Since Northland began webcasting its services in 2006, online worshipers have reported bringing the church into some very unusual places: offices, coffee shops, military bases … even a Burger King restaurant. This month, Northland brought webstream worship to a place that is literally cut off from the rest of the world: John E. Polk Correctional Facility in Sanford, Florida.
