Intern Opportunities
Northstar is currently accepting applications for its intern program. The one-year program gives participants exposure and insight to working in ministry and helps them discern their own unique calling to ministry and service--whether in future vocational ministry or in marketplace ministry. If you are a college student or recent graduate and are looking for ways to experience ministry first-hand and grow in your gifts, then we would love to invite you to be a part of our team!
Learn more here.

New Volunteer Training
Have you joined our children's ministry volunteer team since September? If so, then you are invited to join us for New Volunteer Training. It will be a great time of learning, fellowship, and fun! As we approach summer, we will be in need of several new children's ministry volunteers, so even if you're not already serving, you are welcome to join us and learn the ins and outs of Northstar Kids! Join us on Saturday, April 1 from 10:00 to 11:30 a.m. Child care and a light breakfast will be provided!

Northstar Volunteer Ministry
A new semester has begun in Blacksburg and at Northstar Church. With the new semester come new opportunities to serve and we are actively looking for folks who are interested in meeting new people and want to invest in God's kingdom through service. You are encouraged to get involved in an area where you can use your talents to bless others, whether that be through set up and tear down on Sundays or in helping with children's ministry.
More info here.

Family Bible Reading Plan
Northstar's Children's Ministry believes that it is crucial for parents to be deeply involved in discipling their children and fostering their growth in Christ. That's why we are encouraging our families to participate in a new Family Bible Reading Plan. Stop by our table this Sunday and pick up your copy of the reading plan as well as a free, age-appropriate Bible that you and your child can read through together.
