MISSIONS MINISTRY

Make a Difference

Missions on the Move

Taking Jesus' message to all parts of the world

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.
