NRCC Missions & Outreach

Come join the adventure!

From the shores of Spain, deep into the heart of Africa, throughout exotic Asia, to the jungles of South America, and right here in our own backyard, God's Word is being proclaimed! Families are being healed. Lives are being changed and the Good News of God's love is being shared with all peoples and nations. Journey with us as we join our missionaries, each in the field where God has drawn them and learn what He is doing in the lives of the peoples to whom they minister. Join the adventure and discover how you, the people of North Ridge, are touching the lives of people throughout the world!

NRCC Mission Trips

NRCC-Watoto Mission Trip to Uganda, Africa June 2005

Local Outreach Missions

You don't have to go to another country to serve God, or find someone in need of help.  NRCC has featured many worthy, local outreach mission projects within our community this year.  All of these organizations are examples of our "North Ridgers" at work in the community.  For additional information on any of these local outreach missions, please contact the appropriate NRCC Mission Leader.  You may also contact Laurie Lowe in the Assimilation Office at llowe@northridge.org.
