Missions

Missions at Northbridge manifest themselves in a number of ways:

WMU - Women's Missionary Union, Founded in 1888, Woman's Missionary Union is an auxiliary of the Southern Baptist Convention that seeks to equip adults, youth, children and preschoolers with missions education to become radically involved in the mission of God. Headquartered in Birmingham, Ala., WMU is a nonprofit organization that offers an array of missions resources including conferences, ministry ideas and models, volunteer opportunities, curriculum for age-level organizations, leadership training, books and more. WMU at Northbridge meet on the third Monday of the month in the homes of the members.

 
Mission Friends - Mission Friends is the church missions organization of WMU for preschoolers ages birth through prefirst. The primary objective of Mission Friends is to provide a strong foundation for preschoolers in a Christian and missions lifestyle. Mission Friends provides developmentally appropriate missions learning experiences to help preschoolers move from a self-centered focus to a focus on others, to become aware that not everyone knows about God's love, and to understand ways they can help others know about this good news! Mission Friends at Northbridge meet Wednesday evenings from 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.

 
Mobilization Team - The Mobilization Team at Northbridge takes the charge from Acts 1:8 to take the gospel to Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria and to the outermost parts of the earth. Northbridge has recently adopted a five year project, which will take us to places such as Charleston, SC (Jerusalem), Beaufort, SC (Judea), Atlanta, GA (Samaria), and London, England (outermost parts of the earth).  Soon, you will find more information within our website about our Mission Strategy.
 
Outermost Parts Project - The mission of spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the local, state and national audience is no less important than the effort to share it with the world.  But the results are undeniably AWESOME!  Northbridge believes that the nation of Israel is God's chosen people and we believe the verse in Genesis that says whoever blesses you I will bless and whoever curses you I will curse.  Missions in Israel has found a place in the Northbridge ministry.
