Our Current Status

Starting on June 6, we will be worshiping in the sanctuary. Seating will be an approtriate distance and everyone will be required to wear a mask (we have members with children who haven't been vaccinated, others who are caring for family members with compromised immune systems, and other situations so we are caring for the safety of all). The service will be live-streamed via the Northside Facebook page and on the "Service Videos" page above on Sunday afternoon.

Office hours will be by appointment and only as needed.
