Look What God Did Through Northwest in 2012

Below is a recent letter our Leadership Team sent to all the financial contributors to Northwest Community Church in 2012. We wanted to posted it on our blog so others could celebrate all that God accomplished over the span of the last 12 months.

Dear Northwest Community Church:
The Leadership Team would like to say thank you for your generous giving into the life of Northwest Community Church. We realize generous giving is much more than a financial decision or even simply a tax deduction. In fact, generous giving is the appropriate response for what Jesus Christ has done for us and serves as a genuine act of worship. On behalf of all those who have had their lives changed by Northwest, we are incredibly grateful you have chosen to contribute to the Christ-focused ministry of Northwest Community Church. It is a privilege to partner together in order to produce and release leaders in Northwest Arkansas who are fully devoted followers of Jesus Christ.

Below is a list of highlights that helped lead people to experience a new life in Christ in 2012:
  • We hosted 53 worship services in Cooper Elementary.
  • We hosted 15 Community Groups over the course of 3 semesters.
  • We taught 23 children each week on avg. in our children’s ministry.
  • We baptized two individuals who gave their lives to Jesus Christ. 
  • We dedicated 6 new babies who will be raised in homes centered upon Christ. 
  • We have 3 families serving as either adoptive or foster families.
  • We hosted 2 movie nights in the park to connect with unchurched families.
  • We gave out 50 boxes of brownie mix for our church to get to know their neighbors.
  • We served at Cooper Elementary with events, festivals, and movie nights. 
Keep in mind that we now have 4 convenient ways to give generously:
  1. Mail a check to P.O. Box 5128 Bella Vista, AR 72714. 
  2. Online through our website at www.lifeatnorthwest.org
  3. Automatic bank draft by submitting the form on our website. 
  4. Sunday mornings at our worship services. 
Join us on Sunday, February 24th at 10:00 a.m. as Northwest celebrates our 3rd birthday and gives thanks to God for his continual leadership and provision.

In Christ,
Will, Greg, Rob, and Kevin
