Welcome to Northside Church of Christ
WHAT TO EXPECT
Northside is a friendly and welcoming congregation. Our worship service begins at 11:00am and generally lasts about an hour and thirty minutes. On a typical Sunday some members will be dressed in business or business casual attire. On the fourth Sunday of each month we dress in casual clothing. Visitors to Northside are welcome regardless of dress. We worship God by singing, reading scripture, praying together, observing the Lord's Supper and giving. Preaching is a central part our worship services. Preaching at Northside is enthusiastic and expository (based on a particular Bible passage). After the sermon, the minister will "extend an invitation" to obey the gospel, recommit to God, and/or ask prayers of the church.
