What Is Northside Associated Ministries?

Northside Associated Ministries (NAM) is a partnership of Episcopalians at St. Aidan's and Presbyterians at Northside Presbyterian who share the same church facilities and many common goals. Since 1966, both congregations have shared a unique Ecumenical Ministry. NAM is dedicated to providing an inclusive community for liturgical worship, spiritual growth, and social outreach.

The Joint Assembly of Northside Associated Ministries is the oversight body for the joint operations of our two congregations and is the corporate entity that holds the property for Northside Presbyterian and St. Aidan's Episcopal Churches. It is made up of the members of Northside's Session and St. Aidan's Vestry. It has responsibility for the property, joint program (education, social outreach, social) and shared staff of the organization.

NAM is committed to keeping the building and grounds open to serve as a neighborhood center. Each week our building is used by six Twelve-step groups. The Reehill Gallery, located in the lounge and library, is staffed by volunteers within both congregations. Local artists frequently have their first showing at Reehill. Local musicians, often presenting their own compositions, use the sanctuaries for concerts, which are open to the public. Our building and grounds are available for meetings and retreats. The Labyrinth in our back yard is always avaiable for walking meditation and our nature trails are open to the public.
