Dorothy Allport Network Mission Offering

For over 25 years, Dorothy Allport was a dedicated volunteer serving the member churches of NorthStar Church Network. For 77 years, Dorothy was an active member of First Baptist Church of Alexandria serving in a variety of leadership positions from Pastor Search Committee (3 times!), Secretary to the Senior Pastor, and Clerk for 30 years!

No one exemplified church more than Dorothy Allport, so in 2009, the Network Council of NorthStar Church Network established the annual Dorothy Allport Network Mission Offering. NorthStar is privileged to have a Network Mission Offering honoring this outstanding lady. Dorothy's faithfulness, tireless energy, and gentle spirit were an inspiration to all who knew her.
