There is no cost for childcare! However, after the first 90 days of enrollment, each family pays $10 per week towards an Activity Fee, used for LifeHope events. In exchange for childcare, participants are required to meet with the LifeHope program manager on a weekly or biweekly basis to create and track their personal, educational, professional, and spiritual goals. Each mom will also attend classes at Northland, participate in several volunteer opportunities throughout the year, and work with our budget coach to learn financial literacy and accountability. Through these requirements, women are able to gain valuable skills, and build community with other single moms and members of the Northland family.

We now have spots for community families! Please fill out the application below to reserve your spot.

Once an applicant has submitted her application, the information provided will be reviewed. If basic criteria has been met, you will be asked to provide your two most recent bank statements. This gives us a snapshot of your current income, as well as savings and spending habits. An interview will be scheduled, which typically takes about 30-45 minutes. During the interview, we will get to know you by discussing your initial application, and we will share more information about the LifeHope program. Then our team meets to discuss the needs and eligibility of the applicant and how those match with our program. We typically make a decision within 48 hours.

Once you have been selected for the program, you will receive an email with links to our video orientation. Please allow yourself 45 minutes to an hour to watch the videos. Then you'll be invited back in to complete the childcare paperwork. During this time, you will need to bring a birth certificate and a current physical and immunization record for your child. At this meeting, a start date for childcare will be discussed.

No, you will not be disqualified. We welcome you wherever you are in your spiritual walk. However, we do required in-person worship at Northland twice a month. During the remaining weeks, you may choose to worship in person, worship online, or attend another church.

We want to choose motivated women who have a strong desire for improvement, not those just seeking childcare. A few reasons disqualification include: lack of reliable transportation, dishonesty during the interview or application process, needing childcare outside of our operating hours, does not seem motivated, or does not fit our definition of "single." If you are not accepted into LifeHope, we will try to provide information about other resources that may be beneficial to you.
