About Us

Welcome to

Northminster Presbyterian Church

We are a Christian church sharing the extravagant love of God in Bakersfield and beyond.

At NPC we believe that God loves us extravagantly. We have so many blessings and gifts from him. But when we look at the world, we can also see brokenness all around-broken relationships, broken systems, and brokenness in our lives. We are not perfect, we cannot fix ourselves. The good news is that God came to seek us out and save us. God became human in Jesus of Nazareth. Though innocent, Jesus died on the cross for us and our redemption; he took the place for our sins and the brokenness we could not fix. Through his death and resurrection, he conquered the power of sin and death, offering life, hope and love to all who trust him. What incredible extravagant love God has shown us!

Vision

We are sharing the extravagant love of Jesus with all generations in Bakersfield and beyond.

Mission

NPC is leading people to KNOW Jesus’ love, GROW in God’s family, and GO serve and make disciples.

Our Beliefs

The one true living God is a God of love; God of sovereign, the Creator and Ruler of all.

Because of human sin, all creation has fallen from its original state of perfection; as a result, human beings are subject to death, the consequences of rebellion, and the holy judgment of God.

By grace through the faith in Christ alone, which comes as an unmerited gift from God, a person is reconciled with God, guided and comforted by the Holy Spirit, and assured of eternal life.

Scripture is the Word of God, the first and final authority for faith and life.

Jesus Christ is Lord, fully God and fully human, and the only way to eternal life.

When Jesus returns to earth, He will consummate His Kingdom and establish the new creation.

God is three-in-one: God the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

Jesus Christ, the innocent son of God, died in the place of fallen, rebellious humanity to satisfy the holy judgment of God and was raised bodily from the dead in the power of the Spirit.

We are part of the Presbyterian denomination called ECO: A Covenant Order of Evangelical Presbyterians. The mission of ECO is to build flourishing churches that make disciples of Jesus Christ. To see the essential tenets of our denomination.

We are EVANGELICAL which means “good news.” We want to share the good news of God’s extravagant love for us – a love so extravagant it demands our whole lives in return. We are REFORMED – we are saved by grace alone, faith alone and are guided by Scripture alone. We believe the Bible is infallible and has the ultimate authority for our lives and actions. We are PRESBYTERIAN this refers to how our churches are led by elected pastors, elders and deacons. Our denomination is also EGALITARIAN we believe that women and men are created equal and the Bible supports women and men using their gifts at all levels of the church.
