If you are new to the Valdosta area, let us be
among the first to welcome you. In today’s transitional world, we see many
people coming and going on a regular basis. But don’t let that stop you from
visiting our church.
At Northside, you will experience a warm fellowship which provides
opportunities for social interaction and spiritual growth and education for all
ages. We are a church with staff members who specifically minister to every age
group. So whether you are investigating the truths of Jesus Christ or someone
who has faithfully walked with Him for years, you are welcome at Northside
Baptist Church.
Frequently Asked Questions pertaining to
Northside Baptist Church:
 | Do you have contemporary or
traditional worship?
We have relevant worship at Northside with a blended style. The blend is an
intentional endeavor to meet the needs of many, rather than focus on one
particular style. If you visit one week and you did not experience the style you
were looking for, just come back next week and you may find it then. More than
anything we want to point people to worship God and experience His love. |
 | What should I wear? The Sunday morning dress style is something that ranges from one’s Sunday
best to casual and comfortable dress. Sunday evenings and Wednesday evenings are
always casual. Don’t worry about what you will wear when you come, just come! |
 | When should I arrive?
We have two Sunday School and two worship hours. For those early morning
folks, our first Sunday School begins at 8:25 a.m. with the 9:40 a.m. worship
hour to follow. The second Sunday School begins at 9:45 a.m. and the 11:00 a.m.
worship hour follows. As a general rule, it is always a good idea to arrive a
few minutes early so we can greet you and get you where you need to be. |
 | Where should I park?
We have over 200 parking spaces on our campus. That is usually enough for
most Sundays but if you cannot find a space, we have auxiliary parking at
several doctors offices around the campus. The east side parking lot closest to
the sanctuary is specially reserved for guests. |
 | Where would my children go?
We have a Sunday School class for every age group. From a nursery area to
preschool, children, youth, college-aged, singles and all adult ages, we a have
a Sunday School class for everyone. During the worship hours, we encourage
parents of infants and preschoolers to take advantage of the extended care
available. For children ages five through second grade, our children’s pastor
provides a relevant, age-appropriate worship experience. If you have questions
about children or preschoolers, feel free to email your questions to
nbc@nbcvaldosta.org or contact Chip Fuller,
our minister of education at
chip@nbcvaldosta.org.

Common Concerns About Larger Churches
 | Aren't all large
churches unfriendly? Certainly not! Northside is a friendly fellowship, and we have many guests
each week. We would love for you to be one of them. |
 | Won't I get lost
in the crowd in a big church?
Only if you choose to do so. We are big enough to allow you to keep your
anonymity, but have small groups to allow you to develop close, meaningful
relationships as well. |
 | Does a big church
really need my help in ministry?
Of course we do! The larger the church, the more volunteer personnel we need
to continue to grow. We always need more workers for the great harvest God wants
to reach. |
 | Can I trust what
is preached and taught? Absolutely!
We base our preaching and teaching on God’s Word, the Bible, and strive to
make it relevant to your life today. |
 | Can I have a
personal visit from a staff member or other leader to answer any
questions? Just
let us know when we can come! Or perhaps you would like to set up a
time to visit in the office and have a tour of the church. Just contact us
at
nbc@nbcvaldosta.org and we will be in
touch. |
