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.

This is a special additional week of Covenant Home Altar devotions from Linda Gilmore, reflecting on God’s mercy and forgiveness. Through Scripture and stories from everyday life, Gilmore considers how God’s mercy shapes the way we understand forgiveness, community, and our own response to God’s grace.
