North Lake United Methodist Church supports many missions, both locally and globally. Through these missions, our church family makes positive spiritual and material differences in the lives of many people.

In addition to paying one hundred per cent of our annual apportionments, our church is among a small, select group of Mission Spotlight Churches, supporting mission outreach in each of seven categories. Also, our United Methodist Women support many missions.
