Ministry Priorities
CONGREGATIONAL VITALITY
Congregational Vitality is a result of the living God breathing new life into the heart of a congregation.
Vitality is the wind of the Spirit … “a rushing wind so wild and strong,” as the old hymn goes. Our role is to raise our sails and catch this wind.
Vitality is nothing less than a spiritual awakening in Christ. It is not about sustaining and maintaining; it’s about thriving, growing and depending on God to lead us deeper in Christ and further in mission.
CHURCH PLANTING
Church Planting is a Biblical pattern for mission. Your church is part of a rich history. It was started at one point in time. And because it was, each of you has been touched. So have untold others through the years.
Now we have the opportunity to do for others what others first did for us. We can take the same spirit that founded our existing congregations and establish other congregations committed to living out the hope of Jesus Christ in word and deed.
CHILDREN, YOUTH & FAMILY
The goal of NWC Children, Youth & Family Ministries is to promote shared growth in our churches by offering strategic training, support and resources for those serving in these ministry areas.
The Northwest Conference also collaborates with local churches to create events that directly impact children and youth.

My home church community—Kingdom City—is predominantly African / African American and pan-South American, and is located near Houston’s International District. […]

Where do you call home these days—and what does community look like for you there? For the past year, I have been living in Chicago (just two blocks away from North Parth University/Theological Seminary).

As MLK Day approaches, Covenant pastor Rich Johnson (Morehouse College Martin Luther King Jr. Board of Preachers) reflects on Micah 4, inviting readers to “dream the impossible” with God’s promised future—where swords become plowshares and all people live unafraid under God’s reign.
