“For you shall go out in joy and be led forth in peace.” – Isaiah 55:12 This verse has been my rock during this time of transition.

As we seek to constantly undertake the task of faithfully ministering to …
Northstar will take a short-term mission trip to San Sebastian, Spain from January 7-17 to minister to the Basque people. The Basque people are considered an Unreached People Group (UPG) according to the International Mission Board (IMB), which means that they have little or no access to the gospel.

On Sunday, October 6, 2013, Northstar Church came together. Literally. It was a gathering of generations. Former members (many of them founding members) joined current members and regular attenders and guests in a joint service of praise and worship. It was a humbling, joyful and celebratory experience.
