Dorothy Allport Network Mission Offering
The Dorothy Allport Network Mission Offering honors the extraordinary legacy of Dorothy Allport, a faithful servant who dedicated her life to strengthening the local church. Through decades of volunteer leadership with NorthStar Church Network and lifelong service at First Baptist Church of Alexandria, Dorothy modeled humble leadership, unwavering faithfulness, and a deep love for God's people.
Established in 2009 by our Network, this annual offering celebrates Dorothy's unwavering commitment to Christ and His Church. Just as she faithfully served throughout her life, this offering equips NorthStar churches to advance the gospel through missions, church planting, and ministry partnerships.
