Northfield Church

 

Our Church Purpose and Mission

Northfield Church is committed to loving God, loving people and helping others do the same. We try to do this in five specific ways:

  1. Worship – We seek to build a relationship with God through knowing and worshiping Him.
  2. Fellowship – We welcome each other as members of God’s family through fellowship and encouragement.
  3. Discipleship – We do our best to become more like Jesus through studying the Bible and applying it to our lives.
  4. Service – We attempt to serve each other by finding out how God has uniquely gifted each of us and then using those gifts to build up others in the church.
  5. Outreach – We desire to share the message of God’s love for everyone through community outreach and sharing with our friends and co-workers.

These five principles are based on Jesus’ Great Commandments to love God and love our neighbors and His Great Commission to go into all the world and make disciples of everyone we can.

Matthew 22:37-40: Jesus replied: "‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments."

Matthew 28:18-20: Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."
