This high school ministry exists to prepare your students to live the Christian life in a non-Christian world until they grow old and die. We want True North to be the most important group that your students are a part of (besides your family) for their high school years.

Jesus demands that we do something about what he has taught us. It is not good enough for us to know or agree with what he says, but we need to obey. Our students need to just do what Jesus says over and over again.

God cares deeply about our thoughts, and we ought to be very careful to train our patterns of thoughts to glorify God. It is better for ourselves and everyone around us if our thought life is righteous.

Jesus warns us that making a profession of faith in him is not enough to get us into heaven. Many people who claim that Jesus is Lord will go to hell. Those who do the will of God from the heart prove that have a saving relationship with Jesus.

Jesus warns his disciples to avoid false teachers and the eternal destruction they lead their followers towards. Our students need to grow in discernment so they are not misled by false spokesmen for God.

Jesus ends his Sermon on the Mount with 4 concluding illustrations. The first calls upon Old Testament wisdom imagery of two paths which lead to life or to death. Jesus calls his listening to respond to his teaching, and our students must submit to God and obey him or their lives will end in eternal destruction.

Don't fall for the lies of self love but instead obey God's commands to love him completely and love others sacrificially.

Jesus summarizes his teaching about loving other people by telling his disciples to do for people the things they would like other people to do for them. This ethical principle, sometimes called “The Golden Rule,” is a great standard to apply to our actions towards others.

Jesus invites his disciples to repeatedly ask God for what they need, trusting that God cares enough to answer.

Jesus tells his disciples to guard against an attitude of hypocritical criticism, but to deal with their own sin first so that they can help other Christians grow In Christ.
