Our Services

Traditional Service

This traditional Methodist service is designed for the family that wants to worship early and have the rest of the day as family time. We feature traditional hymns, special music by the Sanctuary Choir of volunteers choir members, and liturgy that enhances our service of worship. Our Senior Minister, Dr. Gil Watson, is usually the preacher. We take Communion on the first Sunday of every month.

Contemporary Service

9:50AM · Faith & Arts Center

Come experience worship at Northside at our 9:50AM, Sunday Morning Contemporary Service. This “Come As You Are” environment utilizes dynamic liturgy, seminar style sermons, multimedia presentations and a multi-level praise team to encourage worshipers to continue to build their relationship with God through nurturing each other, walking the Christian journey as Jesus taught us, and by Worshiping in Spirit and in Truth. Whether you are a life long Christian, or just beginning your faith journey, come check this service out! The Contemporary Worship Service is held Sunday morning at 9:50am in the Faith and Arts Center.
