About Northside Christian Church

Northside started with a group of people who desired to follow Jesus and met in the basement of a house in 1970. What happened in the next 40 years can best be described by saying, “Only God.” Whether it's making an impact on the community, preaching the Gospel or moving locations to gather, the elders at Northside have always taken risks to follow God. That’s what it means to follow Jesus as a Church. And we can’t wait to see what Christ does in the next 40 years through His Church! To be His Church is an invitation of a lifetime and we hope you become a part of a greater story…His story.
