In the NAB Northwest we believe there is significant value in like-minded churches linking arms to become partners in the spread of the gospel. In fact, the Apostle Paul not only states this to the Philippians but he also demonstrated it's importance in the amount of time he spent rallying the churches throughout Asia Minor to help relieve the suffering of the believers in Jerusalem.
"I thank my God in all my remembrance of you, always in every prayer of mine for you all making my prayer with joy, because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now." Philippians 1:3-4
We believe the family of God is bigger than any one of our local congregations and that we can more effectively spread the gospel in the Northwest by partnering together than we can alone. By supporting each other in prayer, encouragement, resources, and regular fellowship we can spur one another on to be Great Commission healthy churches. Together we can more effectively train pastors, missionaries, and gospel workers for ministry in the local church and all around the world. And together we can more effectively train, assess, and send out workers into the harvest, that Jesus' church would multiply into more disciples-making congregations.
