For more than a century, people in the Northwest and Newberg, Oregon, have been engaging in God’s mission in the world. This community has been a part of that worship since 1884. God has faithfully prepared and empowered us to continue to worship in a variety of ways in a variety of seasons. We continue to engage in our community in the ways of Jesus because Jesus’ ways can engage with anybody. We hold some things very seriously: Jesus is honored, everyone is welcome, we hold all things with open hands, and God’s Kingdom gets our utmost attention. We are strict about these things. With that in mind, you are welcome. As we honor Jesus, you can expect to encounter him. And with our attention on the Kingdom, you have a place to join.
Hope to see you soon in person or online!

Northside Community Church exists to spend our lives worshipping Jesus Christ, finding out where the Holy Spirit is at work and join Jesus in doing what God the Father is doing. That’s our mission, and it’s what we’re always striving to do.

Our vision is to join God in advancing the Kingdom of God in our world, in our communities, in our relationships and in our lives. Specifically, ministry success looks like seeing 200 people become disciples in the way of Jesus, reflecting our community demographically, and planting churches every 2 years. This we hope to accomplish by the year 2030.

Our strategy is to engage in the priesthood of all believers, recognizing that offices are given to enable the saints to do the work of the ministry. We earnestly seek the greater gifts as scripture encourages. So, we are looking first to worship and prophecy; honoring God first and letting God have the final word. We are looking to evangelize and practice apostleship; going and telling the good news of the gospel as well as sending workers into the harvest. We are looking to disciple and shepherd; joining God in the inner work of the soul and empowering others with tools and talent to make disciples in the way of Jesus.
