Missions

Northwood has partnered with West Birdville Elementary, a Title 1 school in Haltom City, for over 15 years. We have come alongside their teachers and staff and asked the question, “How can we serve you?” This has manifested in a multitude of ways over the years – from tutoring kids and helping teachers with classroom projects to hosting an annual Fall Festival and Christmas Shoppe. West Birdville is a school we are committed to and love serving.

We believe living and loving like Jesus breaks us out of the comfort zone of our own religious tribe. Nothing results in peace, understanding, and respect faster than when we have friendships with those from different religious and cultural backgrounds. Northwood has partnered with local mosques and synagogues to create small groups that are committed to learning and sharing with one another. There are groups for men and women, and they meet on a monthly basis. Beyond these small groups, Northwood celebrates our friendship with these congregations throughout the year with different events – potlucks lunches, open houses, and much more.

Community Link is a non-profit committed to alleviating hunger by providing, at no charge, food and personal care to those in need. Northwood members have committed to come alongside this organization by volunteering each week in any capacity they may need.

This opportunity is for those who are 13 years of age or older.
Opportunities are available:
Monday – Thursday, 9:00 am – 2:00 pm
Friday, 9:00 am – 12:00 pm.

We serve families in Haltom City by engaging with them through community activities and fellowship. The community we serve is less than 5 miles from Northwood! Many in the community are Spanish-speaking immigrants and are looking to connect with families.

Currently, we host a study club on Wednesday evenings. Our volunteers help children in the neighborhood with their homework and also help develop their reading skills. In the summer we also host fun activities.

We feel it is important for our members to take their faith outside our church walls and to make an impact for Jesus Christ not only in our community but around the world. God has called Northwood to serve the country of Vietnam for over 25 years! Northwood members have been serving communities in Northern Vietnam since 1995. This year, Northwood will send at least 10 teams to Vietnam, impacting multiple areas/domains in each of the communities we serve. Join us to participate in what God is doing around the world!
