Disciple2

Disciple2 is a series of 20 spiritual conversations between two Christ-followers over a one-year period. These Bible-focused discussions are designed to help both people grow in their knowledge and devotion to being a disciple of Jesus Christ. In this one-on-one journey, one person is taking the lead by initiating the relationship and leading conversations. Becoming a fully devoted disciple of Christ is a lifelong process, and Disciple2 is simply one step in a journey that spans a lifetime.

To engage in the Disciple2 spiritual mentorship program, prayerfully determine whom you’d like to be your mentor or mentee. Let God be the matchmaker. Whoever God brings to your mind, ask that person to join you in the program. Then email the contact details for both the mentor and mentee to [email protected].

Purchase the Disciple2 book at the Information Center and go ahead and start the program on your own schedule.

Life Groups We believe life change can and will happen in Life Groups, and we strongly encourage everyone to be involved in one.

Community is essential to our spiritual journey, so we organize the groups around your life stage, schedule and location. Groups meet every week or every other week in homes. You can expect to participate in a biblically-based study, develop relationships with each other and do life together.

In the fall, we'll start several new Life Groups for our church-wide spiritual growth campaign. You'll have opportunities to join and host new groups at that time.

Weekend Services Northview Kids is our children's ministry for kids ages birth through 4th grade. No matter the age or need, your child will experience God's love here at Northview. In creative and inspiring classrooms, kids learn about God and His immense love for everyone through playtime, songs, activities and storytelling. For more information, visit northviewkids.us.

Date/Time | 9 & 11 a.m. on Sundays


Baby Dedications Baby Dedications are conducted during Weekend Services on Mother’s Day and in December. By dedicating your child, you are coming forward to declare that, as the parent, you take your responsibility seriously and commit yourself to raising your children in a God-honoring manner. A class is required in advance for all participating families.



Family Experience (FX)Family Experience (FX) is a worship and teaching event for the whole family. Each FX service will introduce the next month of curriculum that we will teach our elementary students in Northview Kids. FX will incorporate high-energy worship, fun crowd games, interactive biblical teaching, and family small-group time. We will even send a "widget" home with you that will help your family keep the spiritual conversation happening all month long.

Although FX is designed with elementary kids and parents in mind, we believe the entire family will benefit, and we welcome kids of all ages. Please note that no childcare will be available, and this is not a drop-off event. You will remain together as a family for the entire event.

We ask that you register for this free event so that we can plan well. However, we don't want registration to be a barrier for you to invite your friends and neighbors. Please feel free to invite others even if they don't register. We will make room for everyone. Register at northviewkids.us.

Date/Time | 6:30 — 8 p.m. on various Fridays. Watch your worship program or check the events calendar on northviewchurch.us for more information
