The Unshakable Initiative
Northside is growing, our community is changing, and the opportunities before us require a level of faith, unity, and sacrifice we cannot reach through our regular rhythms of life. We need an initiative that rallies our entire church around a shared mission: to equip every person, serve every community, and send every generation into the calling God has placed on us.
We need the Unshakable Initiative because our mission requires us to be a church that stands firm in a world that is constantly shifting. Over the next three years, we will become…
A church unshaken by culture, challenges, or change.
A church united in purpose, anchored in Scripture, and sacrificial in love.
A church where every person participates in the work of God, not as spectators but as contributors.
21 DAYS OF PRAYER
Being an Unshakable church begins with prayer. Prayer aligns our hearts with God’s heart. When we pray first, we shift the focus from what we can do to what God wants to do in and through us. Join us for 21 Days of Prayer starting on February 8. By the time we reach the 21st day, we will come with prepared hearts, confident that our response to this initiative flows from faith, trust, and obedience.
More than a generosity initiative
It’s a spiritual formation journey.
It’s a call to risk-taking faith.
It’s an invitation to unity.
It’s a pathway to transformation — in us and through us.
The Unshakable Initiative positions Northside to move forward with confidence, expand our impact, and prepare for the lives God is entrusting to us.
_________________________
Transformation doesn’t happen by accident. It requires intentionality, change, and collective commitment. To create environments where more lives can be discipled, to strengthen the ministries that shape families, and to expand our reach into the neighborhoods around us, we must take bold steps of faith — steps that stretch us but ultimately strengthen us.
This is our moment to build something that will outlast us — something unshakable. If you would like to give over the course of three years, use the commitment card link below.

No. The largest portion of the Unshakable Initiative supports the ongoing ministry budget of Northside over the next three years. In addition, funds are designated for Impact, expanding ministry beyond our campus through residency, church planting, and world and community partners.
Projects are planned to be completed in phases. We will move forward responsibly based on what is received, prioritizing ministry impact, safety, and long-term stewardship.
- Budget planning aligned with the full initiative scope
- Ministry prioritization based on urgency, necessity, and impact
- Phased implementation over three years.
- Regular financial review by leadership and finance team
All funds are handled with prayer, accountability, and oversight by church leadership and finance teams. Spending is reviewed regularly against approved budgets, and updates are shared throughout the initiative.
Regular giving sustains ongoing ministry. The Unshakable Initiative allows us to address long-term needs, restore our campus, and expand our impact in ways that aren’t possible through normal operating rhythms alone.
We want to be transparent without being overwhelming. Most people want to understand where the money is going and how decisions are made, not review hundreds of individual line items. That’s why we share clear totals and categories publicly and make additional detail available upon request.
Yes. We’re happy to walk through additional details with anyone who would like them. Category breakdowns, major project explanations, and phasing timelines are available upon request.
