Music Ministry
If God is prompting you to sing, play or participate in dramatic presentations, or if you are interested in helping on the technical end (sound, lighting, staging, etc.), please join us. God has placed something in you that no one else can bring to Northside's mix. We will not be complete without your contribution! Please contact one of our music ministry staff to find out more information:

Prayer Ministry
Prayer has always been a big part of who Northside is, because prayer is of vital importance to every Christian. Prayer is the way we connect with God, but we must do more than just connect. We must praise, petition, and intercede in the midst of our prayer.

The Stephen Ministry
Northside’s Stephen Ministry equips lay people to provide confidential, one-to-one Christian care to individuals in our congregation and community who are experiencing difficulties in their lives.  Stephen Ministry is a confidential ministry: The identity of those receiving care and what takes place in each caring relationship remains private.

Drama Ministry
Northside has a growing Drama ministry. From Sunday morning vignettes to full-fledged musicals that go on tour. There are plenty of areas in which to participate: as an actor, costumer, set builder, lighting or sound operator and others. If you feel that God is leading you in this direction, contact Mitzi Mathenia.

Adults In Ministry (AIM)
Senior Adult, Recycled Teenager, or many others...whatever they call us, we're still children of God. So, there's still plenty of God's work to do, for those of us that no longer work at the same job for 8 hours a day. Northside's Senior Adult ministry is a vibrant community of people of an older age that choose to live their lives as Jesus has directed...and there's a place in that group for you!

Men's Ministry

Children's Ministry
The children's program at Northside aims to get kids involved in having fun serving the Lord. From drama to puppet shows to service projects - children at Northside get to explore the various ways that we can serve others through our own individual talents. We also have activities where families can share quality family time in a Christian atmosphere - from roller skating to evenings at the ballpark and weekend retreats.

Parent's Day Out

PDO provides a nurturing environment for play, educational activities, and social interaction in clean and safe surroundings.
 

Jonathan's Hope
Jonathan’s Hope is Northside’s special needs ministry, created to serve individuals with special needs and their families. Our name is inspired by 2 Samuel 9, in which King David protected Jonathan’s son, who was “crippled in both feet.” Our mission is to provide opportunities for fellowship and worship to individuals with special needs and their families. Jonathan’s Hope is made up of three ministry areas: Jonathan's Kids, Teen Club, and Buddies.
