The Mountains Ahead

In 1804 Lewis and Clark thought they would crest the continental divide and coast downriver to the Pacific Ocean. Instead they learned that everything they knew and thought and were prepared for was wrong. Their canoes couldn't get them across the Rocky Mountains. Today, the church finds itself in a similar situation. Christendom has passed, we live in a truly secular age, and young people want spirituality without organized religion or faith communities. And yet, we believe that Jesus will keep his word that the gates of Hades will never persevere against his kingdom. At Northwest, will must be ready to learn the new way of living as Christians as we go into the mountains. We will not go without the Spirit. We will listen for new ideas and new vision. And we will experiment and adventure in our faith with a willingness to repeatedly fail so that some might be saved. Are you ready to get out of the boat and go adventuring with God in the mountains?
