Thanks for exploring the opportunities to serve at North Avenue.

Serving is one of the activities where our mission and our vision gain expression and find traction. We know that God has gifted each of us in unique ways and that serving within that gifting is a key ingredient to living a satisfied and fruitful life. Take a look at the opportunities listed on this page and let us know if you need any help finding your place at North Avenue.

North Avenue has three key focuses at this time, which are represented by the acronym NEW. When you serve, you ENGAGE, which is one of our key focuses. Engaging the Congregation to share our gifts and passions. By serving where your gifting best matches the opportunities at North Avenue, you are right in the center of what God has called us to focus on at this time.

When Do We Know We Have A Spiritual Gift?

When do we know that we have a spiritual gift?  It’s when we do something that seems natural to us, we like doing it, and we see results from it.  Sometimes, though, God calls us to step out in faith and try something we normally wouldn’t even think of!  We encourage you to explore all the different opportunities to serve, knowing that you will be supported and encouraged along the way!

The Gifts Test provides you with an opportunity to identify which of the spiritual gifts make up your profile. Your results are private and designed to be a guide rather than a definitive list. We have used the same list of gifts to compile the “Suggested Spiritual Gifts” sections below each area of service. Click HERE to take the test.

Desta Ethiopian Kitchen is my favorite restaurant! I recommend it because it’s different from typical American cuisine and has menu options that cater to a variety of preferences. The food is always fresh and tasty. I love the potent and savory flavors. The food is not just good it’s Instagram post worthy. Any family can enjoy the delicious sharable portions served here!
