WHO WE ARE
Do you want to know how the Bible applies to your life?
Are you looking for a Jesus-centered community of 6-12th graders and leaders?
Are you curious about how to live a life for Christ?
Our goal is to form life long disciples of Jesus. We work towards this goal by encouraging and equipping students to be and make disciples through studying and applying God's word, encouraging and welcoming each other in with the love that God first loved us with, and living their lives as ambassadors for Christ in every room they walk into.

What We are Learning
JONAH
Jonah is not too different from many of us today. He is a child of God and he is aware that he is part of God's great plan to redeem the world. But just like many of us so often do, he fails so stupendously—not just once, but multiple times! And yet, in God's mysterious ways, God still uses Jonah to accomplish His grand purposes. He doesn't cast him aside, but He continues to use this unlikely tool to craft His perfect masterpiece.

Philip Beaver
Youth Minister
philip@northstarfamily.org
Philip has been the youth minister here since the summer of 2021 and is excited and humbled by what God has done, and continues to do at Northstar Youth. Before stepping into this role, he was a leader in his home church's youth group and on the summer youth team at Northstar. He met his wife, Emma, while they were in youth group and got married in 2020. Philip is passionate about reaching youth with the Gospel message and showing them how to live a life for Jesus no matter their age.
In addition to Philip and Livi, we have 10 volunteer youth leaders that help make Wednesday night youth groups happen and point students to Jesus! These volunteers are just as passionate about reaching the next generation and leading them in small group discussions to help students dive deeper into what God is teaching them.

Livi Marrin
Youth Ministry Assistant
livi@northstarfamily.org
Livi started attending Northstar in 2019 during her freshman year at Virginia Tech, and instantly fell in love with the community of believers here. A redirection from the Lord led her to start interning at the church, where she started considering full-time ministry. Having recently graduated, she is excited to continue serving and pouring into the body that has built her up by joining staff! She is a big coffee drinker and you’ll most likely find her at Bollo's in her free time chatting with all the locals and their dogs. Livi also loves long walks on the Huckleberry, weightlifting, writing punny emails, and making popcorn with her Whirley Pop.
