We're Glad You're Here
We believe we must grow larger because we want to reach more people for Christ. At the same time, we must grow smaller because you matter.
Welcome to Northgate. Thank you for taking the time to check us out online. Our goal at Northgate is to help people become whole-hearted followers of Jesus. Particularly people who are not connected with the church. Maybe you've been burned by church, given up on church, or have no church experience at all. We want to help people discover a relationship with God that's authentic, relevant, and life-changing. If you look at the life and ministry of Jesus that's exactly what He did. He accepted people the way they were, He showed them what they could become, and then He helped them take the steps of faith to move them in that direction. Jesus engaged with irreligious people, He talked about real-life issues, and then He demonstrated His unconditional love on a cross. It's His grace that makes all the difference; and it's our hope and prayer that you experience the life-transforming power of His grace here at Northgate.
Take some time to check out our website, listen to a podcast or watch a sermon video and get a feel for who we are, but more importantly, we hope you'll come and meet us in person. When you come, come the way you are, engage in worship, and open your heart to see what God might have for you.

What People Are Saying
From first-time visitors to life-long members, here are what some of them have to say about Northgate.
Love worship, the message and what you’re doing for the community.
The sermon it was very useful. And I saw that you have more intense Bible classes during the week.
As soon as we got to the front doors, we were greeted and welcomed in with open arms. I like that.
I cried. It felt good to praise and worship again. I hadn't been attending church for a few years. So just feeling the presence of the Holy Spirit was great!
Many people in the foyer that seemed involved...not just attending.
The stage was very cool for the worship team and your $1.00 giving program to someone local is amazing and touched both of our hearts.
The worship and sermon were both great at our first and second visit. We will definitely be back again!
I felt that the pastor was right on biblically and felt the holy spirit there, and my son who is 12 enjoyed listening to the service and got a lot out of it. He liked it and wanted to stay and I felt comfortable there as well.
Northgate is a non-denominational church located in beautiful Benicia, CA. Our staff and volunteers can't wait to meet and pray with you.
