Forward Trips are the short-term mission trips of NORTHIRON. These trips are a great way to serve the world around you. A Forward trip will focus on both outward and inward life change. Forward Trips transcend the week-long experience. When you take seven to ten days to live intentionally, love your neighbors and see everyone the way God sees them, you walk away changed, and you can and should apply that change to every area of your life. We call this “Living Your Mission.” Live Your Mission and register for a Forward Trip today.
Rooted is a 4-week track to help you move from being a church-goer to someone growing in your walk with Jesus. Rooted classes will be held in January at our Ishpeming campus on Sundays after 2nd service (7th, 14th, 21st, and 28th) in room 103 at 1PM. Registration is NOT needed - attend as you are able!
