Pastors Russell and Kim Honeycutt
Pastors Russell and Kim Honeycutt are the Senior Pastors of Church at Northwood located in Whiteville, North Carolina. While Russell was advancing his career in the Nursing Home and Hospitality Industry and Kim was advancing in Interior Design, they received a call from God to step into full-time ministry. In 2012 they answered with an unwavering “Yes Lord”.
Their clarion call has been built upon the foundational truth that Pastor Russell received from the Lord in Psalm 125:3, “The scepter of the wicked shall not remain over the land allotted to the righteous.” With an Apostolic call and emphasis on the Father’s heart, Pastor Russell believes the Church is to be rooted and grounded in Christ’s Love and equipped in the fullness of His Power to reach and save the lost.
Pastor Kim serves as this church’s Prophet and Teacher with an emphasis on healing and deliverance, and she instructs believers with the knowledge and understanding of God and His ways.
By God’s grace, this Apostolic and Prophetic tag-team couple have transformed this church to welcome people of all racial, denominational, and social backgrounds to what is an apostolic epicenter of God’s presence in Whiteville, North Carolina. Over the past 12 years, the Honeycutts have partnered with God to build and establish Church at Northwood as a Fathering House that hosts the Glory of The Lord. Emphasizing healing, freedom, discipleship, the power of the Holy Spirit and God’s love – Pastors Russell and Kim Honeycutt serve this church and the town of Whiteville, NC to touch the world unto the purposes of God.

STATEMENT OF FAITH
There is only one true God who is the eternal King, Creator and Redeemer of all that is. He is perfectly holy, just, loving and truthful. He has revealed Himself to be eternally self- existent – one being in three persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.
The Bible to be the inspired and only infallible and authoritative Word of God.
Humankind was created in the image of God to know and enjoy Him, yet we willfully rejected the Lordship and glory of God for which we were intended. Because of this, sickness, death and judgment entered the world and now creation experiences the effects and consequences of sin.
The Lord Jesus Christ, the one and only Son of God, was conceived of the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin, Mary, and is God’s Anointed One, empowered by the Holy Spirit to inaugurate God’s Kingdom on earth. He was crucified for our sins, died, was buried, resurrected and ascended into heaven, and is now alive today, in the presence of God the Father and in His people. He is “true God” and “true man.”
We are saved by God’s grace, through faith in the person and work of Jesus Christ. Anyone can be restored to fellowship with God through repenting, believing and receiving Jesus as their Savior and Lord. The Holy Spirit, convicts, regenerates, justifies, and adopts us as we enter the Kingdom of God as His sons and daughters.
In the sanctifying power of the Holy Spirit, by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live holy and minister super-naturally. The baptism of the Holy Spirit according to Acts 1:4-8 and 2:4 is poured out on believers that they might have power to be witnesses.
The victorious redemptive work of Christ on the cross provides freedom from the power of the enemy – sin, lies, sickness and torment.
The Church consists of all who put their faith in Jesus Christ of whom He is the Head. He gave His church the ordinances of Water Baptism and Communion. The Church exists to carry on the ministry of Jesus Christ and further advance His kingdom by undoing the works of the enemy, preaching and living the good news of God’s love, disciple the nations, baptizing and teaching them to love and obey God.
In the ever increasing government of God and in the Blessed Hope, which is the glorious visible return of our Lord Jesus Christ for His overcoming bride – His church. Heaven and hell are real places. There will be a resurrection of the saved and the lost, the one to everlasting life and the other to everlasting death
