Life at Northpark: Value Driven
Northpark’s mission statement is: Letting God love us and love others through us. Last week we introduced our mission and how the mission defines Life at Northpark. Our mission statement explains who we are and what we seek to accomplish.
Our mission is built on a vision for being a church that is characterized by growth. Our vision seeks growth that is balanced between qualitative and quantitative. Our vision focuses on God’s love as the means of helping us grow in the ability to receive, appreciate, and express God’s love. Our church seeks to help people recognize the love God has for humanity. Our vision is to be nurtured and empowered by God’s love. This means we want to grow in greater awareness of the multiple ways that God expresses his love.
Our desire for quantitative growth expresses our vision that God’s love is readily available to all and that we can share God’s love with others by using our lips and lives. Our vision is to grow as God’s children sustained by his love so that we can authentically let God love others through us. We have a vision for being an active partner with God in expressing His love to those in the community of Kingwood and to those who call Northpark their Christian family.
The cornerstone of our mission statement is the value we place on God’s transforming love for humanity. Our mission statement stresses that we value the love of God. Our church seeks to understand how wide, how long, how high, and how deep God’s love is (Eph 3:18). We value God’s love because without God’s love humanity finds itself with hope and meaning in the world.
We value God’s love and thus we seek to create opportunities for people to encounter, explore, and express their appreciation for the expansiveness of God’s love. We also seek to create opportunities to encounter God’s love through the ministries of our church. Letting God love others through us demonstrates that as a church we are concerned about the well-being of people. We value your soul, we value your mind, we value your heart, and we value your strength. Northpark values people enough to seek to let what we do as a church build up our community and empower our community to let God love our neighborhoods and then love others within those neighborhoods.
We seek others to join us in our mission. We seek those who have a vision to grow because they value the transforming love of God. Join us as we let God love us and let God love others through us.
