Northview Church ND

What Northview Church ND does

Northview Church ND is an independent, non-profit 501(c)(3) religious organization headquartered at 3401 25th St S in Fargo, North Dakota, operating across the Fargo-Moorhead metro area with select global mission reach. Founded in 1926, the church runs three Sunday worship services (8:30am, 10:00am, 11:30am) plus Wednesday youth services, and offers a comprehensive portfolio of demographic-specific ministry programs: NVC Kids (ages 4 months through 5th grade), Northview Youth (grades 6-12), Chi Alpha campus ministry at NDSU and MSUM, OASIS senior adult ministry, Ministerio en Espanol (Spanish-language services), Alpha discipleship courses, Life Groups, and the Northview Leadership Center (NVLC) for ministry training.

The church's underlying technology stack is a standard ecosystem of third-party SaaS tools rather than proprietary infrastructure: Church Center for communications and registrations, Planning Center for operational management, Pushpay for online giving and the Made for More capital campaign, RightNow Media for the 20,000+ video discipleship library, YouTube for online streaming, ListenWifi for real-time Spanish translation, and YouVersion for Bible reading plans. Northbrew Coffee operates as an on-campus hospitality service.

The business model is a voluntary donation-based non-profit, with revenue derived primarily from tithes and offerings (recurring giving via Pushpay, text-to-give, stock/crypto donations, cash/check) supplemented by a $16.8 million two-year capital campaign called 'Made for More' funding facility renovations and local/national/global missions. Fee-based programs are minimal and limited to NVLC tuition ($800 Non-Traditional Track, $200/week Traditional Track stipend). The church is currently debt-free and governed by a Board of Elders with Senior Pastors Dave and Alissa Leedahl and Executive Pastor of Finance/Operations Garrett Henrich.
