Belonging to and Becoming like Jesus
​
At Northwood United Methodist Church, we believe in planting one seed at a time. We are a Christian church that believes in "belonging to and becoming like Jesus," but what does this actually mean?
​
This simple phrase is the identity of the Northwood Congregation. We stumbled upon this several years ago at a workshop where our leadership was to write a missi

on statement. We’ve been living into it and watching this identity unfold for us. We all belong to Jesus at the initiative and invitation of his grace. Everyone and anyone that walks through our front doors automatically belongs here. This has caused us to open our hearts, open our minds, and open our doors. Becoming like Jesus is a bit more challenging. In fact, it is a lifelong process. Worship, Bible study, prayer, service, and being in fellowship with other people who want to be like Jesus are all ways we find our lives transformed. By serving in our community, we find many opportunities to embody the grace of God and make God's love known to those around us.

🎓📚 To Our College Students... This Is Your Season. 💙

Whether you're moving into a dorm for the first time, returning to campus, beginning graduate school, or taking classes close to home, know this:

God goes with you.

New classrooms. New roommates. New professors. New opportunities. New challenges.

Through every lecture, late-night study session, exam, internship, friendship, and decision, you are never walking alone.

"Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go." — Joshua 1:9

At Northwood United Methodist Church, we're praying for all of our college students as they begin a new semester. We pray that God will give you wisdom, courage, peace, and a community that encourages your faith.

No matter how far you travel, remember—you always have a church family cheering you on and praying for you.

Wherever this semester takes you... God is already there.

How do you know if your church has been blessed with a creative worship coordinator? When the sermon is about Jesus walking on the water, and the worship coordinator finds a way to float a flower on water to tie directly to the text. Thank you, Dennis Wollard!

Sometimes saying YES to God means saying NO to other things first! 🙌 During Lent, we give things up not just to sacrifice, but to make room for what God has planned for us. Just like Jesus said no to temptation so He could say yes to His purpose! What are you saying no to so you can say YES to God's plan?

✏️🎒 A New School Year Begins... 🎒✏️

As students fill their backpacks, teachers prepare their classrooms, and families settle back into routines, we want every child to know one important truth:

You are loved. You are valued. You matter.

At Northwood United Methodist Church, we're praying for every student, teacher, administrator, school employee, and parent as a new school year begins. We pray that this year is filled with opportunities to learn, grow, build friendships, and experience God's love each and every day.

Whether it's your child's very first day of school or their senior year, know that your church family is cheering them on every step of the way.

💙 "Do all the good you can..." — John Wesley

May God bless every hallway, classroom, playground, bus ride, and cafeteria this school year. We're praying for you!

Stop and ask yourself: Am I creating space for God to show up in my life? 📖🙏 Reading Scripture, prayer, pausing in the busyness - these aren't just activities, they're invitations for divine encounters!
