The CHURCH as a universal community of Christ’s followers.
--
FORGIVENESS OF SIN as made possible by the life, death and resurrection of Jesus.

The denominational name – Presbyterian – comes from the Greek word presbyterios which means “elder.” The name refers to our form of government and signifies that a group of elders are responsible for church government.  Northwood is one of hundreds of churches in the Presbyterian Church (USA).

Presbyterians also are confessional, in that a Book of Confessions is part of our constitution. The latest confession is a Brief Statement of Faith (1991).

Northwood Presbyterian Church is a welcoming and caring congregation on Monroe Street in north Spokane. We meet together for worship on Sundays and for a number of activities for all ages throughout the week. Come and join us!  Worship begins at 10:30 AM during the school year and 9:30 AM during the summer.

JOIN US ANY SUNDAY - 10:30 AM Worship now underway!

Worship now includes Vocal and Hand Bell choirs!  Please let Choir Director Bob Brown know if you'd like to participate.  Rehearsals are on Wednesdays (6 PM hand bells and 7 PM vocal choir). 

Our 10:30 AM school year worship service still has some Covid-19 Protocols:  masks are now optional, and please use self-serve bulletins, offering plates and touch-free sanitizer.  

We have Coffee Time (self-serve) at tables in the Fellowship Hall after worship each Sunday!

Please see us ANYTIME on Facebook:  Northwood Presbyterian Church page.  Each Sunday's Choirs or special music are on there (we email video links to our congregation).

Northwood’s worship style is “blended,” in that we have a good mix of contemporary and traditional music in our worship service.  Our worship service begins each week with praise songs, and we have worship screens for our contemporary praise songs and PowerPoint sermon notes.  We also have a 12-member Choir that sings each week and a Handbell Choir that performs quarterly.

Northwood began as a new church start-up in 1958.  We constructed the first church building, but, just 4 years later, we needed a larger sanctuary.  Our sanctuary is noteworthy on the outside, but inside, beautiful wood trimmings and a cross rising out of river rock definitely draw worshippers closer to God. 

Over the years, Northwood has been known as a community-minded church that reaches out in the name of Jesus Christ in a variety of ways.  During a normal year, we do that with a coffee hour with goodies each week after worship, a strong music program, a community garden, a little community library, Youth Group and elementary-age tutoring "Homework Club" for neighborhood families.  We also have our summer VBX Woodshop, and summer camp for our youth at Camp Spalding.

As a church in the Presbyterian Church (USA), we call ourselves “Reformed” in our particular flavor of Christianity.  With this heritage, we strive to be gracious and relevant in the way we try to meet the spiritual needs of our congregation as well as the neighborhood and the world around us.
