Northside Community Church of Ann Arbor

Whoever you are...

You are invited to a place where all are welcomed and accepted, and encouraged to be all that God made them to be.

You are invited to become part of a loving Christian community, committed to loving God with all our hearts and loving our neighbors as much as we love ourselves.

You are invited to join us for worship, for fellowship, for learning opportunities, and for serving others as we discover what it means to serve Jesus Christ as Lord and, as his followers, to walk in his steps.

This Year

This was the third year for our Growing Hope Garden. Our harvested vegetables go to Food Gatherers to be given to those in need of fresh foods. We do this along with about 20 other churches in town. Last year we delivered over 145 pounds of beans, tomatoes, and squash from our garden.

This year the Men's Ministries Breakfast prepared the ground and did the planting. We increased our yield over last year, taking in over 200 pounds of vegetables to Food Gatherers.
