On different dates throughout the year, NorthStar Church Network’s Ministers get together to enjoy a planned event. Some of these events may include picnics, luncheons, guest speakers, and a time for worship and praise. They all include fellowship!
Small Regional Groups are being formed — Contact Rev. Jesse Parker, retired pastor and NorthStar’s Liaison to Single Staff Churches.
Two major events include our Ministers and Administrative Professionals Appreciation Luncheon in April, and our Annual Christmas Worship and Luncheon in December. All ministers and their administrative staff are invited to both of these events.
Hispanic Pastors meet first Saturday of most months, usually at 9 a.m. in the Annandale office – 7100 Columbia Pike, Annandale, VA. Call the office prior to meeting to verify time and place – 703-941-6822.
