Wherever you are in your faith journey, your next step matters. Get to know Northwood in our Next Steps Class, find a group, serve on a team, get baptized, or connect through prayer.

New to faith?

Congratulations on your decision to follow Christ! We’d love to walk alongside you as you grow. Explore baptism, attend our Next Steps Class, and find a group to connect with people who can encourage you.


Groups are an essential part of what we do at NC. We offer a variety of types of group to fit your need and season of life, from Biblically based Study Groups centered around various topics, to Sermon Series Groups that dig deeper into the weekly sermons. We also offer Freedom Groups that journey through life’s experiences and how to live free, and Pain to Purpose Groups designed to navigate through life’s most difficult seasons.

We also have Hangout Groups that gather to simply have fun, and groups geared specifically for Young Adults and Students.

We believe everyone has a part to play, one that honors your unique design, as you use your time, resources, and skills to serve God and others while making a difference.

Without you, we can’t accomplish all we are called to do as a Church. Serving with a Team isn’t about just filling a role, you’re helping build Christ-centered communities where people feel known and welcome.

Jesus calls all of His followers to make a public profession of faith in Him as Lord and savior, through baptism. It’s an important step of obedience declaring you’ve placed your trust in Jesus for salvation!
