2011 what an amazing year for North Ridge Church

It was about 16 months ago when we started North Ridge Church, since we began we have seen God do things that we had only dreamed would happen. Our church began with just a few friends who had a unified vision to see people come to faith in Jesus Christ and live out the mission of God through their lives. This vision has now become a reality. We have seen in those months over 75 people come to faith in Christ and 48 people baptized. The spiritual growth that we have seen in the lives of our people has been amazing. Our attendance that began with our launch team of just a few friends has now grown into a body of believers that is over 300 people involved in our church and an average of over 200 people gathering weekly to worship.

The part that is even more amazing is how God has allowed us to go out and serve our community. We have sent out over 100 people every Second Sunday morning during 2011 through our Take It To The Street Sundays (www.takeittothestreets.tv) and have impacted the lives of thousands. There has been over 200 different people in 2011 go out from our church and serve through Take It To The Streets. We have see homeless people get off the streets, teenage girls in a children's home find hope in Jesus, women who are recently out of prison give their lives to follow Jesus, and we fed thousands of people in need. Another amazing project that we had the privilege of leading in our area was called LOVE GAVE FOOD (www.lovegave.com). This was an amazing experience where we engaged almost 200 volunteers from our church to raise over $30,000 to provide almost 70,000 meals this Christmas! For a church that has just started a little over a year ago we have been able to do things that I only dreamed were possible. Something that we have learned from the life of Jesus and from experience is when you send people out their hearts are set of fire for the Kingdom of God!

We believe that we are only at the beginning of what God wants to do through the people of North Ridge Church. We believe that there are thousands that will come to know God through this body of believers and we believe that God has thousands in need all over this city who we are called to go and serve. 2012 is going to be amazing, so join the movement of life change! www.northridgejackson.com
