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.
Mark your calendars and schedule the day off work for NORTHIRON Serve Day 2023! On Sunday June 4th, we will be cancelling our services and going into our communities to serve the needs of different individuals, groups, and organizations.

Registration is closed, but you can still join us! Come to your local campus (Ishpeming, L'Anse, or Ontonagon) at 8am to be assigned to a team.
