North Way Worship at the Worship Cafe


About Services at the Worship Cafe
Join us every Sunday at 11am in the Worship Cafe at North Way's Wexford Campus. We understand the need to belong. We are about loving God and loving others. We view all who join us as a needed member of our community: you can belong here. North Way is known as a large church with much to offer, but some people want a smaller, more intimate service. That's why we've created North Way at the Worship Cafe. Because we know not everyone wants to worship in the same way. We are a part of North Way Christian Community. Our mission is the same: Freeing people to follow Jesus.
