Clairemont, San Diego · Since 1953
There’s room at the table.
We’re a small, multi-generational church that loves God and our neighbors as ourselves. Bring your questions, your kids, your doubts — we’ll have the coffee on.
Who is Northminster?
We’re a neighborhood church in Clairemont — families, empty-nesters and retirees, about sixty of us on a Sunday. Small enough that you’ll be known by name. Close enough that we show up for each other.
We exist to love God and our neighbors as ourselves. That’s the whole idea, and it shapes everything: how we worship, how we eat together on Wednesday nights, how we tend a garden with the neighborhood, and how we show up for San Diego.

— How Northminster describes itself
Our story
It started in a Clairemont duplex.
In December 1953, a handful of neighbors began meeting in a living room. Eleven years later they broke ground on the tented, mid-century sanctuary we still worship in today.
