Our Story
Our stories begin at the age of 13 when we both made a personal decision to accept the call to full-time ministry. Although we did not know each other at the time, God was preparing our lives for a greater purpose. Our paths eventually crossed at Northpoint Bible College, where we met and quickly discovered a shared burden for the lost and a passion to reach this generation with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. As our relationship grew, so did our conviction that God had called us to serve Him together. Polster Ministries was born out of that unity, two lives joined together with one mission: to introduce people to the love, power, and reality of Jesus Christ. Our desire is to see people not only hear about Jesus, but truly know Him and encounter Him in a personal and life changing way. We believe the Gospel is still the power of God unto salvation, and that Jesus Christ continues to transform lives today. Through preaching, teaching, evangelism, and the power of the Holy Spirit, our prayer is that people would come to know Christ in an intimate and powerful way. Then walk in the divine purpose God has for their lives.
our mission.
Polster Ministries exists to proclaim Jesus Christ and the Kingdom of Heaven to this generation through the preaching of God’s Word through power of the Holy Spirit. We believe that while our generation is witnessing moves of God, there are still countless people who have never personally experienced His saving, healing, and transforming power. Therefore, our mission is to faithfully preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ so that people may encounter Him in a real and life-changing way.
Jesus began His earthly ministry with the message, “Repent of your sins and turn to God, for the Kingdom of Heaven is near.” (Matthew 4:17, NLT). He came proclaiming the Kingdom of God and demonstrating its power through signs, wonders, healing, and deliverance. The Bible declares that God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, and that He “went around doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him” (Acts 10:38, NLT). Through His life, death, and resurrection, Jesus brought the reality of God’s Kingdom to the earth and made a way for all people to know Him.
At Polster Ministries, our desire is to introduce the love and power of Jesus Christ to this generation. Our mission is to help people meet Jesus personally and intimately, leading them into a genuine relationship with Him through the power of the Gospel and the ministry of the Holy Spirit. As Scripture declares, “For I am not ashamed of this Good News about Christ. It is the power of God at work, saving everyone who believes” (Romans 1:16, NLT).
Our vision is to see a generation meet Jesus personally and experience His power. We desire to see lives transformed and impacted, and for people to be awakened to the reality of God’s power. We long to see mighty moves of God where hearts are changed, the sick are healed, the broken are restored, and the evidence of His work is undeniable. We believe Jesus Christ is “the same yesterday, today, and forever” (Hebrews 13:8, NLT), and that He continues to work powerfully among His people. We believe that the Gospel still has the power to save, heal, deliver, restore, and permanently change lives. Jesus Himself said, “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, for he has anointed me to bring Good News to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim that captives will be released, that the blind will see, that the oppressed will be set free” (Luke 4:18, NLT). Therefore, we are committed to preaching Christ, advancing the Kingdom of God, and empowering this generation to know Him and make Him known.
OUR BELIEFS.
THE BIBLE
We believe the Scriptures are the inspired Word of God, the revelation of God to humanity, and the final authority for faith, doctrine, and Christian living. The Bible is not merely human writing, but God-breathed truth, given by the Holy Spirit, and powerful to teach, correct, heal, restore, and lead people into salvation through Jesus Christ.
2 Timothy 3:16–17; 2 Peter 1:20–21; Psalm 119:105; Hebrews 4:12
THE ONE AND TRUE GOD
We believe in one true and living God, the Creator of heaven and earth, the eternal “I AM.” He is not created, not an idea, not an object, and not one god among many. There is no other God beside Him. He has revealed Himself as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, one God in three Persons, worthy of all worship.
Deuteronomy 6:4; Genesis 1:1; Exodus 3:14; Isaiah 43:10–11; Matthew 28:19
THE TRINITY
We believe that the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are one in divine nature, eternal, holy, and equal in glory. The Son is “begotten, not made,” and the Holy Spirit is fully God, proceeding from the Father, worshiped and glorified with the Father and the Son.
John 1:1–3; John 10:30; 2 Corinthians 13:14; Colossians 2:9
JESUS CHRIST
We believe Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God, fully God and fully man. He was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary. He lived a sinless life, performed signs, wonders, and miracles, and still works by His power today. Through His death on the cross, He purchased our redemption by His blood. He rose from the dead on the third day, ascended into heaven, and now sits at the right hand of the Father, interceding for us.
Matthew 1:18–23; John 1:14; Acts 10:38; Hebrews 4:15; 1 Corinthians 15:3–4; Romans 8:34
SALVATION
We believe humanity was created in the image of God, but through sin, mankind fell under the curse of sin and death. All people are born with a fallen nature, separated from God, and in need of redemption. Salvation is found only through Jesus Christ, the Son of the living God. Through repentance and faith in His blood, the believer is forgiven, regenerated by the Holy Spirit, justified by grace through faith, and made an heir with Christ.
Genesis 1:26–27; Romans 3:23; Romans 5:12; John 14:6; Ephesians 2:8–9; Titus 3:5–7; Romans 8:16–17
THE SECOND COMING OF CHRIST
We believe in the imminent, bodily return of Jesus Christ. He is coming for a Church that is ready, pure, watchful, faithful, and active in the work of the gospel. This includes the rapture of the Church, the blessed hope of all believers. The return of Christ should place a fire in the hearts of believers to preach the gospel while there is still time.
John 14:2–3; Acts 1:11; 1 Thessalonians 4:16–17; Titus 2:13; Matthew 24:44
THE CHURCH
We believe the Church is the body of Christ, made up of all true believers who have been born of the Spirit. The Spirit of God dwells in the Church, and Christ has appointed the Church to fulfill the Great Commission. The Church is the general assembly and church of the firstborn, whose names are written in heaven, called to worship, discipleship, fellowship, and the preaching of the gospel to all nations.
Matthew 28:18–20; 1 Corinthians 12:27; Ephesians 1:22–23; Hebrews 12:23; Acts 2:42–47
THE REIGN OF CHRIST
We believe Jesus Christ will return with His Church and will rule and reign in righteousness. Every kingdom of this world will come under the authority of Christ, and His reign will reveal His justice, holiness, power, and glory. Believers will share in His victory and reign with Him according to the promise of Scripture.
Revelation 19:11–16; Revelation 20:4–6; 2 Timothy 2:12; Revelation 11:15
BAPTISM OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
We believe all believers should expect and earnestly desire the promised gift of the Father, which is the baptism in the Holy Spirit. We believe speaking in tongues is the initial physical evidence of the baptism in the Holy Spirit. This experience was normal in the early Church and should be normal today. The Holy Spirit gives believers power to witness, boldness to preach, and gifts for ministry.
Luke 24:49; Acts 1:8; Acts 2:1–4; Acts 10:44–46; Acts 19:1–6; 1 Corinthians 12:7–11
SANCTIFICATION
We believe sanctification is separation from sin, evil, and the spirit of this world, and a drawing closer to God. Holiness is essential in the Christian life. Through the Word of God, prayer, obedience, and the power of the Holy Spirit, every believer should grow daily to become more like Jesus Christ.
1 Thessalonians 4:3; Hebrews 12:14; Romans 12:1–2; 2 Corinthians 7:1; Galatians 5:16
DIVINE HEALING
We believe divine healing is provided through the redemptive work of Jesus Christ. Forgiveness of sins and healing are both revealed in the atonement. Jesus healed the sick during His earthly ministry, and He still heals today by His power. Divine healing is a gift of God’s grace and should be believed, preached, and received by faith.
Isaiah 53:4–5; Matthew 8:16–17; Acts 10:38; James 5:14–16; 1 Peter 2:24
THE FINAL JUDGEMENT AND ETERNITY
We believe every person will stand before God and give an account for their life. Those who have placed their faith in Jesus Christ will receive eternal life, but those who reject Christ will face eternal separation from God. The final judgment will be righteous and complete, and all who reject Christ will be cast into the lake of fire. Therefore, the gospel must be preached with urgency, love, and truth.
Hebrews 9:27; 2 Corinthians 5:10; John 3:16–18; Revelation 20:11–15; Matthew 25:46
