Whether you’re exploring the Christian faith, returning to church after some time away
or have been following Christ for a lifetime, we want you to be comfortable doing life
and learning with us. We strive to create an environment where people can truly
come as they are … and leave different. So give us a try!
Located in the heart of downtown Knightdale, Northside is an authentic, friendly and relational group of people. You’ll get a sense of that, once you walk through the doors.
Northside’s ministries are rooted in meeting our community’s changing needs by living the unchanging Gospel of Christ. That mission shapes our hearts, informs our actions and aligns our efforts.
At Northside, there are numerous ways you can roll your sleeves up, serve others and build relationships in the process. There are plenty of opportunities for you to get started.
We have a primary value of studying the Bible together each weekend. We believe the Scriptures are the inspired word of God, filled with truths to build our lives and church upon, and as we study them, God leads us to a better understanding of who He is, who He says we are, and what our place is in this story He is writing.
Each weekend, there is a lot of music in our services. It’s how we usually begin our time together, to focus our minds and hearts on who we have gathered to worship. More than mere music, songs of worship are prayers of thanks, awe, need and devotion that prepare our hearts to be changed.
When we say “come as you are,” we mean it. We want you to be yourself and to wear what you’re comfortable in when you join us for worship. There’s no dress code at Northside.
As we seek God together, we ask that His Spirit would reveal Himself to us both for the sake of us as individuals and as a faith community as a whole. When God moves, we want to respond. Our response happens in a few different ways; sometimes we pray; other times we sit still in reverence; other times we reach our hands for God; every month we observe Holy Communion.
By responding to God, we are both changed and equipped to live out His Gospel in our lives.
Prayer is responding to God by actually having a conversation with Him. Each week, following our study of God’s word, we take time to respond to what we’ve heard, through prayer.
Sometimes we simply sit quietly, allowing space for God’s Spirit to speak to us individually. At other times we may be given an opportunity to pray together as a community. There are always people from within our church community who are available to pray with and for anyone who would like prayer for something specific.
