A big THANK YOU to the entire Northwest family! Your prayerful support, financial
investment, and servant leadership are very much valued and needed in the life
of Northwest. As your Leadership Team, we
are incredibly grateful to God for the privilege of serving alongside you and
sharing in this faith journey together. In addition to saying thank you, the
Leadership Team would like to share with you the exciting ways God has been
working to prepare Northwest for future service and impact.
Over the past 6 years, God has
established a unique and healthy culture at Northwest characterized by high
levels of trust, humility, and generosity. Furthermore, God has raised up
servant leaders dedicated to the mission of producing and releasing leaders who
are fully devoted followers of Jesus Christ.
At the close of 2015, the Leadership Team shared with you two strategic
goals we believed God was leading Northwest towards over the next 3 years:
- The support of 4 fully-funded pastors committed to making disciples and releasing leaders.
- The Serve the City Center – Our land and building concept designed to partner with other organizations, businesses, and non-profits striving to serve the needs of people in north Benton County in the name of Jesus Christ.
Through out 2016, God has confirmed these two strategic goals in the hearts of our leaders
and given us greater clarity for the future. In addition, God has amazed us
with His provision and financial blessings through the generosity of His
people. In our current teaching series, James
1:17 has reminded us that every good and perfect gift is given to us by God in
order to highlight His goodness. At Northwest we want to use the blessings God
has given us to bless others and point people to Jesus Christ. God’s recent
provisions for Northwest have emboldened the Leadership Team to take steps
towards 4 fully-funded pastors, designate funds for the future Serve the City
Center, and explore new partnerships and avenues of service to our community.
For
the remainder of 2016, please join us in asking the Lord to grant Northwest
greater levels of spiritual momentum and then consider the specific ways God
wants you to invest in the future of Northwest through the use of your time,
talents, and treasure. As always, please feel free to reach out to anyone on the
Leadership Team if you have questions or comments regarding your past, present
or future giving.
In Christ,
The Leadership Team of Northwest Community Church
