Welcome

Welcome to North Shore United Methodist Church. We are delighted to have you come worship with us and be part of our community of faith. We want you to feel welcomed and at home. Here at North Shore we are on a journey together, an adventure in loving God and loving one another, an adventure in what the Kingdom of God looks like right here, right now.


Whether you have been a Christian your whole life or are just exploring the faith, North Shore is the place to openly and authentically ask questions, seek God, and grow with others on the journey. We have folks at each service to help guide you and show you around. Check out our programs for youth and children. We look forward to welcoming you to North Shore UMC!

Online Giving

How much should I give? The New Testament teaches giving in proportion to the material blessings we have received. Jesus affirmed the Old Testament tradition of tithing – giving 10% of our income or blessings. He praised the sacrificial generosity of the poor widow (Luke 21:1-4). We encourage giving a percentage of your income and moving toward, or beyond, the tithe as your goal as you grow in your generosity.


Why should I pledge and not just continue to give on Sunday? First, the process of prayerfully asking God to guide your decision and then making a commitment is an expression of gratitude and praise to God. Secondly, your commitment allows our church to budget and plan for our ministries in the coming year.


What if my situation changes and I need to change my commitment? We understand that life changes… just let us know if you need to make an adjustment.

What We Believe

  • God

    We believe in one God, who is exists in three distinct persons… The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

  • Jesus

    We believe in Jesus Christ, who is fully God and fully human and came to earth to bring about God’s reign through his life, death, and resurrection. Through faith in Jesus Christ we are able to receive forgiveness for our sin, enter into a relationship with the God who created us, and begin to be remade in God’s image.

  • The Holy Spirit

    We believe in the Holy Spirit, the third person of the Trinity. The Holy Spirit is at work in the world around us and lives within each follower of Christ to empower a life that reflects the lifestyle, values, and character of Jesus. When we sense God’s leading, God’s challenge, or God’s support or comfort, it’s the Holy Spirit at work.

  • The Church

    The Church is the body of Christ, made up of all those in a personal relationship with God through Jesus Christ, who are called to live in fellowship and worship together, as they join in God’s redeeming work in the world.

  • The Bible

    We believe The Bible is the primary authority for our faith and practice, and that the scriptures in both the Old and New Testament are the inspired Word of God..

  • God's Reign

    The reign of God, referred to in the Bible as “The Kingdom of God” or “The Kingdom of Heaven”, is both a present reality and future hope. We are able to experience God’s reign becoming a reality in our lives right now as we follow Jesus and experience the transforming work of the Holy Spirit. We are also invited to be a part of bringing God’s reign to the brokenness of this world so God can continue making things new. We look forward to a future day when Jesus will return and make all things right once again..

  • Human Beings

    We believe that humans are made in the image of God, with an original goodness and a capacity to love God and others, enjoy life, and exercise creativity. After the Fall, all humans inherited a sinful nature that prevents us from fully living into our original goodness on our own and has distorted the image of God within us. This results in a broken relationship with God, other people, ourselves, and all of creation. We are unable to fix this brokenness on our own, so we are in need of a savior who can both forgive us and restore us back to our original goodness. Despite our sinfulness, God still loves us and is at work bringing us back to God so we can live as new creations.
