As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another.
Proverbs 27:17
At Northside Community, Gospel Communities (GoCo's) are central to our approach to discipleship. Jesus demonstrated that true discipleship happens most effectively within meaningful relationships. GoCo's are groups of 10–30 people committed to learning how to live out the Gospel of Jesus in everyday life. Together these groups focus on three key pathways:
Up
We believe Christ wants all people to have a real, personal encounter with Him. We pray together, read Scripture together, and worship together in order that we might not just know about Jesus, but know him experientially in our lives.
In
We believe Jesus called the Church to be a place where all can find a place to belong - to love and to be loved. In Gospel Communities, we strive to live as a spiritual households. That means celebrating together, enjoying life together, and being imitators of Christ to one another in the everyday rhythms of life.
Out
We believe Jesus calls the Church to live with purpose by actively taking the Gospel beyond the walls of a building. In Gospel Communities, we live as missional households, serving our local communities with intentionality. We seek to meet tangible needs and share the hope of Jesus through both our actions and our words.
