Join us in our Summer Studies!
During the summer months, men and women of the Northview community frequently seek recommendations from our pastors for reading materials and Bible studies. We’re delighted by your enthusiasm for deepening your relationship with God and expanding your understanding of His teachings during your leisure time – whether you’re camping, vacationing, or enjoying quieter days at home. Therefore, if you’re keen on continued growth this summer, we extend an invitation to participate in one or two discipleship studies listed below. We’re thrilled to extend these all studies to men and women, with the exception for Fighting Shadows, which is exclusively for men.
Why Summer Studies?

– Grow Spiritually: Engage with scripture and theological teachings.
– Build Community: Connect with fellow believers.
– Learn Continuously: Keep your mind and heart engaged during the summer months.
