Help NorthStar Move
NorthStar is moving and we need some help! We are moving on Saturday, April 20, from our Manassas office to our new office in Falls Church and need some volunteers to help us load and unload. Since the two locations are a good distance apart, we're hoping to have two teams, one to help us load up our truck in Manassas and another team to help us unload in Falls Church.
Multi-Use Strategy Summit
Join like-minded leaders to talk through how your church could be known as the cornerstone of encouragement and growth for families in your community.
During the conference, you and your team will work on a plan to make your church a place of improved stewardship and greater community impact. You’ll learn how to use spaces and leverage them responsibly. Plus, you’ll learn how to structure pricing so that you can meet your community needs while off-setting costs and building church resources for future growth.
