Local Outreach
We are a church that is on the move, meeting the needs of the ‘Ville.
Through the power of partnership, we connect our stakeholders to partners in our city that bring peace and prosperity to those in need. Our hope is that everyone at Northeast has a regular serving opportunity where they can expand God’s Kingdom by unleashing the love of Jesus.
“The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.” - Matthew 25:40
