Mission Statement
We are an Episcopal church plant in the Near Northside of Houston, founded in 2019. We invite you to come and grow with us. We are children. We are elders. We are single. We are couples and mulitracial families. Some of us are blank slates. Some are human canvases. We are gender affirming, and we are gender bending. We are converts and lifelong Christians. We are seekers. Most of us know our way around hell and now live courageous lives of love, liberation and celebration. At Northside Episcopal Church we are who we are. And, you can be you. We all join together as we pray, worship and serve our neighbors. Together we are becoming and sharing God’s light in community.
About This Cause
Spiritual formation is rooted in worship and extends into every aspect of our daily lives and work. If you are seeking a spiritual home where you can belong and grow, Northside Episcopal offers three different levels of spiritual formation. At Northside Episcopal we share a Way of Life: Gather Give Pray Grow All who join us, no matter your age, are invited to cultivate a way of life around these four habits—Gather, Give, Pray, Grow. If you want to go deeper into the 2,000 year-old Christian tradition and walk the spiritual path that Jesus pursued, Northside offers a formation method that is ongoing, yet structured. The methods and practices facilitate discovery and recovery of faith, self, and spirit. Its four components are: Encounter Jesus Live Sacramentally Pray in the Tradition of the Prophets Pursue a Purpose Because traditions are handed down from one generation and practitioner to another, we cannot pursue and make meaning of these four components alone, all by ourselves. This model is built on a combination of personal study and prayer, one-on-one and small group mentoring, and instructional opportunities to learn. Finally, for the few who are drawn to: Silence Meditation Serving others …we offer the contemplative laboratory. Think of it as a mini-monastery. This formation path is built on common and more demanding commitments to prayer and service. The contemplative laboratory is in development and open to seekers with loving hearts and open minds.
