There are standing committees on Membership and Evangelism, Outreach, Education, Finance, and Worship. In many cases, decisions are made by the elected leadership of the church. In some cases, though, the entire membership of the church is included in decisions. A yearly budget is developed in the fall and adopted by the Leadership Council. The stewardship campaign is early in November.
Northaven members are among the highest per-capita givers in North Texas Methodism.
Gifts can be given at any time of the year to the Northaven Covenant Funds , two extra-budgetary funds that are used to support different building needs and innovative Community, such as lectureships. One is the Celebration Fund , in which recent small gifts are spent immediately. The other is the Permanent Endowment Fund , in which large gifts product interest income for major program activities such as lecture series or arts events. If you have felt moved by the worship, spirit, and mission of Northaven Church and are interested in membership, please speak with Rev. John Thornburg. John holds periodic classes to acquaint people with the life of the church.
