North Hills Church exists for a reason. Our actions reflect the passions of our hearts. Through time, our unique values have emerged. After fifteen years of sharing life together, several distinct values have become apparent:
We love our PEOPLE! Our folks are bright. They come to church dressed casually after a week of long daily commutes, excessive overtime hours and unlimited stimulus from a godless culture. They do not come to church to be beat-up spiritually. They are not looking for archeological information on the tribal customs of the ancient Philistines. They want to know how, through the message of the biblical text, God can empower them to face the inevitable challenges of life. This requires our presentation to be very practical in nature. This makes a lot of sense, especially when the Holy Spirit is involved. We try to provide opportunities for laughter and tears.Our services are authentic, upbeat, and contemporary.
We love our TOWN! We serve the community, partnering with the city and the local schools in creative ways. We give away prizes; we provide labor and service; we sponsor scholarships and events. We make ourselves a part of many key community events. We constantly look for new ways to integrate ourselves into our community. God, we trust, is supernaturally orchestrating the entire endeavor. In the process, we are being careful to pay close attention to His leading.
We love our missionaries! Our congregation strives diligently to be participants in global Christianity. We have aggressively increased our missionary efforts overseas every year. We purposefully bless missionary families in appropriate ways. We work hard to be aware of the world around us. We’re doing all we can to fulfill Christ’s very specific commission to share his love with all people, even those we will never meet. We have built ten churches oversees, participating in several other specific projects. Presently, we partner with over 120 missionaries and missionary organizations, taking the message of God’s saving grace to people all around the globe (60+ countries).
We love our friends! We have worked hard to form a camaraderie with the neighboring evangelical pastors and congregations. Uniquely, we are in a wonderful partnership that includes prayer, encouragement and shared ministry. The threat of competition is minimized in our relationships. God is glorified by our unified yet diverse partnership in the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We cheer for the church down the street, knowing this brings unity and honors our one God in heaven.
We love our kids! Most of our church has a family member under four feet tall. These small, fragile, precious people create unlimited children’s ministry opportunities. One of the best things about our church is the way we love kids, teaching them the truths of God’s Word through creative, tangible means. Our team of loving, enthusiastic teachers pours their love for Jesus into weekly lesson preparation and delivery. Every adult volunteer is thoroughly screened and trained, increasing their potential to make a God-inspired, God-empowered impact on our children. Since day one, our kids have been the tail that wags the dog!
