Future Home Task Force begins next phase of work

Under direction from Northwood Church's Leadership Team the Future Home Task Force has re - formed and re - tasked itself for the next phase of planning and ministry.   The task force has not actively met since November 2009 following the purchase of 21 acres for Northwood's future building and current office site in north Maple Grove. 

Tasks for this current phase of the task force include clarifying Northwood Church's vision for a future building and ministry site, researching current area development plans with Maple Grove city officials, developing a timetable for future building, researching and developing financial plans, establishing a relationship with an architectural firm for design work, researching options for future use of the two homes on the current property and other tasks as they arise. 

The Future Home Task Force will again be led by Leadership Team member Scott Fjellman and include new task force members along with several returning members.  New members include Bob Howington, Ben Just and Troy Nelson.  They join existing members Grant Case (ex - officio), Sean Dietz, Pastor Brian Doten, Luis Ferreiro, Dan Koller, Scott Koppendrayer, Suzy Nardini and Ian Peterson. 

Scott Fjellman commented about the team, "We're grateful for how God led the Future Home Task Force to our 21 acres at 16100 105th Avenue North along with providing great office space on site.  Northwood now has a permanent address and useable ministry space.  The next phase of our work is equally important and we again need God's hand and help to guide us.  Please pray for the task force and Northwood Church's future.  We want to follow God courageously and faithfully."

Northwood Church closes on second 10 acre parcel

Northwood closed on the 15980 105th Avenue property Wednesday afternoon. We are now the official owners of 21 acres (and two homes) in Maple Grove!

The seller of the second parcel stated he feels blessed to have sold his property to a church.  

Thank God that he has provided this land for Northwood Church and  pray that we will continue to be a church that reaches out to Maple Grove and beyond helping people believe in Jesus Christ and become more like him.
