Julie grew up in Augusta, Georgia. She received a bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Education from Georgia State University in 2004 and a Master’s degree as a Reading Specialist from Radford University in 2010. She previously worked as a classroom teacher and reading specialist in the area. She is thankful for the opportunity to unite her passion for children and her passion for Jesus by serving at Northstar! It is her hope every child that walks into Northstar feels the love of Jesus and wants to know more about Him.
Julie and her husband Charlie (who blessed her with the unforgettable name, Julie Jewell) welcomed their daughter, Claire to the world in August of 2012. Claire reminds them daily of God’s love and sense of humor. Julie enjoys baking, reading, running and Starbucks.
Julie is the Children & Family Minister on the staff at Northstar. Visit our leadership page to get to know the rest of the team.

Last month, babies, children and families lined up in front of the stage during our worship service. It was a beautiful picture of love. Love parents have for their children and love the church has for each other through Jesus. “So in Christ, we though many, form one body, and each member belongs to all the others.” (Romans 12:5) Throughout …
“Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one.Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. Impress them on your children.

A radio commercial My husband, Charlie and I were driving down the road about 10 years ago and heard a commercial for Northstar. The best part was that it was not on a Christian radio station. It was pretty much as non-Christian as you can get. I loved the idea that a church would put a commercial on a non-Christian …
I recently had the privilege of getting away for a weekend to attend the Lifeway Women’s Leadership Forum. It was a conference geared toward women in leadership in the church. It was an amazing time of refreshment and truth. Although it was geared towards leadership and ministry in the church, there are several things that I heard that I feel …
The glitter and glue have settled and life in the children’s ministry department has gone back to normal (as normal as can be in our office!). Northstar Kids’ Camp is over, but our hope is that it was the beginning of a new spiritual spark in your child’s life. Whether their favorite part of camp was worship, games, crafts, hearing …
“I really felt pressed to sacrifice more to God, on a regular basis. I think I became aware of some of my fears and things I struggle to give over to the Lord.” “It was timed great for a needed spiritual challenge/respite…God delivered. I also gained a greater connection to women at Northstar.” These are just a couple of quotes …
But when the Pharisees heard that he had silenced the Sadducees, they gathered together. And one of them, a lawyer, asked him a question to test him. “Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?” And he said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all …
We had a EGGcellent time at our third annual Community Easter Egg Hunt. Although we had to change venues due to rain and cold weather, it did not stop the fun. We were excited to see so many families from our community participate in egg hunts, crafts, photos with bunnies and games. Thanks, Northstar Church, for being the church by inviting friends, …
At Northstar Church we want to raise kids who love Jesus and who will go out and tell the world about Him. We don’t take this task lightly and we know that our children’s ministry volunteers are a huge part of this mission. We want church to be a place where kids learn about Jesus’ love for them in a …
