Travels with Northside

Travels with Northside is celebrating its 20th Anniversary year! Come join us!

Travels with Northside is a travel, fellowship and outreach ministry for adults of all ages, serving church members and the community. Most of our trips are day trips in and around Atlanta and the state of Georgia. However, we do make some overnight trips. You’ll see some great and memorable sights, experience the magnificence of God’s creation and meet some wonderful and caring people. To learn more about our upcoming trips, click on the “Travels with Northside” tab or contact Anne Parr at 678.298.5033.
