Jeff & Debbie Bream have been serving at Northview since 2002.

Jeff loves to help people grow in their faith through worship and teaching the Word of God. He has served in ministries in New Mexico, Indiana, Illinois, and Michigan. He has degrees from Dallas Christian College and Huntington College.

Jeff and Debbie Bream..The Couple

Both Jeff and Debbie have pleasant and friendly personalities. I dont recall anytime as long as I have known Pastor Jeff, that he had not discussed or explained something without kindness, love, truth, and confidence. Debbie and Jeff both will demonstrate the fruits of the Holy Spirit privately, as well as publically.

There Mission as a Church

“Northview helps people know and follow Jesus wholeheartedly”

Jesus is, without question, the central figure in all of history. Even Jesus Himself said that we could get to know God by knowing Him. We believe what the Bible says about Jesus. It’s a choice of faith. So, our efforts here will intentionally lead toward the goal of helping people to find God through a relationship with Jesus Christ.

Practical Results: we find forgiveness, love, and healing in our soul by following Jesus.

We are Bible-based, Bible-teaching, Bible directed because it is the inspired Word of God. God inspired human authors with a message that is relevant and life-changing today. It provides the guidance we need to live out God’s plan for our lives.

Northview is filled with people of faith.

Now in saying that, realize there are different levels of faith. There are those who live out faith in Christ in a mature way and those who are new in the faith and just learning and changing as a Christian should. And there are those who are in between the ‘new and old’ in the faith. We invite you to come to see what we’re all about … ask questions … you’ll find that we’re genuine. Not perfect but learning and growing in our faith!

The Bible tells us that it is impossible to please God without faith. And so we do what we can to encourage everyone to have a growing, obedient faith to grow strong & mature in Jesus Christ. By faith we’re made right with God and faith pleases Him.

Only in Christ can we have ultimate security.

When you enter the doors at Northview you will have a friendly experience. People will greet you and speak to you. You will experience heartfelt worship – it’s real and relevant to everyday life. You will hear messages from the Bible that help you to live a life that is pleasing to God. Our prayer is that in your experience you will see that God presence is among us and that He can make a real positive difference in your life.

We worship God with all our hearts

1. We teach Jesus’ commands so we can follow them
2. We tell others the good news of God’s forgiveness through Jesus
3. We enjoy the family atmosphere of the church we call fellowship
4. We serve the Lord by serving people – in the church and outside the church.

Summarized: we reach up, reach out and gather in!

We’re an independent church which means that we are not part of a denominational ecclesiastical structure. We do have thousands of sister church across this nation and around the world.

We are a non-denominational church which is led by our leaders … called elders. Our lead minister works with the elders in directing the ministries of this congregation.

We view ourselves as a part of Christ’s worldwide church made up of those who have obedient faith in Him.

We are simply Christians who worship Jesus Christ and want to be a part of His work.

Thank you for taking the time to see the big picture of who we are as a church. Our prayer for you:

“Lord, we ask a special blessing on this precious soul.

May you give them wisdom, direction, and hope.

Lord, help them to draw near to you

and that their faith will blossom

into greatness for You.

In Jesus’ name.

Amen.”

We would love to have you come and

find your way back to God.

Why Northview?

Jeff’s congregation is as much a part of his ministry as he has been in it. Pastors are called to be shepherds of a flock. And scripture tells us that Christ would leave his flock to go after the one that was lost and did not know their way back. It’s that type of commitment that when you visit his church, you feel welcomed, loved, and if you have walked away from your faith in Christ, you have no one else better than Pastor jeff than to sit down and discuss your spiritual walk in Christ knowing that your privacy and confidentiality will be always respected.

Typically in today’s environment of Christianity, many Pastors do not spend enough time at their churches to in the amount of years they are in service. Some Pastors stay long enough to learn they may be needed somewhere else, while others are dedicated to remain in a ministry that has continued to produce fruti and grow.

There are plenty of Churches located all over Branch County that have gifts of the Holy Spirit, that show love and compassion to their fellow man, that have helped with food, clothing, financial, mental and spiritual help. Folks that visit a church and wonder if they will be greeted in a friendly manner don’t have to worry about that at all at Northview.

I’ve personally been to Northview and have listened to pastor Jeff teach the word of God, and I find that his heart, his knowledge, and his ability to reach people in a broad spectrum of ages and walks in life, is highly favored by GOD. We encourage you to visit his church if you are looking to join one and experience the gospel being preached by someone who has a genuine heart for people.
