But if you’re not sure what your next steps are, we have no doubt that entering into a disciple-making relationship, being in community with other believers, and digging deeper into the Bible are some of the best places to start.

Northland’s Biggie Choir is a gathering of singers from all backgrounds who love to worship. We affectionately call it “Biggie Choir” since it’s a bigger vocal team than our typical weekly worship team. This group comes together to prepare and lead weekend worship services periodically throughout the year. Anyone in fifth grade and older can participate. While no audition is required, you will be expected to memorize music and sing harmonies. Biggie Choir is a fantastic way to lead worship at Northland with a less stringent time commitment. Childcare is provided for rehearsals and services.
What if I’m just a novice singer or I get stage-fright?
No worries; that’s exactly what the Biggie Choir is for! On Biggie weekends, we all sing together in a choir formation on stage. You won’t be alone, and our weekly worship team will be singing on stage with you. Biggie Choir is made up of singers from all backgrounds and levels, and our vocal directors and worship team will make sure you are comfortable!
What is the time commitment?
We typically have rehearsals on the two Thursday evenings leading up to the weekend of worship. The rehearsals are at Northland and last for about two hours.
We also have rehearsals before each service that begin about one to two hours before each service. We use this time for a vocal sound check and rehearsal with the band.
We also ask that you consider volunteering to participate in all of the weekend worship services if you can, but that is not necessary. (Service times are Saturdays at 5 p.m., Sundays at 9 a.m. and 11 a.m., and Mondays at 7 p.m.)
Do I have to read music?
No. While you will find that many of our Biggie Choir members do read music, there are several that do not. We provide vocal breakdowns of each part when possible for you to listen to throughout the weeks leading up to our weekend worship.

Nanas, Papas, and Friends: Share the Joy of Reading with Children
Nanas, Papas and Friends share the joy of reading on a one-to-one basis with students in either the Boys and Girls Club or at Goldsboro Elementary Magnet School in Sanford. We welcome all who have become Dividends (fancy word for being a volunteer) (https://www.scps.k12.fl.us). We read with pre-kindergarten, kindergarten, and special needs children on Wednesday mornings from 9:15-11:00 one-on-one. Some of us tutor children in the Reading Acceleration Program (RAP) created to help first or second graders who are reading below grade level. We read Tuesday-Friday afternoons from 3:30-6:00 at the Boys and Girls Club. Rebekah will meet you to connect you with one child at a time to tutor and mentor. These children who may be struggling readers are greatly encouraged and make significant progress when caring people who love reading are there to show them they believe in them. Come Join us! This program which began out of Northland 18 years ago has a positive impact for everyone involved. The students develop a love of reading, teachers appreciate having additional help, and volunteers know that their effort makes a difference.

PetPals is a 23 year old ministry of Northland Church designed to serve residents and staff in 6 assisted living facilities and nursing homes. We provide comfort and smiles with our dogs, cats, and volunteers. As volunteers, the folks at the end of the leash, we serve as disciples of Christ by actively listening to residents' stories and asking questions of these wise, chronologically-gifted people.
We created Pen Pals to continue serving during the pandemic since we cannot take normal visits inside the facilities. Pen Pals write letters, send cards and photos, share favorite Bible verses, and truly provide a bright spot for some very lonely people. Become a Pen Pal and you’ll be blessed by the process of connecting. Just send a note to Bob Wright at the email included here and say yes.
Share your pets with people in nursing homes, assisted-living facilities, etc.

Serving the Needs fo Single Parents in the Process of Overcoming Life's Challenges
Mission and Vision Statement
This center was created to address the needs of single parents in the process of overcoming life’s challenges. We want to walk alongside you and your child or children to address the barrier of unaffordable child care. We look forward to providing a safe and secure Christ-centered atmosphere for you and your child. We are a church, so our focus is on spiritual maturity with all ages. We also believe in holistically serving all of God’s people who come to us for assistance, discipling, equipping and providing opportunities for them to serve others.
About LifeHope Childcare Center
The LifeHope Childcare Center (LHCC), an extension ofNorthland’s LifeHope ministry, was created to serve the needs of single parents in the process of overcoming life’s challenges. To use the LHCC, which serves children as young as 6 weeks, these parents must meet the LifeHope ministry’s criteria.
We want to walk alongside the parents and children as we provide childcare in a safe, secure, Christ-centered atmosphere. Developmentally appropriate learning activities will be provided to nurture the “whole child” in areas of physical, intellectual, emotional, social and spiritual development.
Mothers also will receive extensive holistic case management.This includes academic, employment, spiritual and emotional goals that lead to a life of self-sufficiency as well as spiritual and emotional maturity.
We aim to provide the necessary resources, education and care to ensure the success of these parents and children long after they leave LHCC.
Eligibility Guidelines
To utilize the childcare center, you must:
Show proof of guardianship (a birth certificate or custody paperwork).
Be an intrinsically motivated single mother who wants to move to the next step in her journey. Mothers are expected to actively participate in case management and attend weekly meetings with their advocate.
Attend weekly worship at Northland
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the cost for childcare at LHCC? What is required of the mother?
In exchange for childcare, the women are required to meet with a LifeHope advocate on a weekly basis to create and track their personal, educational, professional and spiritual goals. This is not a one-size-fits-all program, so each woman’s path will look slightly different, depending on her needs and goals, and how long she has left in the program. Some women may attend budgeting classes, while others will be involved in parenting classes. Also, the women will have time to build community through Serve projects or group activities. Although there is no cost for our childcare, we hesitate to use the word “free” because these women are giving a lot to secure their spot in the program.
How do I apply for consideration into the LifeHopeChildcare program?
Find an application on our website, lifehopechildcare.com. Once the applicant has submitted her application, we will call her to come in for an interview. The interview, which a panel ofCARE Center staff members conducts, typically takes about an hour. During the interview, we get to know the applicant by discussing the answers she provided in the initial application, and we learn more about her current situation. Then our team meets to discuss the needs and eligibility of the applicant and how those match with our program. We typically make a decision within 48 hours.
What happens once I am chosen to be in the program?
Typically, we will notify an applicant within two to three days if we have selected her for the program. At that time, we will schedule a parent orientation to fill out paperwork and discuss the program more in depth. Moms will bring a birth certificate and a current physical and immunizations record to orientation. Then your child will be able to start!
Do I have to be a member of Northland? Will I be disqualified if I have not attended church recently?
No, you will not be disqualified. We welcome you wherever you are in your spiritual walk. However, weekly worship atNorthland is required if you are in the LHCC program.
Why would someone not be accepted into the program?
We want to choose motivated women who have a strong desire for improvement, not those just looking for free childcare. A few reasons that would disqualify someone are she has transportation issues, she was dishonest during the interview or application process, she needs childcare outside of our operating hours, she does not seem motivated, or she does not fit our definition of “single.” We define “single mom”as a woman who is raising a child alone.
I work late every day, but can have my (mom, sister, friend, boyfriend) pick up my child. Is that okay?
No. While we know emergencies arise and a designated person may need to pick up or drop off your child on occasion, this program is about forming relationships, and that is done in part by being present and interacting with our childcare workers at the center each day. We expect to see the moms at least 50% of the time at drop-off and pick-up.

Isaiah 53:3-4 says, "He was despised and forsaken of men, a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief ... Surely our griefs He Himself bore, and our sorrows He carried." Grief is an overwhelming emotion that can look so many different ways ... and is unknowable until it knows you fully. We at Northland Church believe deeply in the transforming power of presence in each others' lives, and that may be nowhere more tangible than in the face of loss.
If you or someone you care for has suffered loss recently, please come and be a part of these healing communities where together we will pursue Christ as the only One who can carry our grief.

On the second Saturday of each month, volunteers serve the homeless at Powerhouse Church. The church is located at 1025 S Orange Blossom Trail, Orlando. Come explore, engage and share stories while you serve a meal, give out clothing and hygiene products.
We also partner with the faith-based initiative Community Resource Network. CRN is a coordinated and collaborative network of community organizations, non-profit providers, agencies, and members of the Central Florida faith communities, addressing family homelessness in our tri-county area by sharing resources and offering relational support to families.

One of the most practical ways to “Be the Church” everywhere, every day is by serving locally in the community. At Northland, service is not just something we do, it’s an essential part of who we are. Serving in the local community is a very tangible way of demonstrating God’s love for those around us. We know that figuring out where, how and when to serve can be challenging. Let us help you find opportunities available to use the time, talents and gifts that God has given you!
The next Local Serve Day is Saturday, June 5 at 8 a.m. Details & sign-up here >
Serve day will be a time when we gather as a large group in the morning at Northland and then are sent to serve throughout the community with various projects.
Due to COVID-19, we are currently unable to serve inside the Prisons and Jail. Please pray for the inmates during this challenging time of further isolation. Pray for their physical, emotional and spiritual health. Pray for the believers inside that they will be salt and light. And we are praying for a time when we can resume live web-stream services inside
The Prison and Jail Transition Ministry (PJTM) serves those who are incarcerated in the local jail, state prison and therapeutic facilities via live web-stream worship into their facility.
Men and women can serve in several roles within the ministry. In-cell and on Northland campus opportunities exist locally, there is something to do for everyone.

Flourish is a discipleship journey inviting women to engage in one-on-one relationships focused on encouraging and challenging one another in their walk with Jesus.
“God created us to be in community with other believers because He knew we couldn’t do this life alone.” –Flourish Mentor Journal, pg. 30
We believe mentoring relationships help us to be more Fully Alive in Jesus as we benefit from the encouragement and wisdom of godly women who have gone before us and reflect Him.
This year-long journey is designed to:
Call women to a higher standard by learning to see Jesus in every aspect of our lives.
Build relationships that provide spiritual growth reflecting Christ to the world.
Know how our story fits in the larger story of God by being rooted in Scripture.
Raise up godly women leaders through the valuable process of mentoring and discipleship.
“Let me give you a new command: Love one another. In the same way I loved you, you love one another. This is how everyone will recognize that you are my disciples— when they see the love you have for each other.” –John 13:34-35 (MSG)
We’re introducing something new for the women of Northland called Flourish.

In this verse-by-verse study of the book of Hebrews, Jen Wilkin explores how God "provided something better for us" in the person of Jesus Christ. (Hebrews 11:40). Through stories of Old Testament heroes and practices, the author of Hebrews demonstrates how the new covenant is superior to the old and how Jesus Christ is the fulfillment of every promise.
