6 Common Questions
1. What makes this church unique?
Northbridge Church is specifically a church geared to those with little or no church background, yet have serious questions about God’s role in their life. Northbridge is here to help you connect with God and to learn how to grow in that relationship. We have set in place structures to help everyone progress forward in this spiritual journey whether you’re a skeptic just checking things out or someone who has been walking with Jesus for many years. We are not afraid of tough questions - instead, we thrive on them. We offer our Connection Service on Sunday mornings as a starting point (Bridge Street Kids for the children) and Community Groups through the week for real learning at each stage in the journey.
2. What should I wear?
Casual to business casual clothes are the norm at Northbridge. We encourage people to wear whatever is comfortable for them and will help them prepare their hearts to listen to the teaching. It's not the clothes that really matter, it's the heart - so come dressed to listen. -And don't worry! You'll fit in!
3. How long will the worship gathering last?
The Sunday morning is less than 90 minutes.
4. What will the service be like?
Our service includes elements of multi-media, drama, contemporary music, and practical, relevant messages. The atmosphere is relaxed and informal. There's some participatory singing during the service, but the majority of the time is for you to experience and think through what you're seeing and hearing.
5. Will I have to say anything, sign anything, give anything, or be singled out in any way?
At Northbridge you'll never be put on the spot, never singled-out, and never embarrassed.
We do offer you the opportunity to fill out a Connection Card so we can send to you some basic information about the church. Giving us any information about you is optional (unless you place your child in our children's ministry - for your child's security, we'll need to get some basic information).
We do take an offering as a response of worship but we make very clear, our expectation is that our regular attenders are the people that give to the support of the church. You're our guest! Our hope is that you'll let the service be our gift to you and that you'll know we're here for you!
6. What about my kids - do they come into the service with me or is there something going on for them?
Our children's ministry, "Bridge Street Kids" provides an exciting experience for children through grade three. When you arrive your children can go into our Bridge Street Kids area to be greeted by our children’s staff. Their high energy and well-organized program will allow you to feel secure as you leave them for their program and will enable you to get the most from your experience at Northbridge!
Nursery service is provided for infants and toddlers as a develomental and age appproprate program through Kindergarten.
