Life Changers
Investing Generously into lives locally and globally
North Heights is a tithing church. Tithing is a biblical principle that we embrace; it means giving God the first fruits of our produce (Proverbs 3:9) or giving a tenth out of all that He has given us (Genesis 28:22). Abraham gave the High Priest Melchidizedek a tenth of everything (Genesis 14: 20 & Hebrews 7: 1). We seek to do the same for our High Priest Jesus.
When followers of Jesus obediently and faithfully invest in God’s mission, lives are changed. This is true on both sides of the equation: for the recipient and the investor.
North Heights practices obedience to the principle of tithing by tithing off your tithe. Life Changers is what we call the 10% we invest into changing lives locally and globally. While 90% funds buildings, staff, ministries (such as the academy, dance, karate, and preschool), and more, Life Changers is invested in three distinct initiatives:
- Global Partners serving around the world
- Local Partners serving our communities here in the Twin Cities
- Partners dedicated to equipping future Christian leaders
Global Partners
North Heights supports around 20 global partners thanks to your generosity!
