CORE VALUES

DAILY CONFESSION

May the Lord bless me and keep me. 

May He make his face shine upon me. 

May I know that if God is for me who can be against me. 

If God is on my side whom shall I fear. 

May I be like a tree planted by rivers of living water whose leaf will not wither, 

and whatever I do it shall prosper.

WHAT WE BELIEVE

About the Scriptures
We believe the entire Bible is the inspired Word of God and that men were moved by the Spirit to write words of Scripture. The New Testament is our infallible guide in matters pertaining to conduct and doctrine. 1Thessalonians 2:13 | 2Timothy 3: 16-17

About God
We believe in one God who exists in three distinct persons (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit). We believe that Jesus Christ is the second member of the Trinity (the Son of God) who became flesh to reveal God to man and to become the Savior of the lost world. John 3:16 | John 1:1-2, 14, 18

About Mankind
We believe that man was created in the image of God to have fellowship with Him, but became alienated from that relationship through sinful disobedience. As a result, man is totally incapable of coming back into a right relationship with God by his own effort. Genesis 1: 26-27 | Romans 3: 23, 6: 5-11

About Salvation
We believe that the shed blood of Jesus Christ on the cross provides the sole basis for the forgiveness of sins. Therefore, salvation only occurs when a person places his faith in the death and resurrection of Christ as the sufficient payment for his sin. One who physically dies in his sins without Christ is eternally lost in the Lake of Fire, and therefore, has no further opportunity of hearing the Gospel or repenting. Romans 5: 12, 10: 9-10 | 1Corinthians 15: 3-4 | Ephesians 2: 8-10

About Christian life
We believe that every Christian should live for Christ and not for himself. By obedience to the Word and being baptized in the Holy Spirit, every believer will mature and receive power to be a witness in this world. John 1: 12-13 | Acts 2: 38 | 2Corinthians 3: 18

About The Church
We believe that the church is the body of Christ of which Jesus Christ is the Head. The members are those who have trusted by faith the finished work of Christ. The purpose of the church is to glorify God by loving Him and by making Him known to a lost world. 2Corinthians 5: 18-22 | Ephesians 1: 22-23, 4: 11-16

About Ordinances
We believe the two scriptural ordinances of a New Testament church are baptism and the Lord’s Supper. We follow our Lord’s command to give public evidence of our salvation with baptism by water and faithfully remember Christ’s cleansing blood and broken body with the elements of Holy Communion. Matthew 28: 19 | 1Corinthians 23-26

Our Story

In 2005, Pastor Rod Baker sat in a service unsuspecting that this would be a defining moment in his ministry. God took hold of Pastor Rod’s heart and spoke a question-Will you Pastor for me?  Immediately, the Lord began to impart a vision into Rod, for a new way to do ministry that would refresh and empower the body of Christ. This divine moment sparked a revelation in his heart, which would be a glimpse of what was to come.

For the next 12 years, Pastors Rod & Gloria served their home church faithfully waiting for the right time to launch out, constantly praying over that dream planted in their hearts. Rod & Gloria Baker sat down with Ethan & Amber Jacobsen, who had also received a word from the Lord to launch out, and establish what NorthStar church would look like- A community of believers who would literally stand between heaven and hell for each other.  They strongly believe in creating a NorthStar family environment for people to experience a new path, where no one was a church member, but a church OWNER! And they follow this vision in every aspect of their ministry: from Adult Services, NorthStar Kids, Glow Girls, Iron Men’s Ministry, and NorthStar Bridge.
