Our Story

For years, we have been praying and seeking God's direction for the possibility of a "forever home" — a place with the space to grow and to serve our community for generations to come. Today, by the grace of God, we are overjoyed to announce that we have placed a 21-acre property under contract! It is humbling to have seen God's providence at work both in the timing and process leading to this inspiring and faith-testing opportunity, and yet, this has all been very much in line with North Star's story.

This beautiful site is more than just land; it is the canvas for our future. It's a place where we can build the campus we've always envisioned, with the facilities to match the passion and potential we see in our students every single day. This is a rare, generational opportunity, and it has come with an incredible head start.

Land Purchase

Total cost for 21 acres

Matching Gift

$1M

Doubled by a generous donor

Goal Deadline

Feb 4, 2026

Time-sensitive opportunity

The total purchase price for the land is $2M with an additional estimate of $200,000 in initial due diligence costs. A visionary and generous donor has already stepped forward with a $1,000,000 matching grant to help us secure it. This is where our journey begins, and we have our first challenge—a wonderful and urgent one.

The Challenge

The $1M Land Challenge

That $1,000,000 grant means that every dollar we raise for the land, up to $1M, will be doubled instantly. To unlock this full match, we must raise our $1M share in cash by February 4, 2026.

This is a Sprint

We are calling on our entire community to help us cross this first, critical finish line. Every gift, no matter the size, will have twice the impact and will help us secure the land for our new home.
