We are extremely optimistic about the future of Northside Community Church. We’re not seeking to be a Church that merely maintains its programmes, but rather a Church that is committed to growing and moving forward. We believe God has called us for a special mission both to the local and wider community of Sydney. We desire to see people experience hope and healing through Jesus Christ and His community of believers.

Young Adults and Families Find Northside Attractive:
In recent times we have experienced a significant increase in the number of young families, young adults, children and teenagers. This trend is going to escalate.

One of the primary ways we will bring this healing and hope to our community is through the offering of New Life Courses such as Search for Life, Search for Intimacy, Divorce Recovery for Adults and Kids, Grief Recovery, Sexual Abuse Recovery and many others. Adult Education is also going to be one of the primary missional activities of the church, with courses ranging from basic life, career and ministry matters through to TAFE, University degree, Masters and Doctorate level subjects. Our Ministry Centre is ideal for fulfilling and expanding these missional initiatives.

Northside will continue to be a leader in the use of contemporary artistic media to connect with 21st century Australians. We have found that people often appreciate and respond to spiritual and life truths through the use of multi sensory devices, so these will increasingly be an important component to our services. We also plan to eventually offer additional services to connect with various groups of people in our community.

An expansion of our Connection Group network to include nurture, social and special interest groups will also be an integral part of the future of Northside.

Our increasing emphasis on ministry to the community means that the Pastoral Care of the Church will also be developed and expanded to meet the new demands. In this way, we will express the love, care and concern for people, which we believe to be an integral part of practical Christianity. These developments will also include greater partnership with inner city mission organizations.

We fully acknowledge that the primary purpose of the church is to see people come into a relationship with Jesus Christ, so, Evangelism will always be a key component in the missional work that Northside embarks on in the future.
