Northside\u2019s continued commitment to service gained the attention and trust of additional partners. Recognizing the stability the church was creating for its neighborhood, the city invested additional resources in the area by creating a walking trail on the property behind the location where the new church building was to be constructed. In addition, as a sign of solidarity, the owner of an auto repair shop across the street donated property to be used for church parking.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to the trust shown by these partners and the visionary and strategic vision of its leadership, including Rev. Orlando Richmond, Northside Christian Church retains its long-time members and attracts new Disciples, who are drawn to the energy of the church\u2019s ministries. These ministries include tutoring area school children, a youth mime ministry that has attracted national attention, and other women\u2019s and men\u2019s ministries that connect members to community in impactful ways.<\/p>\n<p>Rev.
