jerusalem, throughout Judea, in Samaria, and to the ends of the earth. (NLT)
Acts 1:8

BE TRANSFORMED

We all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another. (ESV)
2 Corinthians 3:18
