About Northside Presbyterian Church (NPC)
 Northside
Presbyterian Church is a small dynamic congregation of the Presbyterian
Church USA located in Ann Arbor. Established in 1959 by First
Presbyterian Church of Ann Arbor as an outreach to the University
of Michigan's North Campus, we have grown to attract a diverse
membership base from all over Southeastern Michigan. We are one
of nearly 100 churches comprising the Presbytery
of Detroit.
Northside Presbyterian Church is a faith
community focused on glorifying God by
being:
- Welcoming in worship
- Inclusive by intention
- Joyful in doing justice
- Liberal in love
We believe that both solemn prayer and nonviolent
action can bring about change in the world, and that the presence of our congregation can
make a difference in our community.
Northside Presbyterian Church is also a More
Light congregation. We seek to affirm Christ's inclusive
love for all, and celebrate the Spirit's marvelous gift of
diversity. We invite everyone -- regardless of gender identity,
sexual orientation, race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status,
or other worldly condition -- to fully join us in worship,
leadership, and community. Please join
us for worship if you are able!
Since 1966, we have been sharing all facilities and some programs
with St. Aidan's Episcopal
Church, including a common emphasis on community
work and social justice activities. This partnership, the
second oldest such relationship in the U.S., was formalized in
1972 as Northside Associated
Ministries (NAM), a non-profit corporate entity.
Though each congregation has its own sanctuary, we worship together
as a unified congregation on the last Sunday of every month,
using a liturgy in the spirit of Churches
Uniting in Christ (CUIC), a nine denominational body in which
the Presbyterian Church USA and Episcopal
Church USA are participants.
We hope you will take the opportunity to visit
our church in person in the near future!
