Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us, to Him be glory in the church and in Jesus Christ throughout all generations, for ever and ever!
— Ephesians 3:20-21
Put in Motion
Back in 2001, Jesus began building a new little expression of his church called "NorthBridge." Year by year, he has called us to hold out the hope of the gospel and to live out his vision of a rich Kingdom family.
As we prepare for our 25th Birthday, we celebrate all that Jesus has done in our history — and we're called to something new. To intentionally prepare for what lies ahead. Now & Next is that new opportunity.
Now
This campaign will change our present experience. As our congregation has grown, space limitations are inhibiting growth and making connection harder. This project will deepen community, foster inclusion, nurture formation, strengthen families, and make room for more to find and follow Jesus.
Next
This endeavor also has a Next component. As the baton of leadership is slowly being passed to a new generation of leaders, this project will significantly reduce our debt, invest in our youngest generations, and set us up for an even more fruitful next 25 years.

The Now & Next addition touches every area of church life — creating environments that deepen relationships, nurture faith, and serve our community.
Student Ministry
With an average of 75 students on a typical night, our current student area is over-crowded. Young people are highly relational and need spaces to build community. Our new addition provides a major boost — doubling current capacity and creating a passage to the outdoor patio.

Kids Ministry
"Now & Next" will create space for up to 50% growth in our children's ministry. Three large classrooms, a large-group programming room, and an expanded family lobby will make pickup more enjoyable and create space for families to connect. A new Sensory Room ensures every child belongs.

Community Relationships
Jesus said, "All the world will know you are my disciples if you have love for one another." Our current space unintentionally moves people to exit quickly. Our new spaces will invite lingering, enjoying one another, and deepening connection as a church family.

Adult Learning
Sunday mornings are a great time for adult learning — but every room is already in use. This project includes renovation of our education wing to create two spaces for adult learning, plus a new medium-large capacity room for Formation courses, Bible/Theology classes, Milestone seminars, and Leadership training.
