Missions
“But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” Acts 1:8 (NIV)
Missions at Northside
Northside Church goes into the community and beyond
“Then he said to his disciples, ‘The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.”
Matthew 9:37-38
At Northside Church, we take this calling to heart. Our mission is to bring people to Jesus and learn to follow Him together. This includes stepping into the harvest through service, outreach, and missions both locally and around the world. Our missions welcome anyone who is looking to grow in faith and take their next step with Jesus.
MISSION TRIP OPPORTUNITY
Mission Trip to Scotland, Orkney Islands
October 2-10, 2026
Total Cost: $4,100 per person
U.S. Passport Required
Countless souls are perishing across Scotland’s most deprived communities. The schemes are strong and vibrant Scottish communities with a rich history but are often hit hard by complex social problems. They also happen to be the places least likely to have a gospel church or indigenous Christians. The local church is the answer. Christ is building His church and transforming the schemes of Scotland. He has used 20 schemes to reach more than 16 schemes across Scotland so far.
Join us as we pour into a brand-new scheme ministry in Orkney, pouring into the youth of the community as well as their newly acquired Community Center.
This trip includes round trip airfare, guest housing, meals, ground transportation, ministry supplies, and trip insurance.
MISSION TRIP OPPORTUNITY
Mission Trip to New York City
October 16-18, 2026
Total Cost: $525 per person
Ages 16+ unless accompanied by a parent.
New York City is one of the most international and diverse cities in the world and a mission field full of opportunity. Since 1984, the New York School of Urban Ministry (NYSUM) has hosted, trained, and sent out more than 150,000 youth and adults to serve alongside inner-city pastors, churches, and ministries throughout NYC.
Each year, around 5,000 people come through NYSUM’s doors, receiving practical, hands-on training for urban ministry. Teams come from churches, Bible colleges, missions organizations, and universities. Many return home inspired to start similar outreach efforts in their own communities.
During a trip, groups learn about cross-cultural urban ministry while serving those in need, including the homeless, abused women, at-risk children, and people from a variety of religious and cultural backgrounds. Outreach opportunities include street ministry, soup kitchens, kids’ programs, city shelters, and more.
NYSUM operates out of a 70,000 square foot training and resource center in Astoria, Queens. They provide accommodations and home-style meals for both small and large teams. This is a great opportunity to experience the heart of ministry in the city while being equipped to serve wherever God leads next.
This trip includes meals, housing, ground transportation and ministry supplies.
