PROJECT 16:49

MISSIONS AND OUTREACH

We are a body of people who believe that Jesus Christ is Lord — meaning that God lived on earth in the form of Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus Christ taught us how to live, died for our sins, rose from the dead, and now sits at the right hand of the Father. Our congregation consists of people from every race, of many languages and nationalities (about 25 nations represented on a typical Sunday morning!), of all ages, educational levels, marital statuses, and economic levels. We are all sinners who have thrown ourselves on the grace of God, and we live with a joy and peace because God graciously forgives. God’s Holy Spirit lives in us, and changes us from what we should otherwise be without Him.

Mission information: 

Northcott Neighborhood House, named after Bishop Northcott, is a faith based, nonprofit organization founded by three United Methodist Women 64 years ago. They saw a need and worked to create this community cornerstone for Milwaukee which has served thousands. 


Mr. Tony Kearney, the Executive director’s goal is to create educational training to help people out of poverty. Northcott Neighborhood House is one of the National Mission Institutes of United Women In Faith. 


The goals are to care for children, educate and develop youth, create economic opportunities, transform neighborhoods, and provide housing. He states,” teach them to fish so they can teach others”. 


Programs include:

  • Milwaukee Builds Construction Training (Build with Love). Rehab is done on homes built prior to 1978 that contain asbestos. 
  • An Arbor Program has certification and college credits. 
  • They also have a Landscape Design Program. 
  • All programs offer opportunities for lifelong skills for people in poverty. 80% of persons coming through their programs are former felons who succeed in transitioning back into the community because they can receive training to reenter the workforce. Students leave these programs with skills and knowledge to assure they are sought after employees. Employers work with Northcott and are committed to these projects. 
  • Northcott Neighborhood House Emergency Food Pantry & Stockbox Programs believe that every person has a right to adequate food, obtained with dignity. Vegetables are raised at NNH in their own hydroponics planters.


Contributions help Northcott Neighborhood House deliver job trainings, keep the food pantry stocked, and lift the spirit of the whole community.
