To know where we are going, you must first know where we have been. Here is a brief history.
Northside Baptist Church met for the first time in the little frame building on October 13, 1963. Northside Baptist Church started with sixty seven members who were on a mission and the mission became known as "Northside Missionary Baptist Church".
In March of 1964, a committee was elected to plan the building of an auditorium for the Church.
On May 2, 1965 Northside members met in their beautiful new sanctuary for the first time. This was a great day for the band of God's children! Much had gone into this building, many heartaches and long tiring hours that only dedicated people would accomplish with God leading the way.
On May 9, 1965, Mother's Day marked the first Baptism at Northside's new building.
and today...
There have been many changes, tough times, happy times, as well as reflections times at Northside Baptist Church through the years, and Northside is still going strong. As a church, God is the head and we pray to seek his direction in everything we do.
In 2007 we withdrew from the BMA and it opened the door to support missionaries independently. We recieve monthly newsletters from each of them. It gives a more personal feel for what each missionary is having to endure over in other countries and in our local community. We are currently in the process of building our missionaries to support, both over seas and local. God is leading the way.
More to come.
