The First Baptist Church of Princeton, Kentucky purchased the International Harvester Company Building and property located on the corner of Dawson Road and Madisonville Street. The property was purchased with the intent of beginning a new church. In the next 31 days, the building was repaired and was made ready to move into. A revival was held on April 10, 1949. On May 8, 1949, members met in the building and elected Sunday School officers for that year. pastor of the new church was to be Bro. H.G.M. Hatler and the Sunday School Director was Mr. Gorman Mitchell. On May 15, 1949, the first Sunday School classes were held with 45 present. On September 4, 1949 under the direction of Bro. Hatler, Northside Baptist Church was organized with 77 charter members. On January 8, 1950, Bro. Irvin Parrett became the first pastor of the new church. Construction of the first church building began May 5, 1951 and was completed in November of that year at a cost of $35,000. This first Sanctuary, now called the Hatler Building, is located on the corner of the original property.
   In 1985, construction began on the second sanctuary, where Northside currently holds services. This construction project included the building of offices, bathrooms, choir room, and sanctuary.
   In recent years, Northside added the Recreational Outreach Center (R.O.C.) to allow for additional ministries, such as Upward cheerleading and basketball. Some Sunday School classes also meet in the R.O.C. The R.O.C. is used for socials and churchwide events. Outreach events such as Camo Night has become possible due to the building of this third structure.
   Northside Baptist Church is a church who shares Christ with the community and area in and around Princeton, Kentucky. We do whatever it takes to make disciples of Christ.
