Let’s Plan a Visit NOW
KINGDOM PARTNER Home
Our Kingdom Partnership Home is the story of two separate churches meeting in one location for God’s glory!
We are grateful for our Kingdom Partnership with Saint Christopher by the Sea Episcopal Church to be a home for our Sunday morning worship in their facilities. Both churches maintain our identities (Northshore Family is non-denominational). In addition, we share resources that are mutually beneficial to each other and God’s Kingdom!
10am Sunday worship at 820 Wildcat Drive in Portland, Texas 78374
Northshore Family meets in the Parrish Hall on the north side of the building. Just look for the Northshore Family navy and black A-frame signs and one of our Front Door Hosts! *Please note that signs are only out on days and times that we are scheduled to meet. Plan to park and enter on the North side of the building. (The left side of the building if you are facing the front of the church!). Look for the ENTER HERE sign!
WHAT TO EXPECT
FOR SUNDAY WORSHIP
10am Sunday worship meets in person at 820 Wildcat Drive in Portland, TX 78374 for about 75 minutes.
You can also connect LIVE online through our Northshore Family FaceBook page for the interactive chat community!
Here are some insights for planning your first visit!
- Before you arrive or log-in online, our teams pray, plan, study, and practice to transform our environments!
- Since we broadcast live, our services start promptly at 10am. Arrive early for more time to connect in community.
- Sunday services are built around a family atmosphere of loving you toward a growing relationship with Jesus Christ.
- The whole church family begins together for interactive praise and worship music led by Bobby Hon and our ShoreBand!
- Preschool and Children are then dismissed after singing for Northshore Kids. Ms. Laura, Mrs. Crystal, and our loving helpers lead kids in a safe, fun, Christ-centered learning environments so that may know and love God and others.
- Pastor Josh McClary opens God’s Word for adults and youth so that the Gospel story may intersect with you faith story!
- Following the message, we move into family groups to discuss and apply the Word. Then, we launch out on mission!
What WE BELIEVE
Glad that you are taking time to see what we believe as you plan a visit! ~ Acts 17:11
About God
We believe in one God who exists in three distinct persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. We believe that Jesus Christ is the second member of the Trinity (the Son of God) who became flesh to reveal God to humanity and to become the Savior of those who would trust in Him as Savior and Lord.
About Salvation
We believe that the blood of Jesus Christ, shed on the cross, provides the sole basis for the forgiveness of sin. Therefore, God freely offers salvation to those who place their faith in the death and resurrection of Christ as sufficient payment for their sin.
About the Scriptures
We believe the entire Bible is the inspired Word of God and that men were moved by the Spirit of God to write the very words of Scripture. We believe the Bible is without error.
About the Church
We believe that the church is the body of Christ, of which Jesus Christ is the head. The members of the church are those who have trusted by faith the finished work of Christ. The purpose of the church is to glorify God by loving him and making him known to the lost world.
About Humanity
We believe that all people were created in the image of God to have fellowship with him but became alienated in that relationship through sinful disobedience. As a result, people are incapable of regaining a right relationship with God through their own efforts.
About the Christian Life
We believe all Christians should live for Christ and not for themselves. By obedience to the Word of God and yielding to the Spirit of God, every believer should mature and be conformed to the image of Christ.
What We VALUE
Glad that you are taking time to access our core values as you plan a visit! ~ 1 Thessalonians 5:21
