Our History

In 1974, a group of believers set out to start a new church on the Northwest side of Edmond, OK. Originally, it was known as Deer Creek Baptist Church. The church saw the faithfulness of God for the next twenty-three years, but it was in 1997, when the last bi-vocational pastor resigned, that the few faithful members began to pray and discuss the future of the church.

They knew God had a special plan for the church, but with the edge of the city pressing further west and north, they knew their small rural church was not ready, nor equipped, to meet the needs of a suburban community.

It was during these small prayer meetings that a new vision was birthed in the hearts of those original members, a heart for a new church that could effectively reach and minister to the now growing community.

After much prayer, and through a series of divine events, there was a meeting set up by the membership of Deer Creek Baptist Church about the possibility of Village Baptist Church sponsoring them as a new mission.

Already a well-established, evangelical church, Village Baptist Church felt God was leading them to get involved in an area of missions that was closer to home. Actively involved in mission work going on internationally, a handful of people began praying about the possibility of establishing a new work in one of the growing areas of the city.

With the resources and people to begin this new work, the leadership of Village Baptist Church committed themselves to stepping through whatever door God chose to open.

In God’s perfect timing, the door was opened when the current leadership of Deer Creek Baptist Church came to the leadership of Village Baptist Church, seeking support for the work they felt God leading them to begin in the area.

With both churches feeling God leading them in this new endeavor, the doors of the old Deer Creek Baptist Church closed on December of 1997, with active members joining Village Baptist church until the new work was ready to begin.

In 1998 a new mission was birthed in the old Deer Creek Baptist Church called Village Baptist North at Deer Creek. Sixty-nine people agree to be a part of this new endeavor. Soon thereafter, the old Deer Creek Baptist Church became North Pointe Baptist Church.

Since forming, North Pointe has had 3 pastors, Mike Fetters (1998-2001), Mark Sinor (2001-2018) and Eric Harris (2018-present).

The church has been through many seasons, but one thing remains the same. We exist to develop faithful followers of Christ, reach our community, and multiply the Church.
