Missions
In Matthew 28:19–20, Jesus gave Christians the Great Commission, which charged them to go into all the world and spread the gospel. At North Metro Church, we believe that one of the primary roles of the church is to share the good news of Christ with the world.
Make a Difference at Home and Abroad
North Metro Church partners strategically with local and global organizations to meet the practical and spiritual needs of those who need to hear the gospel message. We provide financial support to these partners, but also join their work through projects and short-term mission trips.
Below is a list of our current partnerships. For more information about any of the partnerships and how you can be involved, contact the Missions Team at [email protected].
Disaster Relief
Disaster Relief is an exciting ministry in which volunteers from churches, associations, and state conventions can participate. We never know when a disaster is going to happen. North Metro Church partners with Colorado Baptist Disaster Relief to help when needs arise. Training is provided in the areas of mass feeding, disaster assistance center, shower/laundry, mud out, ash out, chaplaincy, and assessments. For more information or to get involved, contact Cheryl Wood at [email protected].
East Africa and India
In partnership with New Hope Initiative, North Metro Church provides financial and physical support for several projects in East Africa and India.
Arusha, Tanzania
Tanzania is home to two projects supported by North Metro, the Arusha Bible Baptist Academy and the Olorien Community Clinic, which is a well-equipped medical facility that sees up to 3,000 patients on a daily basis. These projects, headed by Pastor Vernon Smith and Dr. Robert Byemba, are helping bring hope, health, and new life to those in Arusha.
Nairobi, Kenya
In the midst of the massive Kibera slum, New Hope Academy is an elementary school for 500 children, as well as a feeding center. The education the children receive prepares them for their secondary school entrance exam. New Hope students who pass the entrance exam will have their secondary school education completely funded by the Kibera Penda Project. The school promises a future and a hope to the children of Kibera.
Project Biashara
Project Biashsara began in 2009 as a way to help women living in Kibera, one of the world’s largest slums, earn an income and provide for their families. What started as a micro-loan project to help these women start small businesses has developed into a full-time, jewelry-making co-op employing more than 30 women from the Kibera slum.
Special Needs Orphanage
The Special Needs Orphanage is a residential home for physically and mentally handicapped children in Southeastern India. The residents are guided on-site by professionally trained and Christ-honoring staff with doctorate-level education in special education. North Metro Church supports the orphanage through its partnership with New Hope Initiative.
Laotian/International Church Plant
Cholo and Victoria Khongrath are church planters working through the North American Mission Board (NAMB) to establish a church in Thornton that reaches the international community in the north metro Denver area. Grace Fellowship International Church meets regularly at North Metro Church.
Operation Christmas Child
Operation Christmas Child is a project of Samaritan’s Purse, an international relief organization. Local churches like North Metro join the mission by volunteering and providing shoeboxes filled with small toys, hygiene items, and school supplies as a means of reaching out to children in their own communities with the Good News of Jesus Christ. The amazing journey of a simple shoebox gift results in evangelism, discipleship, and multiplication.
Rancho el Camino
A place where people ENCOUNTER the Presence of God, are EQUIPPED for the work of God, EXTEND the Kingdom of God, and EXALT the name of God.
North Metro Church partners with Rancho el Camino in La Paz, Mexico to assist as they serve children, youth, and families through recreational ministries, community development initiatives, and training/mentoring programs. North Metro sends teams to the ranch to help on the ranch and minister with camps and outreach. For more information or to express interest in joining a trip, contact Stephen Wood.
