Because God's love in Jesus Christ has broken down walls that divide us, we embody that love in our congregation and thus welcome persons of all races, sexual orientations and economic circumstances. A vibrant congregation of more than 600 members—with many more calling the church their home—Northaven is known for inspiring worship and music, interest in the arts, outreach to the community and sensitivity to inclusiveness. All are welcome.

The Arts Commission of Northaven invites you to share in the wide variety of creativity generated by members of our congregation. Art will be displayed throughout the church, upstairs and down, along both gallery walkways, in the Education hallway as well as the Atrium. If you find a piece that steals your heart, you may even purchase it! Viewing is open during the week and on Sundays during regular church day / evening hours and on Saturdays from 10 - 1 p.m.
The 2012 Art Share will close on Saturday, Feb. 25, with a "Pick-Up Party" from 2 to 4 p.m. All bids will be finalized at that time, and art pieces will be picked up by the contributing artists and/or their patrons. There will be refreshments, music and a time to mingle with our resident arty folks as well as a final time to peruse and celebrate their creative spirits.
