Church Description


Twenty years ago, North Shore Fellowship was planted by Lookout Mountain Presbyterian Church on the north shore of the Tennessee River. Today, we embrace our mission to be and make disciples in Chattanooga and beyond through word and sacrament, becoming like Jesus in community and on mission. Combined average attendance at our three Sunday worship services (8:30, 9:45, 11 AM) is just over 500, and members range in age from young children to retirees. Our campus is just across the river from downtown in a bustling area, surrounded by recreation, retail, restaurants, parks, tourists, and many enjoyable events.
