So many factors influence our health and wellbeing on a daily basis. We support and encourage each other as we seek to extend the love of Christ into our community and beyond. If you would like to learn more about how to become involved in our service opportunities, please contact Lisa Enright, Interim Director of Mission.

  Christmas with our Northside Neighbors Thank you for bringing light to our neighbors at Christmas!

  Thank you for bringing light to our neighbors at  Christmas! Each Advent season we bring the light of Christ to more than 125 families with food, gifts, clothing, and more!

  In addition to Christmas with our Northside Neighbors, Deacons are working closely with Northside Mission Ministries to support our local families throughout the year. For example, the Winter Warmth coat drive in the fall brings warm outerwear to children and adults as the weather begins to cool.

  Second's outreach this year will serve to foster deeper engagement with our neighbors who visit the Northside Food Pantry. We will focus on pantry clients this Christmas and continue to serve between 120 and 150 families in the area. You are welcome to donate funds to support this vital ministry.

  Disaster Relief Emergency cleanup buckets and hygiene kits

  In the spring and fall, our church parking lot serves as a collection site for area churches and families to drop off emergency cleanup buckets and hygiene kits. Church World Service distributes these much-needed supplies to those affected by wildfires, hurricanes, flooding, and other disasters in the U.S. and around the world.

  Presbyterian Disaster Assistance(an organization within our denomination) partners with Church World Service to collect, store, and distribute relief kits.

  The Church World Service website has details about the emergency cleanup buckets and hygiene kits, including printable shopping lists and videos showing how to pack the kits.

  For many years, our church has been a collection depot for Church World Service, facilitating the gathering and storage of emergency cleanup buckets and hygiene kits. We are united in our mission to serve those in most need.

  THANK YOU for helping your church help those in need!
