About Northland Christian Church

Northland Christian Church has a legacy that spans over 130 years, beginning in North Topeka in 1887. In the 1960s, the congregation moved to its current location on NW Topeka Blvd, adopting the name Northland Christian Church. With each move and expansion, our mission stayed consistent: to love God and love people. Northland has continued to serve the community with deep roots and a bright future. In the past three years, we’ve seen a surge in growth fueled through our vibrant family ministries, welcoming primarily unchurched and dechurched people who are discovering faith. Each weekend, our doors open to new faces, many of whom take a step of faith for the first time. We look forward to continuing this legacy and inviting others to join in our vision to make Jesus the Center of Every Home.
