February 27: Baby Dedication

Baby Dedication is a ceremony in which believing parents make a commitment before the Lord to submit their child to God’s will and to raise that child according to God’s word and God’s ways.

Our next Baby Dedication will be held on Sunday, February 27 at 4:00pm.

At TrueNorth Church, we believe child dedication is an important step and should not be taken lightly. Parents who dedicate a child are making a promise to the Lord to do everything within their power to raise their child in a godly way until he or she can make a decision on their own to follow God.

We require first-time TrueNorth Baby Dedication parents to attend our Baby Dedication Parent Class, taught by Pastor Steve Davis, so our staff can get to know you better. It also gives you an opportunity to ask questions and have a better understanding of the commitment you are about to make. Our goal is to stand alongside you as you parent your child, providing tools which guide them in loving the Lord. If you have previously attended a TrueNorth Baby Dedication, you will need to register for Baby Dedication, but will not need to attend the class, just the picture appointment.

Baby Dedication Parent Class will be held Monday, February 21 at 6:30pm. Childcare will be provided, but you must indicate that need on your registration.

March 4-6: 180 Weekend

In the history of TNC, 180 Weekend has remained the most influential and impactful large-scale event in student ministry. This event is a weekend retreat at TrueNorth Church where middle and high school students are able to hear the gospel and grow deeper in Christ.

More information and registration can be found here.

2022 Bible Reading Plan

Together we will walk through the entire Old Testament (except Psalms and Proverbs) in 2022. Our plan is designed so that you only read for approximately 10-15 minutes each day. Our hope is to foster a daily encounter with God, both individually and as a church family, while enjoying one of the greatest gifts we have, God’s Word.
Pick up a copy of the TrueNorth Bible Reading Plan on campus, download a digital copy from our website here, or follow along through the digital resource on the TrueNorth App.
To learn how you can maximize your Bible reading time, check out these tips.

We are selling NLT Slimline Bibles for $15 and NLT LifeApp Study Bibles for $55 if you wish to read via a non-digital format.

Book Overviews: As we progress in the 2022 Bible Reading Plan together, we will be publishing a brief overview of each book. In less than 5 minutes you will have a quick grasp of what you will be reading, who wrote it, and why it was written. Our desire is that it helps you know your Bible better and get more out of your time in it.
If you would like to receive outlines as they are released, sign up here.

For the One Pledges

The mission of TrueNorth Church is to lead people into a passionate relationship with Jesus Christ. Since TrueNorth launched in 2004, the words of Jesus in Luke 15 have defined who we are and what we are about. “Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them – what do you do? You leave the other ninety-nine sheep in the pasture and go looking for the one that got lost until you find it” (Luke 15:4).

For The One is a two-phase capital campaign. The first phase was designed to generate $1.3 million to begin the loan process with our lender. We have completed phase one thanks to the generosity of our incredible church! In phase two, we will be generating the funds necessary for future construction costs. Our leadership team is currently praying and evaluating when the construction process will begin.

Your commitment to this goal helps us plan for our future. To complete a digital pledge card, click here or text PLEDGE to 803.279.1555.
