Northside Presbyterian Church

An inclusive community growing in faith

What is a More Light Congregation?

Early in its history, Northside Presbyterian Church committed itself to all our brothers and sisters in Christ, becoming the first More Light Presbyterian congregation in Michigan. As a More Light congregation, we seek to allow entrée for God’s illuminating Spirit through our open and affirming acceptance of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender persons in all aspects of church life—leadership as well as membership.

This does not mean, of course, that we believe we have “more light” than other churches. This phrase is used to describe over 130 congregations in the Presbyterian Church (USA) who openly affirm, in the words of 17th century pastor John Robinson, that “God hath yet more light to shed on [God’s] word.”

NORTHSIDE ASSOCIATED MINISTRIES (NAM) — Our Ecumenical Partnership

Since 1966, we have been sharing all facilities and some programs with St. Aidan’s Episcopal Church. This partnership in ministry, the second oldest relationship of its kind in the U.S., began in 1966 and was formalized in 1972 as Northside Associated Ministries (NAM). Though each congregation has its own sanctuary and worship services, we worship together many times throughout the liturgical year, and are deeply enriched by our co-ministry and fellowship
