Our missions ministry is Make a Difference. We believe strongly God grows us to be more like Him when we join in His work in the world. We serve in missions to connect us with God’s work outside of our walls, our town and our nation. Some are called to go, others are called to pray, and others are called to support through giving. No matter the calling, it’s about taking Jesus’ message to all parts of the world.

Explore below the many opportunities NorthRidge offers for making a difference in our church, community and world. If you have questions, please reach out to our missions pastor Dan Monson or Missions Ministry Leader Dale Dimitroff.

Passion for People (P4P) at NorthRidge is once again making a strong push forward with the ongoing water project in San Jeronimo, Honduras. In April of 2017 we packed 247,000 meals in one day, in partnership with Impact Lives, to help our brothers and sisters in Honduras. What a difference it made for them, just ask anyone who was in San Jeronimo when the meals got distributed.

Water Project Details

What is the Water Project?
A partnership with Healing Waters, an international organization that focuses on water issues globally, to provide healthy fresh water to those that need it in the San Jeronimo and surrounding area. They have expertise in such projects and have helped us determine what needs to be done.

Project Scope

found a location In the San Jeronimo area, purchased the land and Healing Waters tested and approved it as good clean water
a well needs to be dug and a building needs to be put around it
purifying equipment needs to be installed
security protecting this resource must be put in place

Fresh clean water will provide much more than just pure healthy drinking water. It will give a sense of hope for those in the community, provide jobs and revenue streams that can be used for other projects and most of all bring glory to our God, for He is the great provider. Will you join us? Will you join in God’s work? P4P is on the move!
