The student ministry at Northside assists parents and families in raising teens to become men and women of God. Whether it is
a mission trip,
a worship event,
a bible study,
a fun group outing,
or relationships with faithful adults
the ministry facilitates many different kinds of opportunities that promote authentic Christian life. Our hope for each student is that they will connect with a group of students and one of our adult volunteers to begin growing through the relationships and experiences this ministry offers. Our hope for each parent is that we can come along side of you to be a resource and help in promoting real Christian life and relationships in the home. We aim not only to teach what the church is, but to train students to BE the church as well!
Jarrod Longbons,
Student Minister

Upcoming Events
Teen Mission Work: Not Just for Teens
We will be building a house for Crossroads Missions in our parking lot. We will be partnering with Antioch Christian Church (Toluca, IL), Jacob's Well Community Church (Normal, IL), and Crossroad Mission (New Orleans, LA) to frame a home for those in need. We want the whole church to get involved! Teens and adults from three churches working side by side, partnering in the gospel together: that is a picture of Heaven!
Sign-up Sheets are on the bulletin board in the hallway. For more information contact Jarrod Longbons.
Service Opportunities
Students are encouraged to participate in a number of service opportunities.
Fransen Nature area
The Teen ministry has adopted a park in North Normal to clean monthly as a group.
Midwest Food Bank
The Teen ministry, along with adult ministries, has a special connection to the food bank. We work there often so we can help the food bank feed the hungry.
