We asked our church family to submit their reflections and thoughts about the Immeasurably More process. We're calling them "Rooted Moments."

Has it really been three years? In October 2015, Northstar launched its first capital campaign to raise funds for our first ministry center. Since that time, we have experienced God in so many different ways. It's been humbling to what God provide over $3 million through giving. It was surreal and encouraging to see a rainbow on [...]
