Leadership

We are an autonomous congregation. This means there is no national church government. Northside is led by men who have agreed to serve as Elders. These men meet strict qualifications outlined in 1 Timothy 3:1-7 and Titus 1:6-9. To view our elders page,click here .

In some religious bodies, the preacher is given the title of "Pastor." But in the New Testament, the words pastor (or shepherd), bishop, and elder are used for the same office: that of an elder. We do not refer to our preacher (or pulpit minister) by a title, just by his name. To learn more about our pulpit minister, please click here .

Our elders are assisted in leading the congregation by nine men who serve as deacons. They also must meet certain qualifications given in Scripture (see 1 Timothy 3:8-13). To see who serves our congregation as deacons, click here .
