 For more than a quarter of a century, Blaine Bartel has served what he believes is the hope of the world, the local church. Before leading the launching of Northstar Church, Blaine served as the associate pastor and was also the founding youth pastor at Oneighty, which has become one of the most emulated youth ministries in the past decade, reaching 2500 - 3000 students weekly under his leadership.
Blaine is a recognized authority on young people and the family. He is a best-selling author with more than a dozen books published in several languages. He is one of the most sought after speakers in his field; more than one million people from over 40 countries have attended Blaine Bartel's live seminars or speaking engagements.
However, Blaine’s greatest joy comes from serving the passionate community of Christians known as Northstar Church. A first generation Christian, Blaine was a 16 year old atheist when he discovered the reality and forgiveness of Jesus Christ. A local church wrapped arms of love around him and it altered his life forever. He has committed his life to building a church that will reach people who are godless, broken and lost, just like he was.
Blaine’s commitment to leading Northstar Church is surpassed only by his passion for family as a dedicated father of three children and a loving husband to his wife of more than 25 years, Cathy.
