Want to Volunteer?
Northgate is the outreach arm of Northcity Church, providing practical support, connection and opportunities for people to explore faith in Christ.
Our programmes are made possible by an incredible team of volunteers, and we're always looking for passionate people to join us. If you are interested in serving, we'd love to invite you to experience one of our programmes first as a member of the community. From there, we can have a conversation about your interest, strengths, and where you might best fit within a team.
As a Northgate volunteer, you'll have the opportunity to:
-
Make a meaningful difference in the lives of others
-
Build relationships within our community
-
Develop new skills and grow your confidence
-
Be part of a supporting and encouraging team
-
Help create spaces where people feel valued, connected and welcomed
All volunteers are required to complete a volunteer agreement and onboarding process to ensure a safe and positive experience for everyone involved.
If you'd like to explore volunteering with Northgate, we'd love to hear from you.
