What to Expect

When you arrive, you'll find friendly faces ready to welcome you and help you find your way.

Our Sunday worship includes singing, prayer, communion, and a message from the Bible. We're a church family made up of people from different backgrounds and stages of life, learning to follow Jesus together.

There's no need to dress up, know all the songs, or have everything figured out before you come.

Bringing Kids or Teens?

We love having families at North River! Every Sunday morning, we offer age-appropriate classes and gatherings for children and teens, ages 6 months through high school, led by caring volunteers.

Here's where to go:

  • 6 months – 3 years: Main Auditorium

  • 4 years – 5th grade: Family Learning Center (next to the Main Auditorium)

  • Middle & High School: The Lighthouse (specific schedule below)

Middle and high school students gather in the left section of the Main Auditorium when they're not attending their classes or services.
