Richard White, Pastor
I have been serving Northside as pastor since July '06, and I must say we are on a great journey. My calling as pastor is detailed in Ephesians 4:11-12, "And He Himself gave some to be...pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ." The Lord is blessing as we are seeing lives changed, leaders rise up, and the church truly become the body of Christ.
I am married to Elise, the best wife a guy could ask for (I'm in way over my head). We have two wonderful kids - Maddie (4) and Hayes (2).
