We Love Our Team!

At North Avenue, we believe the church is not just a building but a family on mission together. Our team is made up of passionate people who are committed to serving God and supporting one another as we grow in faith together. Each team member brings unique gifts, talents, and a deep love for Christ, united by the mission of sharing His love and message with the world.

We are excited to introduce you to the people who help lead and serve our church community. Whether in worship, teaching, outreach, or pastoral care, our team is dedicated to fostering an environment where everyone feels welcome and empowered to grow in their relationship with God.

Get to know us better, and feel free to reach out—we’d love to connect with you!
