At Northminster, we have a three-tiered leadership team. Each performs a vital role in our work with students. Our three leadership teams are Junior Leadership, the Student Ministry Committee, and the Adult Leadership Team. For information on Junior Leadership, please go to the Junior Leaders page. For information on contacting our leaders, please go to the Contact page.

Committee

The Committee is a group of adults who support the Student Ministry by providing the foundation and encouragement for our events here. They also help with very important, but often overlooked aspects of the ministry, such as fundraising for trips.

Our Committee includes:
Rich Jones
Rebecca Brown
