God is at work in the lives of people right here in our church and community.
We love sharing those stories of hope, transformation, healing, and purpose.
We believe every story matters because every story points to God’s goodness and grace.
Be encouraged by a few stories from our own people and ministries.

TAINO FEARS-PEREZ
“Jesus, here I am. Here I stand. Here I surrender all.”
After running from God, Taino discovered that God’s mercy is greater than our disobedience, and His call never expires. No matter how far we run, we can never outrun the heart of our Heavenly Father.
Throughout our Jonah series, we’ve been challenged to read Jonah as a mirror, not a window. Instead of simply seeing Jonah’s story, we should ask God to reveal our own hearts.
What idols do you need to surrender? What is God asking you to repent of so you can step more fully into the calling He has for your life?

DUNCAN FAMILY SENDING STORY
After years of faithful student ministry at Northstar Church, the Duncan family is answering the call to serve as full-time missionaries to Italy. It is a joy to send and support them as their home church and to link arms with them as they share the gospel of Jesus Christ throughout Europe. They will support a church-planting initiative in Northern Italy while also caring for and counseling local pastors.
Please continue to pray for them and their four children as they step into this new season of exciting and challenging obedience.

Greece Partnership
We are honored to highlight the work Mark Petrou is doing through the Petalouda Educational Center in Athens, Greece. Hear Mark share about the realities the Roma community faces, including their living conditions, daily challenges, and the barriers that make education and support so vital. Mark also discusses the organization's prayer for a future church plant to bring Gospel transformation from within. We’re thankful for the opportunity to partner with Greece as they continue this meaningful ministry.
Andy Keeley
Andy Keeley grew up in church but never felt a real connection with God; it all felt like routine. That changed in his 30s when a neighbor boldly shared the gospel with him in a personal, direct way. In that moment, Andy accepted Christ and experienced a powerful transformation. Looking back, he sees how God used that encounter, and years of prayer from his family, to draw him into a genuine relationship with Jesus.
StUDENT CAMP
Each year, our middle and high school students have the opportunity to have an intentional time away from Northstar where they can connect with God and other students through meaningful teaching, worship, and group discussions. Over the years, we have seen God at work through this extended and intentional time together!
Sent Conference 2024
Sent Conference 2024 was an afternoon of celebration and inspiration through stories and films! We celebrated what God has done through the NS family all around the world, and we’re asking you to consider your role in God’s global kingdom.
