A New Chapter in Gospel Partnership

Awaken Northshore

In 2019, several pastors and church leaders noticed an anomaly on the Northshore. Specifically, the Northshore has a sizable number of Gospel-minded churches that exist largely in isolation from one another. In an effort to bring those churches together as the body of Christ, Awaken Northshore was born. For four years, Awaken held public, outdoor gatherings to bring churches in St. Tammany together for God’s glory and the good of our parish.

Discovering a Need

Despite our shared commitment to the Gospel, several things became clear in that time:

  • Partnering with other churches and Christian denominations risks friction–it’s hard!
  • While our heart for the lost and for Christ was the same, our strategies were often out of sync.
  • And yet, John 17:20-21 is still in the Bible. Unity among Christians in local geographies is an absent apologetic in most American towns.

A New Approach

As a result, we committed to pray together, specifically for the Church and for the lost of St. Tammany Parish. As we did, we sought input and wisdom from Christ Together, a ministry that helps local churches partner together for the Gospel. Through a two-year process of prayer and conversation, it became clear that a new approach was needed.

Frequently Asked Questions

While we agree that secondary and tertiary issues still carry incredible importance that bring necessary distinctions to our various denominations and ministries, the Northshore Gospel Network has prayerfully chosen to base its affiliation on one theological and two missiological convictions. Theologically, we are 'gospel-centered', believing that all are sinful and separated from God but can be declared righteous through repentance and faith in the finished work of Jesus' death and resurrection in our place rather than trusting in anything we can accomplish in our own power. Through that gospel-centered lens, we hold to two missiological commitments. Every member of the network is committed to an outward-facing, evangelistic ministry as they look for contextually-specific ways to share the good news of Jesus Christ with their community. Secondly, every network church also shares a commitment to robust discipleship within their congregation, developing and deploying systems and care to see every member increasingly 'conformed to the image of the Son' (Romans 8:29).
