Make Room is a church-wide journey that invites us to align our lives with God’s heart and create space for Him to move. As we explore the biblical principle of honor, we believe that when we honor God and others through our words, actions, and relationships, we make room for God’s work to take deeper root in us and through us.
Kingdom Builders is your invitation to go beyond ordinary generosity – it's how we can reach more people, transform more lives, and expand Northplace Church's impact for generations to come.
I grew up in a small farming community in the heart of the rural south. My father would often disappear for days or weeks at a time. Then one day, he left and never returned. For years as a child, I was the victim of sexual abuse at the hands of an extended family member. As a teenager, I became an alcoholic to escape the pain. Abuse, abandonment, and addiction defined my life. Then in my late teen years, I gave my life to Jesus. His love and healing transformed me. After meeting Jesus, God’s grace not only dealt with my sin, but also began to heal the hurts of my past. This experience with grace forged in me a passion for broken people. Northplace Church’s vision to “invite the uninvited” and pursue “forgotten people in forgotten places” is strategic and intentional, born out of the experience with grace in my personal pain.
Advent not only focuses on the salvation of man in the here and now; there is an intentional focus on the return of Christ the King in his Second Advent or Second Coming. When the Messiah comes He will heal us and our world in every way. Advent reminds us, if God can and will break into human history once to save us - like he did in that first Christmas - then he can break into our lives now to help and heal us.
Our culture doesn’t know how to cure the evil and suffering that consumes it. And if we think that if we work hard enough, long enough, unified enough, we can fix it ourselves; then we are doing so foolishly. Biblical Christmas is honest because it doesn’t ignore the darkness. “the people who sat in darkness have seen a great light.”
Living lives of extravagant generosity helps create more opportunities for people to experience a life-changing relationship with Jesus and to reach the world for the Kingdom of God. Digital and physical giving options are available for your convenience.
