Mission Partners
Local and Global
Our mission is to connect people to Jesus and to one another. Everything we do is an effort to accomplish this mission.
We strive to accomplish this mission by focusing in four areas: families, schools, businesses, neighbors. These areas represent four elements of action that are measurable and practical.
We desire to live out the biblical model in Acts 1:8, “And you will be my witnesses, telling people about me everywhere, in Jerusalem, throughout Judea, in Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”
In other words, we will start with the local church, within a 25 mile radius, and then expand our outreach and influence for Jesus.

What is the GIVE SERVE LOVE Campaign?
We began this campaign in 2017. The idea was adopted from Northpoint Community Church in Alpharetta, GA. There are many churches nationwide that facilitate a simlilar campaign each year to benefit both local and global non-profits that are making a difference in their communities. North Webster Community Church has partnered with 22 non-profits since 2017 and has given away nearly $1,000,000. 100% of all donations are given away to our selected partners. In addition, we have collected and delivered over 23 tons of food to local pantries! To give towards the campaign, select the GIVE NOW button at the top of our web page or follow this LINK. Below is our list of partners for 2026.

Campaign dollars are used to provide the LifePump hardware, spare parts, and training, while our trusted implementing partners provide funding for well drilling and installation.
