World Passion Week
World Passion Week | "Unreached: Taking the Gospel Where it is Not Yet Known"
Sunday, April 19–Saturday, April 25
From the beginning, God's mission has been about making Himself known.
Yet today, millions of people still live without access to the name of Jesus, with no church nearby, no Bible in their language, and no one to tell them the good news. During World Passion Week, we invite you to step into that reality in a fresh and meaningful way. Our theme this year, "Unreached: Taking the Gospel Where it is Not Yet Known," reminds us that the gospel cannot be believed unless it is heard, and it cannot be heard unless someone is sent.
WHAT CAN I EXPECT DURING WORLD PASSION WEEK? Our annual World Passion Week features a unique time of worship on Sunday morning focused on missions and events throughout the week to further engage in God's work around the globe. We also kick off our annual Faith Promise Campaign during World Passion Week to collect pledges for all the funds needed for our outreach budget over the next year.
SUNDAY, APRIL 19
Join us for a unique time of Sunday morning worship through music, scripture, and media at 9 or 10:35 a.m., either in person or online, as we reflect on God's heart for those who have never heard the gospel.
During this service, we’ll share a special story about strategies Northwest partners have used to engage unreached people groups, and then look ahead at some exciting new ways we believe God is calling us to help take the message of Jesus to places where it is not yet known.
Virtual Reality Mission Experience:
Step into a new perspective through our 10-minute Virtual Reality Mission Experience without leaving the Northwest campus! This immersive opportunity allows you to see up close how one of our global partners is sharing the gospel and planting churches in communities around the world. You will be transported beyond the walls of our church and into the everyday realities of the mission field. RSVPs are not required.
SUNDAY, APRIL 19
You’re invited to a celebration dinner on Sunday, April 19! Dinner will be in the CLC at 5:30 pm. At 6:30 pm, the service will begin in the Worship Center as we celebrate stories of our missions partners over the past year. Register today to save your seat.

FAITH PROMISE
CAMPAIGN
Northwest’s annual outreach budget is based solely on the total number of dollars promised through our Faith Promise Campaign each year beginning with World Passion Week. We invite you to participate in God's work around the globe by completing the pledge card online. If you prefer a physical card, you can find one during Sunday morning worship beginning April 19 or contact the church. Physical cards may be returned via mail or in person at the church offices or on Sunday morning. Cards must be submitted by Sunday, May 10 to be included in the outreach budget for next fiscal year, which begins July 1, 2026.
What does the Outreach budget
at Northwest support?
We have five high investment areas: Latin America, Guatemala, South Asia, South Sudan, and the Northwest Community Center in Vickery Meadow, here in Dallas. Each year, we send short-term trips to help support our partners on the ground. In addition to our refugee outreach at the Northwest Community Center, we support 75 missions partners across 6 continents.
