Literacy Achieves Donations For the month of October, we are collecting donations to benefit our mission parter, Literacy Achieves. Two campuses, two
A vibrant 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.
You do not have to check your mess at the door. We all brought some.
Worship
Two services. One community. All are welcome.
On Sunday mornings during the program year, we gather twice.
At 9:00 a.m.
This service takes place in our lower parking lot on the south side of our building; yes, we worship outdoors most of the program year! You should wear whatever clothes feel most comfortable for you to sit outside for about 45-50 minutes. Dress varies from casual to smart casual. On special Sundays like Easter, we do get a little more fancy!
At 11:00 a.m.
This service takes place in our Sanctuary. You should wear whatever clothes feel most comfortable for you to sit in a pew for 55-60 minutes. Most people dress smart casual. Coats and ties are rare except on special Sundays like Easter. You don’t need to bring anything but yourself.
We Are Intergenerational
A Place for all ages
Children are not the future of this church. 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
Northridge is home to the Northridge Child Development Center (NCDC), a preschool for children ages two through five where every child is deeply known and loved. And every summer, Camp Northridge brings over 75 unique themed day camps to the heart of Lakewood for children ages three through ten.
We are inclusive and affirming.
Northridge is an open and affirming congregation. We take seriously the call to “Honor all persons,” and that includes queer people, all races and ethnicities, singles, couples young and old, children, youth, refugees, and people who are neurodivergent—to name a few. 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. In 2026, we hosted a booth in the family section at Dallas Pridefest for the first time. We are committed to keep showing up for people on the margins.
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 not a program here. It is who we are.
