Welcome to Northgate Community Church. We are a non-denominational, Spirit-filled community church located in Montgomery Village, Maryland, ready to serve you and your family as you join us in the worship of our risen Lord, Jesus Christ.

Come and join us in celebrating the presence and glory of our Lord!

Our Mission: Advancing God’s Kingdom by sharing the good news of Christ and making ever growing disciples yielded to the Holy Spirit! By God’s grace, we aim to be a community of others-focused champions walking together as brothers and sisters in Christ in such a way that equips us to believe for, reach toward, and walk out God’s destiny for our lives.

Worship is an outpouring of our hearts to God, not only in gratitude for all He has provided for our lives, but for who He is. As we offer up all that we have to Him in praise, He offers all that He has to us in love.

How God is Changing Our Lives

• Nima Mahjourian testifies, “Through the prayers of my sisters and brothers, God touched the heart of people to use my business as their contractor. I received many calls from people to bid on their projects and some went through. He also changed me by showing me that I need to rely on him and not rely on my mind/intelligence. I believe that the prayer of a righteous man gets results. No doubt that the prayers of righteous men and women of God helped my family and me a lot.”
• Adwoa in Ghana emails, “We praise God! I can never finish thanking you for all the seeds you have planted in the Marfo Children Care Foundation Village in Ghana. Four siblings, who had recently lost their parents, arrived at the home last December. They are doing great. They love school and are filled with joy as they go off to school in the morning. Yaw, our very first baby who arrived at the home at the age of three months, is now nine months old, crawling everywhere and has four beautiful white teeth. He is the first person the four siblings look for upon their arrival from school. At the end of the day I am so fulfilled no matter the challenges we face each day. Please continue to pray for us as the foundation is built upon prayers. We thank you for all the support. Marfo Children Care Foundation loves you all very dearly!”
• College Student Jessica Lyman asked the congregation to pray for her as she was taking final exams. Jessica gives praise to God that she passed all her courses in this term of her pre-med study!
• Marcus Walker and his Mom, Jenifer gives praise to God! One day recently when Marcus was at his public school, he was attending the school Book Fair. Another student came up to Marcus and tried to convince him to steal at the Book Fair. Marcus said, “No, the Bible says stealing is wrong and the school handbook says stealing is wrong.” The other student said, “Well, everybody does it!” Marcus still said, “No it’s wrong.” The other kid got real mad at him and walked away. Although Marcus said he wasn’t aware that any teacher or staff person heard this conversation, Marcus’s mother sent an email account of what happened to Marcus’s teachers and principal the following morning. We praise God that he helped Marcus to withstand the temptation from a peer!
• On Sunday mornings prior to church we gather for prayer and ask God to make us ready to worship him with all our hearts. Jacky Johnson recently testified that as she came to church her back was really giving her pain. However, she gave herself in worshiping God with the congregation and, as she worshiped, she noticed that the pain had gone away – God had healed her back! Throughout the following week she also continued to experience God’s healing.
