About This Location
Northside Church of Christ serves the diverse community of Barstow, California, a historic desert city strategically positioned at the crossroads of major highways connecting Southern California to Las Vegas and beyond. Known as the “Gateway to the High Desert,” Barstow sits in the Mojave Desert region where Interstate 15 and Interstate 40 intersect, making it a natural stopping point for travelers and a home base for families drawn to the area’s affordable living and unique desert landscape.
The congregation welcomes both long-term residents and the many newcomers who discover Barstow’s appeal as a growing desert community. The city’s population includes military families from nearby Fort Irwin, railroad workers from the major BNSF Railway hub, and retirees attracted to the area’s lower cost of living compared to coastal California cities. The desert setting offers stunning mountain views and clear skies, with easy access to outdoor recreation opportunities.
As part of the broader Churches of Christ fellowship throughout California, Northside Church of Christ maintains the restoration movement’s commitment to New Testament Christianity and autonomous congregational structure. Visitors to Barstow—whether passing through on major travel routes or considering relocation to this emerging desert community—will find a congregation that understands the unique challenges and opportunities of desert living. The church serves as a spiritual anchor for those navigating life transitions in this dynamic crossroads city.
