History

A New Church Begun

Pastor David Sorenson founded Northstar Baptist Church in 1989. Though he had been enjoying a happy pastorate in Florida, the Lord clearly laid upon his heart to resign his solid position and secure income to come by faith to Duluth, Minnesota, his wife's childhood hometown, to begin a new, independant Baptist church.

Facilities

In 1992, Northstar Baptist Church built a new church building on 10 wooded acres of land located near the intersection of Trinity Road (US 53) and South Arlington Avenue (County 90).

The building has been nicely finished and upgraded to provide adequate, comfortable, and handsome facilities for church activities.

Evangelism

The church has from its earliest days been committed to the fulfillment of the Great Commission of our Lord, both at home and abroad.

The Great Commission, we believe, involves both the evangelization of non-believers, and the discipleship of new converts. According to Jesus Himself, this is the primary mission of the church on earth (Matthew 28:18-20).

Northstar Baptist Church does not evangelize in order to survive and grow. Rather, we survive and grow in order to evangelize. This is the license and purpose for our existence. Accordingly, the primary focal point of this church is the winning of others to Christ and their discipleship.

In addition, the church has a strong faith-promise mission's ministry, supporting several dozen missionaries around the globe.
