Northgate

Worship is our response to who God is. It is only in His presence that we find our true identity. In Ezekiel 44:4, the Word says that Ezekiel met the Lord at the north gate and fell face down. From the place of total surrender the Lord called him up and shared with him what he was supposed to do.

Not only is our ministry name derived from these verses, our purpose also is found here. We believe that surrendered worship is where we give the Lord the glory due Him, and where we receive from Him strength and direction in order to fulfill our God-given call.

Our desire is to be that place where people can experience the Lord the way that Ezekiel did.
