About Us

Very quickly, this simple question reshaped into something bigger.

As a church, we realized that True North isn’t a direction on a map—True North is a Person.
Jesus Christ is the One we orient our lives toward.
He is steady when life shifts.
He is constant when culture changes.
He is the point on the compass that never moves.

What began as geography became a metaphor for everything we believe:
A church centered on Jesus will always find its way.

Though we are now a fully independent church, the name remains because the meaning has only grown deeper. Our hearts, our mission, and our community continue to be set on Him.

At Hayden True North Church, we help people align their lives with Jesus—our unchanging True North.

The mission of the Church of the Nazarene is to make Christlike disciples in the nations.

We are a Great Commission church. As a global community of faith, we are commissioned to take the Good News of life in Jesus Christ to people everywhere and to spread the message of scriptural holiness across the lands.

The Church of the Nazarene bonds together individuals who have made Jesus Christ Lord of their lives, sharing in Christian fellowship, and seeking to strengthen each other in faith development through worship, preaching, training, and service to others.

We strive to express the compassion of Jesus Christ to all persons along with our personal commitment to Christlike living. While the primary motive of the church is to glorify God, we also are called to actively participate in His mission — reconciling the world to himself.

The statement of mission contains historical essentials of our mission: Evangelism, Sanctification, Discipleship, Compassion. The essence of holiness is Christlikeness. Nazarenes are becoming a sent people-into homes, work places, communities, and villages as well as other cities and countries. Missionaries are now sent from all regions of the world. God continues calling ordinary people to do extraordinary things made possible by the person of the Holy Spirit.

We are a church empowered by the love of Jesus with undeniable warmth and radical grace. Every person is seen, valued, and embraced—no matter their past, their struggles, or their story. We overflow with compassion, not just in words but in action: feeding the hungry, comforting the hurting, and standing with the broken. Worship is alive and authentic, not just on Sundays, but in the way we live every day. You find laughter in the hallways, prayers in the quiet places, and a deep sense of purpose driving every ministry. We raise up leaders, nurture children in truth and love, and send people out into the world to serve with boldness. In every moment, we seek to reflect the heart of Jesus—full of mercy, full of truth, and full of love that never gives up.

Who we are

What's with the name, True North?

Our name tells our story.

Hayden True North Church began as a mission plant from our Coeur d’Alene campus. Because our new gathering was located north of CDA, early conversations naturally turned toward the compass—Which way is true north? What does it mean to point in the right direction?
