Northview Church celebrated its 40-year anniversary Aug. 30 with concurrent celebrations at nine of its 13 campuses. The church began as a small group of people meeting in the music room at Carmel Elementary School in 1980 and has grown to include more than 12,000 people attending services weekly. Northview has campuses in Carmel, Fishers, Westfield and several other locations in central Indiana. It plans to relaunch in-person services the weekend of Sept. 12.
