The Northwest church of Christ is an active congregation. We believe that Christ's desire is that all who are members of His body would be actively involved in the work of the church. Paul said "For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them" (Ephesians 2:10). For that reason this congregation has a number of ministries to help get the church involved. All of these ministries are centered around the work that Christ has detailed for us in Scripture. You will find opportunities to learn, teach, encourage, be encouraged, and evangelize. Take a look at the list below to see what ministries are taking place and Northwest.

Launch
One of the new young adult groups which is geared more towards the recently graduated or younger members of the congregation is titled Launch. This strong word is symbolic for that unique stage of life in which former youth are launching into adulthood, college, careers or families. More importantly, we see this group as launching into the solidification of their own faith, learning what their talents are and how to use them to serve the church and grow the Kingdom.
-
Pathfinders
The name Pathfinder is used in order to encourage this core group of young adults towards developing their leadership roles in the church, which includes honing their talents and taking on or creating events for them to lead, such as the monthly ladies Bible study. From within this group, we expect to find future elders, deacons, teachers, elder’s and deacon’s wives.

Jail ministry
The gospel has the power to change lives and it is needed by all. We truly believe that and in attempt to take the gospel to everyone Northwest has a jail ministry. Several members of Northwest go to the local jail every Sunday to teach those who are inmates. This work is a blessing to those who desire to turn their lives around and start living for God. Our prayer is that God will be glorified by this ministry and we believe He is.
-
Fort Sill ministry
One of the great works of Northwest is possible because we are right by the Fort Sill Army base. Every Sunday Mark, David Sexton (along with a team of volunteers) go out to Fort Sill and conduct worship service for those who are in training. This time they spend with the soldiers is of great importance. It gives an opportunity for members of the church to worship throughout their training and it is also serves as a great evangelistic opportunity. Many soldiers learn of God's word and many are baptized into Christ though this ministry. It truly is a blessing to those soldiers and also this congregation.
