What Are Ministries?
NPCC’s Ministries are organized, support services within the church where everyone can work together to plan and coordinate the responsibilities of the church in fulfilling its mission and vision. Volunteers set the exciting direction for the ministries of the church!
North Park’s mission (purpose), which is similar in content to all New Testament churches, is to be a Bible-centered church based upon relevant teaching, heart-felt worship, honest friendships, compassionate care, and community awareness through constant prayer that influences one life at a time. The ministries provide the means to accomplish this purpose in a united and strategic way. North Park’s vision (direction) is to use ministries to creatively present the gospel to emerging generations; ministry that is relevant to today’s culture.
“Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God’s grace in its various forms.”
I Peter 4:10 (NIV)
