Dr. David Sorenson is the pastor of Northstar Baptist
Church of Duluth. His ministry began in 1969 when he
became an assistant pastor of the Fourth Baptist Church
of Minneapolis, under Dr. Richard V. Clearwaters. He then
was associate pastor for a period of 10 years under his
Father, Dr. Henry C. Sorenson at the Faith Baptist Church
in Pekin, Illinois. In 1982, he became the senior pastor of First Baptist Church of Brainerd, Minnesota followed by a short and sweet pastorate at Sara Bay Baptist Church in Bradenton, Florida.
