A vibrant, open-minded church for all ages and stages, people who serve with can-do spirit, and people who are generous and intentional.
If you are comfortable with questions and doubts, open to loving others whole-heartedly, and willing to go deeper in faith, you are welcome here. If your life is complicated, if your faith is complicated, if you are not sure what you believe or why you showed up today, you are welcome here too.Â

You do not have to check your mess at the door. We all brought some.
Worship
Two services. One community.
On Sunday mornings during our program year, we offer two worship services. Children are welcome at both, and we would love for you to join us!
At 9 AM
Most of our program year, we worship outdoors in God’s creation. We meet on the south side of our building, just outside our education wing. Our community shows up how they are most comfortable, with dress ranging from casual to smart casual, and the service lasts between 45-50 minutes.Â
At 11 AM
We gather in our Sanctuary for a more traditional worship service. Our community generally wears smart casual attire at 11, but you’ll see everything from jeans to sport coats and ties. The service lasts about an hour, and you don’t need to bring anything but yourself.
A Church for All Ages
We are Multigenerational
People of all ages have a voice and a home here. They are the church, right now, exactly as they are. From our youngest nursery babies to teenagers asking hard questions about faith and identity, Northridge is a place where kids and families are fully embraced at every age and stage. Our prayground, our Kids Connection Hour, our youth ministry, and our children’s music program are all built around the conviction that belonging here starts early.
Preschool & Summer Camp
Child Care at Northridge
During the school year, Northridge is home to the Northridge Child Development Center (NCDC), a preschool dedicated to supporting the physical, social, and emotional growth of each of its 2-5 year-olds. In the summer, Camp Northridge brings over 75 unique themed day camps to the heart of Lakewood for children ages three through ten.Â
We are inclusive and affirming.
Each week, we conclude worship with our charge and its call to Honor All Persons. We are an open and affirming congregation, inviting visitors and members of all types — regardless of age, race, ethnicity, immigration status, physical or mental ability, political persuasion, gender or sexual identity — to join fully in the life and mission of the church.Â
We seek to nurture a compassionate community where people trust they belong to God and to one another. Our youth group is a safe space for young people with questions about their identity and their faith.Â
Featured Events
Community Gatherings
Life at Northridge is shaped by gatherings that bring all ages together. Each fall, we open the program year with our annual concert, serve our neighbors through Northridge Serves, and honor our children on Children’s Sabbath. Each spring, we support our youth at their mission trip fundraiser, hear them lead on Youth Worship Sunday, and wrap up the year with a celebration and picnic.
We Inspire Transformative Faith
through relevant worship, compassionate community and extravagant generosity
Northridge aims to be THE church making a disproportionate impact for good in Dallas. That begins with relevant worship, grows through compassionate community, and moves outward through extravagant generosity. For decades, we have partnered with organizations serving refugees, neighbors facing food insecurity, and students who need someone in their corner. Mission is more than a program at Northridge. It’s who we are.
