The church isn't a business. It's a spiritual family. Our relationships aren't defined by a contract but rather a covenant, a sacred and serious vow to love, serve, and watch out for one another as Jesus does for us. True, joyful, faithful Christianity is lived out in local church membership.

Becoming a Member

​

1. Northside Essentials Class

Anyone interested in exploring membership at Northside should attend a Northside Essentials gathering. This lunch gathering will allow the pastors to explain the doctrine, culture, and vision of Northside in more detail. 

​

2. Pastoral Interview

After attending Northside Essentials, each applicant will be interviewed by a pastor. These interviews will cover an applicant's personal testimony of salvation through Jesus Christ and allow the applicant to ask any remaining questions about Northside. 

​

3. Membership Affirmation

After an applicant's pastoral interview, they will be presented to the congregation at a members' meeting. Each applicant will share their testimony with the congregation and the church will recognize them as new members.
