Budget and Revenue

As Covid-19 swept the globe, left many communities in need of resources and hope, our Northshore family responded with exponential impact by giving away over $1M to support local families, nonprofits and global ministry partners. We did all of this because we truly believe that Jesus can change everything for anyone.

Vision House

Our region has always faced a housing crisis, and COVID-19 has only made it worse on families struggling to get by. Those needs in our community are exactly why we are so excited to continue partnering with Vision House, an organization that has helped those facing housing insecurity get back their feet. Recently, because of the generosity of our Northshore family, we were able to give Vision House $60,000 to help build 10 new apartments, which they hope to move families into over the next few months.

Life Care Center

Since the COVID-19 outbreak first reached the Seattle area, we've been finding opportunities to continue being a church that is together for our neighbors. It all started with our partnership with the Life Care Center of Kirkland, where many of the first cases were confirmed in our state. As a church family, we've been able to provide over 2,000 meals for their staff over the last month, all so that they could continue doing their amazing work of taking care of others.

Woodinville Storehouse

Thanks to your generosity, we were able to surpass our goal of 1,500 bags and collect 2,100 bags of groceries for families in need, all in one day! We are so encouraged that especially in a time of heightened stress, tension and need, we can count on our church family to come through to care for those around them.

Toy Shop

Every year, we invite families from our community to join us for an event called Toy Shop. This year, we were able to collect 3,000 toys to bless over 300 local families. After Toy Shop, families are invited back to attend a Sunday morning breakfast with their host, many of whom go on to become active at Northshore.

Families partnered with

This year, we were able to partner with 300 families with kids in leading the next generation into life-changing relationships with Jesus. From baby dedication, to Kids Summer Adventure, and everything in between, we are honored to come alongside both parents and kids, equipping them with the resources to grow in relationships with God and each other!

“While participating in KSA BOLT, my three kids made the life-changing decision to give their lives to Jesus and be baptized. Their baptisms at Northshore were truly special and will be remembered forever.” - Tamryn, Parent

While transitioning to operate online, our Student Ministry came up with new and creative ways to engage with middle and high school students. This year, we were able to partner with 234 families with students to help young people find and follow Jesus.

“The Student Ministry has been able to bring on new, fun and creative ideas for how I can grow in the relationships that have been incredibly influential in my life; with my peers, leaders and God” - Student

attended Starting Point

Starting Point helps people in our Northshore family, both new and old, grasp our mission and vision, and discover life-giving ways to be an active part of our church community. Whether in person or over Zoom, this year, our Starting Point experience helped 120 people learn more about Northshore, get connected in Life Groups and start serving.

“I wanted to learn more about Northshore and to get to know the community! Since we moved to Kirkland right as churches went virtual, we were not able to visit any churches, so this was our way of visiting.” - Kate, Starting Point Online

LIFE GROUPS

708

ADULTS IN LIFE GROUPS

Life groups provide people from all walks of life the opportunity to connect and have spiritual conversations with one another. In a season where many are feeling more isolated, Life Groups are more important than ever. Through the pandemic, all of our Life Groups have shifted to virtual meetings and are welcoming new people into their communities, some of whom have never stepped foot on our physical campus.

Be the Bridge

As we continue talking about racial reconciliation as a church community, we’re encouraging our Northshore family to do some learning in this area. In the past year, we had 22 people participate in Be the Bridge groups and have 127 involved in our Bridge Builders ministry. Pastor Scotty also participated in a roundtable discussion with three other local pastors: Pastor Anthony Ballard, Pastor Harvey Drake and Dr. Scott Dudley. They discussed injustice, racism, lament and what our response as Christians should look like.



We keep Jesus at the center.

Alpha

125

Even with restrictions in place, we were able to see over 100 people through Alpha, where they could explore their faith and ask questions in a safe space. Jesus is still changing lives here in the Puget Sound and beyond, and we are thrilled to be part of that mission.

PEOPLE PARTICIPATED IN ALPHA

“For me, it was a nice transition back into the Church. It felt like a much safer space than the previous times I've made the attempt and provided some encouragement that church can be a supportive environment. I have been attending online services, and it is my current plan to attend Northshore once I've moved up there.“ - Alpha Participant

SHORT-TERM TEAMS SENT OUT

A team from Northshore travelled to India in February to continue our partnership with YWAM and train local pastors and lay leaders at the Living Waters Training Center in Patalpani. They also ministered to the children in the slum schools and visited the site where land has been set aside for a permanent school.

“We visited the school at the Ambamoliya slum. It serves children from the slum as well as children from the surrounding community. Notably, a Hindu came to inspect the school and observed to the principal that ‘[she] must be Christian, because only Christians do this work.’” - Mission Trip Participant
