Chattanooga

We long to embody Jesus across Chattanooga. The primary way to embody Jesus is for those of us who live in different areas of our city to love our neighbors as ourselves and to invite them into our fellowships.

The second way we want to embody Christ to people of Chattanooga is redeeming broken people and places in our city through targeted initiatives for them.

The following ministries are either staffed by North Shore members or are our partners through volunteer service:

• Afflicted & Oppressed

• College Students

• Counseling Services

• Women, Children, and Teens
