Northside Movement Center

Northside Movement Center is a community-focused venue and gathering hub in North St. Louis, created to support meetings, workshops, training sessions, civic programmes, cultural activities and organised events. The centre occupies a substantial renovated building on Goodfellow Boulevard and brings together convening space, collaborative work areas and community services under one roof.

The venue is designed for organisations, grassroots groups, educators, advocates and event organisers who need a practical place to meet, plan, learn and connect. Its facilities support a wide range of uses, from leadership development and community organising sessions to public discussions, networking events, educational programmes and cultural gatherings. The centre also provides a setting for groups that want their event to have a strong local and community-rooted identity.

Northside Movement Center is anchored by Action St. Louis and ArchCity Defenders, with the building serving as a base for advocacy, organising and direct services. Alongside its office and service functions, the centre includes meeting and gathering areas intended for residents, community organisations and external groups. Its flexible character makes it suitable for smaller meetings, training days, workshops, planning sessions, forums and other events that require an accessible, purpose-led setting.

The building has a strong local history, having previously operated as the New Northside Missionary Baptist Church’s Family Life Center and Conference Center. Following a major renovation, it now forms part of a new civic and community hub for North St. Louis. Organisers looking for a distinctive venue with a clear social mission can contact the centre to discuss available spaces and event requirements.
