Welcome To North Christian Church

More Than a Building On September 25, 1955, forty-three persons banded together in Christian love to organize North Christian Church. On September 2, 1962 and the congregation held a groundbreaking ceremony. The first worship service in the new church took place on March 8, 1964. On July 16th, 2022 the congregation held a final “Celebration of Life” service and closed the church.

While Eero Saarinen’s architectural masterpiece became an important part of our story, it’s not the whole story.  We will be shutting this website down soon and creating a legacy website dedicated to the vision, history, and ministry of the congregation of North Christian Church.

Note to visitors: The church is permanently closed and no longer allowing tours of the building.

Open and Affirming

North Christian Church was an Open and Affirming Congregation of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) that celebrated the lives and ministries of all of our members with a particular welcome to persons who are LGBTQ+. North Christian Church welcomed LGBTQ+ persons as members, serving as any other member serves, in all church positions. The church provided LGBTQ+ persons all services of the church. Everyone was welcome!

Celebration of Life Service

On Saturday, July 16th at 11:00 am as we celebrated  67 years of ministry and the legacy we leave behind. You can listen to the service here, if you like.

We had several guest speakers, communion, and beautiful music, including hymns and instrumental pieces played on the Holtcamp organ and piano.

Youtube claimed a copyright on one of the hymns and as a result added advertising to the video. Apologies in advance for that.
