At Northland, we’re committed to training the nextgeneration of servant-leaders for Great Commission living. We go about this byworking to train the head, the heart and the hands. The head is trained in theclassroom, the heart through our chapel ministry, and the hands throughExtension ministries. Extension provides a two-fold purpose. It gives ourstudents the opportunity to be a help and blessing to dozens of ministriesthroughout our region, but it also will put them in a place to be mentored andtrained by pastors and leaders in these local churches.
—Paul Whitt, Vice President of Student Affairs
TheExtension Office at Northland coordinates the efforts of student-ledteams who minister across the region in local church and communityministries. It is “the all-important bridge between the theological andthe practical.”
