"Partners" are churches with whom Northland has ever-deepening relationships for mutual support and increased effectiveness for the Kingdom of God. We are not complete without each other. They further our understanding and appreciation of God. We connect with them on a personally fulfilling heart level and we work well together to bless others. Like all relationships, these partnerships are dynamic. They need to be renewed on a regular basis, or they will lose their vitality. We need to continue to work together to serve others in eternally significant ways. That is why we want you to get to know them. Be encouraged. Be challenged. Be international. Be distributed!

Community service initiatives and youth and family ministry are hallmarks of Saint Andrews.

Ukraine is a country with a great Christian heritage, which was eliminated during the iron fist rule of the Soviet Union in the last century.

Sri Lanka is an island nation off the southeast coast of India that became well known to Northlanders in the aftermath of the Tsunami of December, 2004.

Situated in Cairo, the largest city in Africa and the “gateway to the Middle East”, Kasr El Dobara is the largest Protestant church in the Arabic-speaking world.

Their tangible expressions of love for their neighbors inspire us. Their obedience in the face of opposition challenges us.
