What is it like at Northminster on Sunday?

9:00 a.m.
9:00 Worship is our early service of the day. This inspiring format will include more congregational participation, a new choir for music leadership (the Eucharist Singers) and the sacrament of communion each Sunday. It is our hope that modern liturgy, the addition of drama and the combination of familiar and new hymns will help make this service a meaningful worship experience for all. We are especially excited about the opportunity to share the Lord’s Supper together each week. The message will be slightly less formal but will remain consistent with our traditions and is, of course, open to absolutely everyone. Children's choir will frequently provide special music. Following the service, which concludes by 10:00, refreshments are served inside the front doors and entrance into the sanctuary. Please visit our Friendship Table which displays all of our activities at Northminster.

10:00 a.m.
Infant through 5 years go to first floor of the education
wing. Kindergarten through Sr. High, head up to
the second floor of the education wing.

At 10:00 a.m. there is Church School. Look for Julie Shannon to find out about our youth and young adult activities. There will also be inquirer classes offered periodically during the year for new members, curious visitors or long time members seeking more insight. If you are interested in joining the church, tell any pastor or one of your new church friends and they will help you get the answers you want. Adult and teen classes are varied throughout the year and help participants learn more about their relationship with Christ. Debbie Bulloff is the Asst. Director of our Christian Education program and can help you find the right class for your children, but then again, .....anyone in the hallway will also be able to help.

11:00 a.m.
11:00 worship is our second service and remains traditional with Northminster's heritage. Our amazing Chancel Choir will provide music leadership. The service will be more formal than our 9:00 service and last about an hour. Children in kindergarten through 5th grade will attend the first part of the service and are invited to participate in the Time with Children at the front with one our pastors or a bible visitor here to tell a story. The children are then invited to attend Junior Church where they will participate in music and bible stories. For the youngest children, from infant through preschool, there is child care.

Childcare is provided at all services

We provide child care for infants and toddlers during the 9:00 and 11:00 Sunday services.
Preschoolers go to Sunday Church School at that time.
