Missions at North Park Church
At North Park Church, our commitment to missions reflects our desire to share the love of Christ both locally and globally. We believe that the Great Commission calls us to be active participants in God’s work in the world.
Hurricane Helene
On Tuesday November 12, a second trip from NPC is traveling back to the mountains of NC providing much needed supplies to the victims of Hurricane Helene. On Monday, November 11 at 9:00 a.m. we need no less than 15 volunteers to join Gary Miller, Phil Van Sickel and Laura Daly at NPC, to help with sorting, packing, and loading of all the donations into boxes and into Gary’s trailers for the trip down south.
At this time, the request is for “Most Needed Items” but Gary and Phil have made multiple disaster relief contacts in the area so they will be able to utilize your donation(s) of any kind that is listed on the Hearts With Hands list (see below). There is also an opportunity for you to donate funds directly on Give-Send-Go, so they can purchase some other big ticket items, like chainsaws.
Most Needed Supplies:
- Buddy Heaters
- Propane Tanks for Buddy Heaters
- Manual Can Openers
- Laundry Detergent
- Dish Soap
- Razors for Shaving
- Shampoo
- Dry Shampoo
- Over the Counter Nasal Spray, Allergy Medicine, Ibuprofen

Full list available from Hearts With Hands website.

Lebanon
North Park Church has also partnered with the Philemon Project in Beirut, Lebanon to provide a safe, affordable Christian daycare to the children of refugees, migrant workers, and the working poor.
