Prayer Walk

Experience peace and reflection on Northgate’s Prayer Walk, a serene path designed for quiet moments with God. Nestled within our church grounds in Batavia, NY, the Prayer Walk offers a  setting where you can step away from the busyness of life, meditate on scripture, or simply enjoy the beauty of nature. The walk is open daily from dawn to dusk, inviting you to pause, pray, and connect with God in a meaningful way. Thoughtfully placed benches  along the path provide opportunities to rest, reflect, and be inspired.

Disc Golf Course

Our Disc Golf Course at Northgate is a short, technical, and wooded 9-hole course located in Batavia, NY.  Designed to challenge players of all skill levels, the course weaves through our wooded areas, offering a fun and engaging experience for both beginners and seasoned players alike. We’re proud to be featured on UDisc, allowing you to easily find our course, track your scores, and connect with other disc golfers.
