There are endless commentaries, libraries full of man’s
ideas regarding all manner of belief in a transcendent being.
There are more religious belief systems in the world today than
can be counted, much less trying to count the many Christian
denominations and factions within. It is a simple doctrine that
we believe. One phrase rings over and over in the New Testament
church. Preach Christ and Him crucified.
North Pole Worship Center exists to transparently show the
saving power of Jesus Christ. A quick study of Christ reveals a
compassionate savior who did nothing for Himself, but was
willing to minister to the lost, sick and dying, day or night.
We desire to be a biblical based church. That means to grow in
knowledge and wisdom of the Lord, and to make His whole Word
applicable in our lives. As a church we can not simply be
structured. (What then is a building without occupants.)
It is our belief that the church body referred to in the New
Testament is not an organization but an organism. Nature shows
us that once growth stops death begins to set in. Our goal is to
always be a growing church where we all unite as one.
The great commission of Matthew 28:19,20 is what defines the
direction that the church should be heading. This passage urges
the disciples to go to the world and to teach the commandments
of Christ to everyone. This gospel does not work through forced
teaching, but by patiently presenting Christ the way He
presented Himself to others.
