The Goal: To rebuild our Worship Center

What is the ReBuild Initiative?

The ReBuild Initiative is an effort by Northway Church to rebuild the Worship Center that was destroyed by a tornado in 2019. In October of 2022, we raised $6 million in pledges for the initiative and have been taking steps towards rebuilding since then. We are asking everyone who calls Northway home to consider joining us in this goal. If you are new to Northway or haven’t been a part of the initiative, we would invite you to join us on the journey of rebuilding! Our goal was and always has been 100% participation, whether that means a gift of $1/month or $1,000/month. We hope you see this as an opportunity to invest in what the Lord is doing and will do for generations to come at Northway. Had it not been for faithful men and women who came before us, we would not have the facilities we currently use. This is our chance to invest in the gospel work the Lord has for this corner of Marsh and Walnut Hill.

Where are we now?

We have received our civil engineering permits from the City of Dallas and have submitted the building plans for review. We hope to have all of our permits in-hand by the end of October. Unfortunately, since the beginning of the initiative, we have seen prices and interest rates significantly increase. Due to these factors, we need to raise additional funds prior to commencing construction instead of borrowing more money. We continue to seek God for wisdom in this effort and to seek buy-in from the church body. We ask and encourage you to pray with us during this time.

Can I still contribute?

Yes, you can! In October 2022, we asked anyone who calls Northway home to commit to giving to ReBuild monthly, above and beyond their tithe through December 2025. If you haven't given financially to ReBuild, we ask that you pray to see if the Spirit is guiding you to participate with us in this effort. We would love to have you join us on this journey towards rebuilding our Worship Center!

We are rebuilding what was destroyed by a tornado in 2019. We believe that rebuilding the Worship Center is an eternal investment that will impact generations to come, just as Northway Baptist Church members before us gifted us with our current space.
