Deacon
Parag Roshan
Parag's top three favorite things are JESUS, Praising JESUS, and encouraging others in the Name of JESUS, in that order! Born and
raised here in Manteca, Parag graduated from Manteca High and later received an associate degree in Nursing from Modesto Junior College. He and his family have been members of Northgate Community Church since 2014. He is also one of the members of our amazing Greeting Team.
Everyone wants to know that they Belong.
Everyone wants to know that they are Welcome. And most importantly, everyone wants to know that they are LOVED. His desire is for anyone who comes through our doors to be Greeted and Welcomed by the LOVE of JESUS.

Overseer
Deb Atherton
Deb is tasked with protecting our
Brethren doctrine and keeping her head rooted in God's Word. She is also schooled on our communal heritage and distinct Brethren posture.
You will often find Deb greeting on Sunday mornings and serving in our kitchen as her desire is that all who attend Northgate feel welcomed. Her favorite Northgate value is "Being Known" and she seeks to facilitate relationships so that all present will find deep, forgiving, mutual love that only comes through genuine connection and prayer.
Make sure to grab a cup of coffee with Deb, she would love to discuss Jesus and Northgate with you.
