Hey there!
Northview Church Exists to help people become deeply rooted followers of Jesus.
Whether you’re exploring faith, or you’ve been a Christian all your life, you’re welcome here.
WE SEEK TO
Gather.
We gather together weekly because the Christian life is not meant to be walked alone. Having a strong community is essential to weathering the storms of life. It also makes the celebrations that much better.
Grow.
We believe every follower of Jesus is on a lifelong journey to grow in their knowledge of God and their relationship with Jesus. We have community groups, bible studies, classes, and resources to help you on this journey. All of these opportunities are in community with others because, again, together is better.
Go.
We believe every follower of Jesus has been sent to be salt and light in the community and to tell others about Jesus. As you Gather and Grow you will begin to feel confident to share your faith with others.
We’d love to connect with you if you are new around here! We know Northview is a large church, and knowing how or where to get plugged in might seem challenging. If this is you – please join us after one of our services at any of our locations listed below. There will be pastors there to warmly welcome you, share a bit about what you can expect at our church, and how you can get connected.
We can’t wait to get to know you!
Next Lunch: Date Coming Soon | Downes Road
Community Groups
We say “together is better” and this is about more than just attending a service on the weekend. One of the best ways we do life together is through Community Groups. It doesn’t matter if you’re questioning Christianity, new to faith, or have been following Jesus for years. It doesn’t matter what neighbourhood you’re from or which Northview campus you regularly attend. We want to help you find a “good fit” for where you’re at in life.
Many groups meet regularly from September to June and typically meet in homes to share food, discuss how the Bible impacts life, and pray with/for one another.

A typical service is 60-75 minutes long and begins with a couple of songs led by a full band. That is followed by a 30-45 minute sermon from the Bible. We also take communion together regularly, and watching and observing is acceptable.
In all these things, non-believers and observers are most welcome, and no one is asked to do or say anything they are not comfortable with or ready for. Just enjoy the music and glean some wisdom from the Bible. We’d love to talk when you’re ready to take the next step.
We have a Connect Desk and friendly volunteers ready to answer any questions.

Our Downes Road Campus offers supportive care during several services over the weekend.
“Imagine”, our Supportive Care Ministry, seeks to ensure that all families feel welcomed at Northview. We seek to partner alongside caregivers to ensure that each person is connected to a Christ-centred community, is growing spiritually, and is using their gifts to serve others. We seek to move beyond just the presence of those with physical, mental and/or developmental differences to create an atmosphere of belonging.
Imagine is available at our Downes Road Campus. More information HERE.

There are so many ways to finish that sentence. Over the years we’ve gone to great lengths to try and answer any and every question that people in our community might have. One of the best ways to hear our thoughts on various issues is to listen to some episodes of the Extra Podcast or our newly released podcast called Northview Asks.
