Defining Our Mission:

The Northgate Centre for Global Impact (N.C.G.I.) Music  & Performing Arts department is connected to the vision of the corporate tribe i.e. N.C.G.I. We believe that the clarion call for true worshippers has been issued in St. John 4:24: God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in spirit and in truth….

Our desire is to always please the Father’s heart through our worship (lives). Our hearts are set on pilgrimage and we constantly change and upgrade with the present emphasis of the Holy Spirit i.e. “present truth”. We consider our role as an integral and imperative arm of the corporate vision of the Northgate tribe.  

Our vision is global as it relates to worship and we have an extended arm to the Music department known as The Caribbean Praise Network. The Caribbean Praise Network was founded by our Senior Elder, Wesley Boynes and through this medium the Lord has used us to impact lives in the Caribbean and Europe through the area of Worship. 

The days of singing and playing because one has a talent and wants to launch a career on stage “showing off” during worship, has become obsolete. We earnestly believe that in order to express the heart of God through worship we have to be accurately positioned or aligned to lead the people into purposeful activity that produces lives pleasing to God that results in ‘true worship”  

We consider ourselves co-labourers with our Senior Elder, Wesley Boynes. We capture the essence of his teachings and formulate songs to help empower the culture of the Northgate community as we lead them into purposeful worship. As our Senior Elder seeks to build the kingdom culture in our community, we assist in making the process joyful and interesting with songs that encapsulate his teachings. It is a fact that people will remember a song much more easily than a “teaching”, and so we are committed to speeding up the process to the finish at whatever cost or effort is demanded or required of us.  

We have a divine mandate to raise up “Worshipping Intercessors”. Worshipping Intercessors perceive and discern the spiritual conditions of the moment. They sensitize the hearts of the people to the mood or moods of the Holy Spirit and must be able to lead or guide the corporate assembly into militant or aggressive as well as passionate worship.  

We constantly and progressively upgrade because we believe that church (as we know it), is changing and individuals have to change in order to be a part of what God is doing on the face of the earth. We are constantly in the forefront and there is no greater way to lead than being an example. Our revelation of the Lord has to be progressive, and spiritual momentum increases when we engage in and lead people into worship that declares the Majesty, Sovereignty and Rulership of the Lord Jesus Christ.  

Our worship is not centered on the devil and his doings, but on the character and nature of Christ and what He is seeking to build in His church for each phase or season of our purposeful lives to bring on the finish. 

Immediate plans for the Future:

-         The power to summon skill and talented ones and engage them in a process of discipleship and training that will result in them becoming refined and skillful warrior psalmists or governmental worship leaders (G.W.L).

-         The power to send out those warrior psalmists all over the globe. We have determined in our hearts that the God of the nations must be praised in newer, fresher, creative and more powerful ways.

-         The power and ability to develop the Northgate Music and performing Arts ministry at all levels and dimensions. Including: financially, spiritually, numerically, and creatively.

-         The power to network on a global level with other music and performing arts departments of like mind.  

The Northgate Music Ministry will be engaged in the following

Five Key Development Initiatives.

        The Development of the Psalmist Activation Program.

-         This is a strong mentoring program aimed at activating psalmists for the work of the ministry.

-         Those who want to be trained and activated must attend and work with the Northgate Music Department for a three month or six month program which can be extended or shortened based on the rate of development of trainees.

-         This program is being developed by the senior elder in consultations with the Holy Spirit and other key and proven persons in the relevant areas.

        The Development of Governmental Worship Training Camps.

-         Aimed at exposing, updating and imparting to worship leaders, the principles of Governmental Worship.

-         Also used to facilitate the development of relationship with other ministries, ministers and individuals.

-       To be used as an avenue to expose others to the apostolic reformation.

-        To facilitate the impartation of grace and reproducing of the ministries of anointed psalmists.

        The Development of Governmental Worship Tours.

-         To facilitate ‘spiritual invasions’ in conjunction with specially trained and developed prayer teams.

-         To facilitate networking initiatives.

-         To be a practical experience for those enlisted for Psalmist Activation.

-         These tours will be preceded by Training Camps if possible.

        The Development of Multi-Cultural Kingdom Expressions.

-         The Northgate music and performing arts ministry aims to be multi-lingual as much as possible.

-         Our ministry teams, productions, songs and recordings will reflect this objective.

-         Multi - lingual praise events, tours and productions etc. will be conducted.

    A major Three-Day Kingdom Expression Festival is being planned for Ocho Rios, Jamaica in the near future.

-         To facilitate the celebration of core values and present truth.

-         To facilitate the use of the fine arts in kingdom expression.

-         To incorporate a time of training and spiritual refreshing with physical rest and relaxation in the beautiful tourist resort of Ocho Rios.  

Recording Project:

We believe that we have tapped into a Divine Resource at Northgate through our Senior Elder who has encouraged us to do various recordings with the powerful songs that the Lord continues to give to us during our corporate and private time of devotion to Him.

The first one ‘Let’s Change, It’s Worth It’ was recently release on January 1^st, 2003. This is a powerful journey in song and music. The producer and musical arranger is well known Jamaican music personality – Jon Williams.

The pre-release is entitled “It’s Worth It” famously known as “Where You’re taking me to” has already cut a pathway all around the world. This song speaks of our future in God being of greater value than our nostalgic memories. Now it is time for the entire work to be a blessing to you. It has an additional musical piece done by Jon Williams.  Call (876-974-8616) or email for further details.

The building process continues.......

"Lets Change It's Worth It"

N.C.G.I. has been particularly graced in the area of music. One of the greatest and most definitive gifts of the tribe of N.C.G.I. is the ability to create music that is relevant to the current season of God.

This has its foundation in the fact that our Senior Elder, Wesley Boynes, has been blessed in this area and as a result the community has adapted a similar flavour.

Music within the community of N.C.G.I. is created at an alarming rate. Based on this and also the fact that one of the core principles that permeates the environs of N.C.G.I. is (APR) Aggressive Personal Responsibility, we have strategically directed that aspect of our resources into fueling the forceful advance of the Kingdom.

The "Lets Change-It's Worth It" compact disc is the first to be produced by the Northgate praise team and to us, this is a stepping stone into a dimension of music that we will be deliberately exploiting and fashioning in order to propel the Kingdom of God into every realm of earthly life.

Philosophy behind “Let’s Change – It’s Worth It”

The Core Values of “Let’s Change – It’s Worth It”

Throughout the ages, God has always used the medium of music to cement His principles and concepts into the hearts and minds of His people.  Obviously this strategy is being employed in the present reformation move of God.  The reformation message is redefining every aspect of the church including the performing arts and musical dimensions.  There must be a release of songs which reflect the new spiritual frequency that has been released.

Northgate Music is absolutely committed to creating a vessel with the required capacity to contain produce and manage new songs of declaration, strength, accuracy and excellence which God desires to pour out in this time of apostolic reformation in the church.  This is the heart and core value behind the production of “Let’s Change, It’s Worth It”.

The release of this album (the first of many) is a testimony of a very, very difficult period, not only for me but also for the music ministry and the entire Northgate Family.  It is a testimony of the commitment, loyalty and purity of heart of the members of the music ministry.  It is a testimony of a time when the message of the songs was severely tested in the life of the church and in the lives of the members of the music ministry.  It is the testimony of a time when we resolutely decided that ‘we have no image to defend, but God to please’.  It is a testimony of how God came through for us in a remarkable way.  We all learnt the reality of the truth; 'it’s not by might, not by power, but by My Spirit’.  I am really grateful to God for His faithfulness.

My hope is that the music from this album will be a powerful, spiritual journey that will ultimately be a catalyst of deeper change in your heart, your family, your church and your nation and also an upgrading to a new spiritual frequency and platform of spiritual conduct that is governmental in nature.

Special thanks to: The Holy Spirit who has released creativity in our midst that is absolutely supernatural in nature; the apostolic leader, (Dr. Noel Woodroffe) and team of the World Breakthrough Network who God has used to release so many life changing reformation concepts in our church which is the foundation for these songs;  the leadership team of NCGI; the precious members of the NCGI who not only supported this project wholeheartedly with their prayers, moral support and finances but it was in the midst of your pure and passionate worship that most of these songs were and is continuing to be birthed. You are a great bunch and the best team players that a leader can hope for.  Special mention must be made of the extremely talented and humble team members, singers and songwriters of the Northgate Music team who have contributed in one way or the other.  They include Vanessa, Donnalee, Sheryl, Andre, Joy, Claudile, Jewel, Ebanga, Beris, Grace and all the others who helped here and there.  God has taken note of your contribution and countless trips to Kingston in the recording of this album.  Jon Williams and Almond Productions - Jon we consider you an honorary member of our music department.  You have been very generous to us.

I would also like to acknowledge the special drumming arrangements which were done by Johnny Clarke.

Thanks and Praise.
