Ministries
Outreach
Jesus told his followers to "make disciples of all the nations" in Matthew 28:19. Northside embraces this charge in a number of ways, including a long-running television program, sending missionaries worldwide, and training church members to be effective witnesses of Christ to their friends.
Know Your Bible
In 1986 Northside started a television program
called Know Your Bible. It can be seen every Sunday morning at 10:00 on
Channel 3 in Wichita and can also be seen all over Kansas and in parts
of Oklahoma, Missouri, Illinois, Colorado, Nebraska, Arkansas, Iowa, and
South Dakota. During the program, three preachers (current and former
ministers at Northside) answer Bible questions that have been called in
by viewers. Free Bible correspondence courses are offered, and thousands
of viewers have taken advantage of the study opportunity. Visit

more information about this effective method of spreading the Good News
of Jesus.
International
Missions
Northside believes strongly in being the “salt of the earth” and the “light of the world”. One way we do that is by sending missionaries to all parts of the world to spread the Good News of Jesus Christ. Missionaries from Northside are currently working in Scotland, Argentina, Mexico, and Japan.
Local Evangelism
This ministry is charged with training Northside members to share the Good News about Jesus with those who need him, one of the most important things that Christians are to do.
Community Benevolence
In Matthew 10:42 Jesus told his followers that “if anyone gives even a cup of cold water to one of these little ones because he is my disciple…he will certainly not lose his reward." One way the Christians at Northside follow this command is to cooperate with other churches of Christ in Wichita to operate Simple House, which distributes food and clothing downtown to those in need.
Greeting
When people visit Northside, greeters and ushers make a special effort to help them feel welcome, show them to Bible classes, and give them information to answer any questions they might have.
Sunday Guest Lunch
Every Sunday (except holidays) some of our members prepare lunch to share with visitors. It’s our way of saying “thanks for coming”. The lunch is held in the Multipurpose Room, directly across from the auditorium. If you’re visiting, please plan to join us!
Intern Training
In 2006, Northside took on the challenge of providing one-year internships to preaching school graduates who want practical experience before beginning full-time ministry.
