A weekly rhythm for every disciple.

ENGAGE. CONNECT. SERVE.

Every week at Northampton we lean into three expectations that help us grow as disciples:

Engage in worship
Connect in community
Serve with purpose.

This simple rhythm helps you gauge your own spiritual health and stay aligned to what matters most. Three steps, 
ONE mission, to LOVE God, LOVE people and MAKE disciples!

Let’s grow TOGETHER!
Join the ONE Commitment

ENGAGE every week

Worship with your church family at Northampton.

Expectation:
Make it your goal and priority to be present in worship every week.

Why it matters:
Worship re-centers us (our hearts, our priorities, our identity).
It’s where we gather together to worship, hear from God's Word, encourage each other, give of the time, talents and treasure entrusted to us, and remember we belong to something bigger.

Walk it out:
Join us this Sunday at 11:00AM
In you're new, plan your visit here!

Self-Check:
• Did I prioritize gathering with my church this week?
• Did I come ready to listen, grow, and respond?
• Did I invite anyone to join me?
• Did I live a lifestyle of worship throughout the week?

CONNECT every week

Take a relational step toward community.

Expectation:
Every week, intentionally connect with someone in the church.
This could be your LIFE group, a ministry team, coffee with a friend, or encouraging a new person.

Why it matters:
You can’t grow if you walk alone. Connect One keeps you known, supported, and accountable.

Walk it out:
• Connect with your LIFE group
• Be intentional in your relationships
Explore LIFE Group options

Self-Check:
• Did I meaningfully connect with someone this week?
• Did I follow up with someone in my group or ministry?
• Did I welcome or encourage someone new?

SERVE every week

Use your gifts to build up the church and bless others.

Expectation:
Regularly serve in a ministry and be intentional in recognizing opportunities to serve someone during the week in the process of making disciples.

Why it matters:
We are most like Jesus when we serve. Serving keeps our faith active and others-focused.

Walk it out:
• Discover your SHAPE for ministry
• Serve as you're gifted
Connect to a Ministry Team

Self-Check:
• Did I serve on a team this week or prepare to serve next week?
• Did I use my gifts for the good of others?
• Did I practice generosity, kindness, or hospitality in Jesus’ name?
