At Northside, We believe that the biblical purpose for church is for God’s people to experience and express the glory of God. To get Vertical – it is a distinctive that matters and it matters a lot. In many churches around the world people have hijacked the mission of the church and redefined it as merely an evangelistic and/or a social enterprise. That’s simply not enough. But when a church truly embraces and pursues God’s glory as the central passion everything else falls into place. God comes down! Evangelism and meeting the needs of society become a natural byproduct. Vertical Church is for people who want to give themselves in pursuit of God’s manifest presence. It is what we love to call–window rattling, earth-shattering, life-altering church! We believe God will accomplish this in our church through 5 Vertical Values.
