I like the way the pastoral staff at Northminster links scripture to the current events impacting our community. I find their sermons to be thought-provoking and enriching.

Wade Glisson

We joined Northminster 20 years ago because we liked the community, the inclusiveness, and the church’s values. We moved out of Illinois for a couple years and when we returned back to the area we never considered anywhere else.

Graham Hawks

One of the things my wife Lori and I love about Northminster is that it offers activities and services for all stages of life. We joined the church more than 20 years ago and it’s been an important part of our lives and our three sons’ lives. We’ve literally grown up with the church and its members. Through nursery school, summer camps, confirmation classes, the Appalachian Service Project (ASP), and other activities, our family has always found new and rewarding ways to be involved at Northminster.

Mark LeBien Evanston, IL

Make a joyful noise! I joined the Northminster choir after losing my job when I was 50 years old. While singing, I found that I could forget about everything except the music in front of me. A feeling of great peace and joy fills my heart and soul when I sing with the choir. Our weekly rehearsals are free voice lessons in a room full of supportive and very talented friends.

Rosemary Nielsen

We joined Northminster when we were looking for a church to baptize our kids, at a time when there was an interim head pastor. Since then we’ve seen a lot of change but the community remains vibrant, the conversations thought-provoking, and friendships deep. We couldn’t have asked for a better church for our family.

Steve Davies

We attended Northminster only a few short weeks before we decided to join. It was an easy decision. We found NPC a welcoming place, and a place eager for newcomers to put their talents and interests to work.

Greg Boyer

I love the people I’ve met at Northminster–warm, intellectually curious, and engaged in all kinds of mission work. Our children feel at home here and the whole family has grown spiritually.

Laurie McFarlane

Whether it is fixing a leaky roof, laying down a new floor, or digging a 25-foot long drainage ditch, sharing a common goal with six other volunteers brings out the best in each person. The responsibility you share takes precedence over any other issues. The Appalachian Service Project teaches volunteers the importance of putting their own desires aside for a week to work on something ultimately larger than five youths, two adults, a power saw and a handful of nails.

Peter Regan

I don’t think it’s an exaggeration to consider ASP among Northminster’s greatest outreach. Many people are introduced to our faith community through this group’s inclusive nature and acceptance. We have kids and adults from a variety of backgrounds who participate, but the unanimity of purpose always shines through.

Ned Lott Evanston, IL

Northminster has provided a place for our whole family to learn about and express faith and to be a part of a community that nurtures the spirit — a constant as we go through many different life phases and experiences.

Melinda Pierce Evanston

I’ve participated in two ASP trips with Northminster youth and adults. It was so rewarding to see the kids face new challenges and realize their talents and abilities.

Richard Marberry Evanston

NPC is a welcoming and caring community of faith! I have had the honor of serving as an Elder chairing the Stewardship Committee, conducting mission work on behalf of Ember Kenya, and serveing on an Associate Pastor Search Committee. As a result of this service, I have met virtually all of the active members of NPC, and I consider many of these people to be like my extended family. NPC has given me so much more than I could have ever imagined.

Ben Buettell Evanston

Each of us has special talents that we can give to Northminster. Nothing is expected, but the experience is all that much richer when you get involved. I have met so many interesting people by serving on Session and participating on committees.

Sara Marberry Evanston

My husband Byron and I joined Northminster in 1960 when our son Bruce was four and daughter Elaine was one. In addition to forming many meaningful friendships, we have served under six pastors as Elders, Deacons, Christian Education and Junior High teachers, and Adult education leaders. As a staff member for 13 years under Harry Eberts and Bob Chestnut, I gained great appreciation for our pastoral leadership. Bible study through the Telecourse series and Tuesday Bible class has given us greater depth of understanding of our Christian faith.

Fran Kinney Evanston

When my wife and I moved exactly two minutes from Northminster on Marcy Avenue in 2001, I was immediately attracted to the church. Our son Johnny was baptized here and attended the Northminster Nursery School. It has been our second home and the fellowship, pastors and members have been a second family to us.
