Northside Baptist Church is part of the Revolution Mill Community. Many of the community members have ties to the neighborhood that date back to the beginning of the 20th century. Cypress, Maple, Church, Cornwallis, Yanceyville, are all streets is the local area. The church, located at 1100 East Cornwallis, was founded in 1907. The building and congregation have changed quite a bit since the early years. However, the vision of loving Jesus and glorifying Christ and sharing God's love through worship remains constant.
To add a little perspective, Greensboro was founded in 1808 and a Baptist church was first consecrated in Greensboro in 1859*, so Northside was founded nearly fifty years after the Baptists first organized in Greensboro. At that time, the above church truly was way north of town! Nearby Revolution Mill opened in 1898 so Northside was built less than ten years later to accommodate the Baptist mill workers in the community, surrounding the mill. The mills in Greensboro have so much history and one of the best places to go to learn more is the Greensboro History Museum.

I like the look of the church.
