Welcome to Northside!

Northside Church is a community of believers in Jesus Christ seeking to love and worship our Lord, live in strong relationship with one another, and fulfill our part in the Great Commission. Our services include contemporary music and practical ministry dealing with current real life issues.
We believe that we are called to:

  Touch our personal world with the love of the Heavenly Father
  Reconcile people to living relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ
  Equip believers to use their Holy Spirit given gifts
  Engage each believer in the work of His Church



Our Vision

Our vision is to take deliberate steps of action to address the needs of our community in such a way that our neighbours and our society are affected and transformed by the love of Jesus! Our desire is to equip and engage each member of our fellowship in the work God had called them to fulfill.



History

In 1962 some believers set out to establish a “new witness” in the Vanderhoof area with a focus on providing a church home for evangelical Mennonite believers. Northside mainly emerged from immigrating Mennonite believers from Oregon and the local Somerfelder Mennonite community. Even though we have strong Mennonite roots, Northside is no longer a distinctive Mennonite community. We were strongly impacted in the 1970’s and 80’s by the establishment of a church school ministry and the renewing work of the Holy Spirit in the wider body of Christ at that time. Northside has always been defined by our commitment to developing and helping strong Christian family units. Dedicated to missions from our beginnings, we have become significantly involved in evangelism and humanitarian aid in Haiti and Liberia through the last twenty years. At present we feel that God is positioning us for new and challenging opportunities, even as He did in the past.
