Great to see!!

It is a crazy thing, when we moved to Kennesaw, GA in 1991 I never planned on being around this area very long!! Here we are 16 years later and I cannot imagine living any where else! I love this community, I love the people but there is always a stirring in every leader to make a huge impact a lot of other places as well! The cool part is, God has sent us some guys through the years here at NorthStar that have gone out and made it happen other places and taken our heart to new communities.....
  • Aaron Coe, Lead Pastor, Gallery Church in Manhattan - Aaron is an amazing leader who is one of the best visionaries that I have ever met! Aaron and his wife Carmen & his team are doing an amazing job in the middle of NYC! Aaron served as our Elementary Pastor back in the early 2000's.....
  • Roscoe Lilly, Lead Pastor, NorthStar Church/Clifton Park, NY - Roscoe & his wife Mary are servants and have done an amazing job in up-state NY starting from absolutely nothing and at Easter having over 200 people. Mary served with us in our student ministry and Roscoe was a lay leader with us.....
  • Russ Butcher, Lead Pastor, The Church at the Grove/Loganville, GA - Russ is one of those guys that I have known for years in student ministry and then he served with us at NorthStar for 5 years. He had church planter written all over him and he & his wife Jill are an amazing team and blowing it out at CATG!
There are so many others that I could list but these are just a few guys are making it happen and I love reading their blogs and websites and keeping up with all of the stuff they have going! I am praying for more like them - I pray for the day we have a "NorthStar" influenced church in every state and we can see thousands across the US "exchange ordinary living for an extraordinary life"!! You can visit our website and see our network of churches that we have had a part in getting started - I am praying for many more!!

We will never forget our time at NorthStar. It forever shaped our hearts and minds and what it means to be the church.

Thank you for taking the time to invest in some very young kids.

We are so proud to call you our friend.

By the way that is one stinkin' cool picture of you on stage!
