At Northgate Baptist Church, we seek to express God’s love to people through the five core functions of the church:
EVANGELISM
We envision the introduction of the people of the Greenville, South Carolina area to Jesus Christ primarily through the work of a strong Sunday School that seeks to express God’s love through honest, relational evangelism. We will make disciples for Christ in our homes,
church, and community. DISCIPLESHIP
We envision the development of our people into fully equipped servants of Christ through biblically-based discipleship education for all ages that we may mature into Great Commission Christian disciples. We envision using innovative ways to encourage Bible study at church and in our homes that we might make disciples for Christ. FELLOWSHIP
We envision the development of a loving Christian fellowship through personal interaction with members and guests. We envision a Christian fellowship that supports the other functions of the church by providing innovative opportunities for people to come together in Christian love. We envision making all people to feel welcome and valued at God’s church at Northgate. We deeply desire to reflect Christ’s commandment that all will know us as His followers by the love we have for one another. MINISTRY
We envision equipping believers to become obedient disciples in missions and service for our Savior by expressing God’s love in ministry to all people everywhere. While we value people of all ages and life circumstances, we have identified youth, children and preschool ministry as being of paramount importance for the future of the church. We desire to create a culture that brings all people to Christ and ultimately maturity in Him by clearly communicating Christ’s mandate to make disciples. Our goal is for every church member to become a Great Commission Christian disciple by living out Matthew 6:33. We will seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness. WORSHIP
We envision worship as being dynamic encounters with the living God. Since an experience with God is, by its very nature exciting and life changing, we seek to create an atmosphere through music, prayer and biblically-based preaching where everyone can respond to God’s presence with genuine worship and praise. We envision worship as being a reflection of our stewardship responsibility to our gracious Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. We envision, through the power of prayer, the development of an attitude of expectation when we gather to worship. We envision worship as a celebration of the giving of our time, gifts, talents, finances and even our life’s breath for the glory of God.
