Mission Outreach
Mission is an important and active part of life at Northminster. We try to find and offer ways that our own congregation members can actively engage in hands-on mission activity. Our Spotlight on Mission program focuses on a specific Mission need and offers educational and hands-on opportunities related to the specific Spotlight.
Please contact the Rev. Ann Rosewall for information on, or to help with, any of this year's Spotlights on Mission.
