Belonging. Where do I fit?

Identity. Who am I?

Purpose. Why am I here?

OUR CONTEXT

Three big questions...

Research from the Fuller Youth Institute indicates that three of the most foundational questions emerging adults are wrestling with is that of belonging, identity, and purpose. At NorthernLife, we believe that in the life, teaching and (most fully) death/resurrection of Jesus of Nazareth, the most compelling answers to these questions are found.

OUR VISION

Three good answers...

We want to reach Young Adults exactly where they are, so we've formed our three-part strategy to specifically address the three big questions they're asking. Our heart is to be a community of love, growing together in maturity, and making the most of every opportunity.

Community for belonging.

Maturity in identity.

Opportunity on purpose.

“Therefore” Jesus said, “do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes?

But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.”

— MATTHEW 6:25,33

THE WAY OF JESUS

x everything

To be a Christian is to live at the crossroads of the Way of Jesus and the Way of the World—and they're not the same thing. All of us live with the tension of competing visions of human flourishing. So what does it mean for young adults to follow Jesus when it comes to their sexuality, vocation, culture, technology, money and more? That's what Crossroads is all about. Stay tuned for more information.
