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.
During the Covid-19 outbreak this year, we are continuing our Special Music schedule instead of Vocal Choir; please let Choir Director Bob Brown know if you'd like to help out this fall. Rehearsals for Bells and Praise Team also are postponed.
Our 10:30 AM worship service has resumed with many Covid-19 Protocols in place: wear a mask (some available if you forget), sit six feet apart (unless the same household), use self-serve bulletins, offering plates and touch-free sanitizer, and no food or Communion (except video; join us at home) through the fall. Please see us on Facebook: Northwood Presbyterian Church page. Each Sunday's music and message is on there as well as video links emailed 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 20-member Choir that sings each week and a Handbell Choir that performs frequently. If you come a few minutes early, coffee and cookie hospitality welcomes participants in the sanctuary lobby.

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. Currently, 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 continue each summer with our unique VBX Woodshop.
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.
