Northstar Youth Ministries

Our Mission

At NorthStar Soccer Ministries, we are driven by a deep passion for soccer and a fervent belief in the transformative power of this beloved sport. Our dedicated staff and volunteers pour their hearts into teaching the game to youth who might otherwise lack access to such opportunities. We recognize that for many of the children we serve, participation in soccer extends far beyond simply learning to play. It becomes a pathway to personal growth, self-discovery, and a sense of belonging.

We strive to create a supportive and enriching environment where every child feels valued and empowered. Through the challenges and triumphs inherent in soccer, we aim to instill in our young athletes the values of responsibility, resilience, and reverence. Watching children develop their skills, build camaraderie, and gain confidence on the field is incredibly rewarding. It's a testament to the positive impact NorthStar Soccer Ministries is making in the lives of urban youth in Birmingham.

Investing in Lives

Our mission is to invest in the lives of these young people by providing a high-quality soccer club within a holistic, Christian environment. We believe that soccer is more than just a game - it's a platform for personal and spiritual growth. Through our programs, we aim to equip these youth with the tools they need to make positive choices, overcome obstacles, and reach their full potential. We

We also believe in the power of community.

We actively seek opportunities for local businesses and individuals to partner with us in this endeavor. Their support allows us to provide scholarships, expand our reach, and create lasting impact for the children we serve.

Building a Family

NorthStar Club Teams are designed to create a sense of family and belonging. Rather than being organized by school grade, our teams are grouped by birth year, fostering a close bond among players of a similar age and experience level. We welcome players of all skill levels, from those just beginning their soccer journey to those with aspirations to compete at a higher level.

We understand that for many families, the decision to participate in a club team is a significant one.

That's why we strive to make the registration process straightforward and the overall experience as enjoyable and supportive as possible.

We believe that every child deserves the opportunity to experience the joy, camaraderie, and life lessons that soccer can provide.

Our Values

At the core of NorthStar Soccer Ministries lie three fundamental values:

• Responsibility: We encourage our players to take ownership of their actions both on and off the field. We teach them the importance of commitment, diligence, and accountability.

• Resilience: We understand that setbacks are an inevitable part of life. We foster a culture where players learn to bounce back from challenges, persevere through adversity, and develop a strong sense of inner strength.

• Reverence: We believe that all individuals are created in the image of God and deserve to be treated with dignity and respect. We promote sportsmanship, honor,

and kindness in all our interactions.
