Last fall, they held a concurrent service with a sister church in Namibia, Africa, which included both children's and adult services. We will seek out those relationships in which we can partner for strategic purposes, demonstrate Christian unity, and enhance the environment for our partners to minister effectively. Concurrent worship is only one facet of an overall Northland mission goal to gather a variety of people from different backgrounds who can learn to live in a Christ-like way with each other. We don't want people to be content with their own parochial mental image of the Lord. Instead, we want to challenge them to a much broader and deeper comprehension of their Maker and all He affects.
Northland embraces people from a wide variety of cultures and denominational persuasions.
They enjoy freedom in Christ concerning personal convictions and lifestyles not specifically addressed in Scripture and value tolerance of differences within the congregation. God gifts different churches for different emphases. Some are concerned mainly with evangelism, some with service, some with fellowship. Northland's goal is the balance and depth of all these toward the spiritual maturity of the individual. They care more for wisdom than knowledge, more for pursuing the purpose of life than simply supplying religious activity.
