About Our Church

True North Baptist Church exists to glorify God by building mature and active followers of Jesus Christ within the community of North Pole, Alaska and the surrounding areas.

Our Church was planted in the spring of 2016 under the authority of Badger Road Baptist Church, located in North Pole, Alaska. The charter members began meeting together in the North Pole Grange Hall while searching for a permanent location. In 2017 the Church was blessed through the purchase of a new property located at 3555 Laurance Road near the Richardson Highway. The Church continued to grow and prayerfully desired more space. In 2023 we were blessed with the purchase of a larger building at 3383 Old Richardson Highway in Moose Creek. 

True North Baptist Church continues to rely on God's guidance and provision for all of our growth and ministry.

"But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased him." 1 Corinthians 12:18

Our ministry follows the New Testament pattern established for all of the Lord's local churches. We purpose to have active evangelism, discipleship and spiritual leader development in our community. The goal of True North Baptist Church is to equip believers as they take the gospel of Jesus Christ into a lost and dying world.

Our church prepares believers for evangelism and ministry through expository preaching, small group discipleship, training, accountability and mentoring. We are focused on the growth of all believers, both young and old, and enjoy family integrated church services. We engage in small group discipleship on Sunday afternoons and also meet regularly throughout the week.

“For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ.”

Ephesians 4:12

Pastor Phil McBroom is a longtime resident of the North Pole area and was called to the ministry when he was 16 years old. He began preparation and training for preaching and teaching while still in his teens, married his high school ​sweetheart, and begin to serve as a full-time staff member at a local Baptist church in North Pole.

During this time, he developed and led a campus ​ministry at the University of Alaska Fairbanks known as Nanooks for Christ; a Police Chaplain ministry at Fairbanks Police Department; an outreach at the Fairbanks Rescue Mission; a ministry at the Fairbanks Pioneer Home; ​and other evangelistic ministries throughout the Fairbanks and North Pole areas.

Pastor McBroom earned Bachelor of Theology and Master of ​ Divinity degrees from Great Plains Baptist College and Divinity School in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. He continued to serve on staff for 6 1/2 years before God led him into a full-time ministry as a United States Army Chaplain.

Pastor McBroom served on Active Duty as an Army Chaplain at several locations throughout the United States, Afghanistan, and Korea. While in Korea he focused on discipleship and leadership development ministry, leading a robust outreach to single Soldiers and the local Korean populace.

In 2015, the Lord led Pastor McBroom and his family back ​to North Pole, Alaska to serve in planting a new church with a deliberate focus toward ministry in military and first responder communities. He heavily invests in evangelism, discipleship, leadership development, and writing ministry. His greatest desire is to glorify God through reaching souls for Christ and equipping God’s saints for the work of the ministry. 

Upon returning to the area, Pastor McBroom has continued as an Army Reserve Chaplain, ministering to Soldiers and Airmen at local installations. He currently serves in the 11th Airborne Division staff at Fort Wainwright, bringing the church’s ministry into the lives of Soldiers and their families.   

The Lord has greatly blessed​ the McBroom family with five children. Both Pastor and Mrs. McBroom are tremendously honored by the opportunity​ to devote their lives in service to the Lord Jesus Christ through True North Baptist Church.
