Name of Church:
Northside Christian Church

Location:
Brisbane, QLD

Website:
www.northsidechurch.com.au

Music:
Contemporary worship at both our 9am and 6pm service: our 6pm is louder!

Speaking:
We're all about equipping people to be the church 24/7 - so you will hear teaching and preaching that communicates timeless truth in a timely way. Messages go for 25-40 minutes, depending on the service. We are a pretty conversational bunch and favour authenticity, hope, faith and love.

Childcare:
Childcare and Kid's Church runs during our 9am service with some great parents rooms, supervised creche and a Kid's church that is fun, caring, safe and teaches children all about God. There is no childcare at our 6pm service - but there is a parents room.

Favorite Thing:
Gotta be the people! (The free tea, coffee and hot chocolate after the service isn't bad either!)

What would you change?
I would change.... me - but God and I are working on that! ;-)

Can I wear jeans?
Absolutely you can wear jeans... or shorts, or a suit. The outside isn't important - it's the heart that counts!
