Our Mission

Helping People Find Freedom

That is what we are all about at North Hills! We believe that people are imprisoned emotionally, relationally, and spiritually. Our goal is to help them find the freedom that Jesus came to give them. We believe we were made to live life to the fullest! We have taken on the mission Jesus set out to fulfill:

God’s Spirit is on me; He’s chosen me to preach the Message of good news to the poor, sent me to announce pardon to prisoners and recovery of sight to the blind, to set the burdened and battered free, to announce, “This is God’s year to act!”
Luke 4:18-19 The Message

As people come to experience this freedom, we’re here to help them engage! There are three parts of this engaging process. We need to:

Engage With God
Engage Each Other
Engage Our World

This concept is also very motivated by scripture. Jesus says it this way:

“The most important commandment is this: ‘Listen, O Israel! The Lord our God is the one and only Lord. And you must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your mind, and all your strength.’ The second is equally important: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ No other commandment is greater than these.”
Mark 12:29-31 NLT

That covers the first and second part of the engage process; figuring out how to love God with everything we have (we call that “Engage with God”) and how to love others – really love them (we call that “Engage Each Other”). We want to help people on their journey to become His followers in this way.

Then, Jesus gave us marching orders. As He was preparing to leave this earth, He told us,

“Go into all the world and preach the Good News to everyone.”
Mark 16:15 NLT

We need to go! We have a world around us that needs to hear the good news. We need to engage our world! We will do these two things: we will mobilize together for special times to reach North Phoenix; and we will help empower you to reach your community, your country, your world!
