Our Vision
Connect with God
in transformative spiritual lives
Connect with Each Other
in a loving family that grows together
Connect with Our Neighbors
in caring outreach in our communities and the world
As you see, our threefold vision centers around the idea of "Connect." We seek to Connect with God, Connect with One Another, and Connect with our Neighbor. We hope this vision is part of changing the paradigm and culture of our congregation for generations to come. "Connect" is not so much a gameplan or a strategy or a filter as much as it is a posture. Connecting does not assume an outcome or demand a response; it is an invitation, a pursuit of relationship. Connecting is not in a hurry nor is it anxious. Connecting is more about imagination than pragmatism, more about wonder than efficiency. We believe this is exactly the sort of posture we need to train ourselves to adopt. In this high-octane, far too busy world of movement and production, of bombardment with sights and sounds, we hope slowing down enough to connect will open us up to more wisely consider the most important question: "What is God up to in our lives?"We aim for Northwest to continually become a loving family that is centered around discerning the will of God and movement of the Spirit, so that we might be faithful witnesses to the gospel in our community. We hope that our deep prayer, study, and spiritual practices permeate well beyond the confines of a Sunday morning.
