Vision and Mission Statement

Northside Church

 

Our Vision is to be a healthy church family whose lifestyle attracts people to the Lord and His timeless message of grace, hope and love, and whose ministries impact East Liverpool and beyond.

 

Our Mission is to lead people to Jesus, to help them grow in their walk with Him and in their service to others.

 

Our Motivation for ministry and service comes from a clear biblical understanding and appreciation of who Jesus Christ is, what He did for us and why He did it.  We realize that there is no greater force on earth than love.  Therefore, the love of God motivates, and enables us to do anything God wants us to do.
