Northwood Church is passionate about serving others in our local community and cities in South Mississippi. Every city has a special need and we are focused on doing our part to meet those needs. We accomplish this through large SERVE day events and volunteering across the community.
We are excited to represent Jesus across our community of the Greater MS Gulf Coast!
