Made For More
We love being a part of what God is doing through Northview! The Holy Spirit is moving across our community, region, and world. Countless lives have been transformed all because of Jesus, and we believe we are just getting started! We are grateful for what God has done through us, yet we are Made for More. Today, we gather in this building because of the incredible sacrifice of those who have gone before us. We are living out the fulfillment of that dream.
It is a joy to experience God together as we now prepare for the future! Below, we share our plans to renovate our space to reach more people. We believe our impact extends beyond our four walls into our community and around the world. We are praying for more people to know Jesus and become like Him! We are honored to connect others to Jesus, His love, and what it means to follow Him. As you read through this content, intentionally ask God about your role. Ask the Holy Spirit to make it clear to you. We humbly invite you to join us on this adventure. We are Made for More!

Local
We will reimagine our spaces through a significant building transformation. Reworking our kids area, worship center, and lobby spaces will enable us to welcome more families, impact more people through trainings and events, and create more space for deep connections and relationships. We will also continue stewarding our partnership with Fargo Public Schools to meet practical and spiritual needs in students' lives.
National
Among several national partnerships, we will continue to focus and increase support with Alaska Student Partnership. This organization is training teacher missionaries to serve 56 villages with little to no known gospel witness. The teachers meet the need for educators in the school system while bringing hope to these communities where many are living in poverty and among challenging home situations.
Global
Among several global missions partners, our priority partnership is with Child Hope in Latin America. Over the last 40 years, our church has helped build 20 schools in Nicaragua through our partnership with Child Hope. Through these schools, our missionary partners provide a consistent gospel witness through solid education, healthcare, and leadership training.

FAQs
We are committed to gathering together for Sunday services. The NVC team has tentative plans to gather for services in alternate space within our facility (eg. Gymnasium and/or Event Center). However, we remain open to an off-site option if the opportunity arose, and if it would be better for our church family.
We are blessed to have some experience successfully relocating kids ministry rooms within our building (when 1st floor kids ministry was under construction). We anticipate a similar plan for using alternative space in our building.
Northview Church has a long history of operating and making building updates/repairs without debt. Today, Northview does not have any loans. Ideally, we would complete this project without debt. Any discussion about financing a portion of this project would be carefully navigated by the Northview Board and Financial Oversight Committee. We encourage anyone with questions to email boardofelders@northview.life for more information.
Since we are using a OneFund concept where all giving funds the whole vision, existing recurring giving schedules will be reallocated to the Made for More fund in Pushpay automatically. If you wish to update your giving amount, you can do that here. We will also be using Pushpay to track commitments and progress at this link.
If enough funds are given this Spring/Summer 2025, It is possible that work could begin Winter 2025 or Spring 2026.
April 1, 2025. If desired, giving may be directed to the Made for More initiative before that date.
The Northview Board of Elders, Northview staff, and our architect and construction partners will work together to facilitate the best possible timeline. To maximize the “economy of scale,” it would be best to do all of the construction work in one phase and as early as possible. We will simply have to assess how much funding comes in from our church family…and how quickly it is given…in order to discover how much work will be done at one time.
Yes. Our Made for More initiative includes our whole vision, including church ministries/program/events, local and global missions/outreach, and building updates. One can think of it as a “unified budget to fund a unified vision.”
There will be one small change to create clarity. You may observe our default giving option online will change to “Made for More OneFund (Ministry+Missions+Building).”
You can always email give@northview.life for general questions. You may also contact Pastor Garrett Henrich (Executive Pastor of Finance/Operations) at Garrett.Henrich@northview.life.
Unless there are unforeseen circumstances, we anticipate a few months.
