Pastor Stanton Drinks, Sr. is God's under shepherd for Golden Star Baptist Church (GSBC). He was born and educated in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Rev. Drinks' firm and confident proclamation of God's word has changed the lives of many.

Rev. Drinks answered God's call to the ministry in 1987 and was ordained under the leadership of Rev. Theodore Stanback, Pastor, New Galillee Missionary Baptist Church. Shortly thereafter, Rev. Drinks became the Founder & Pastor of Greater St. John Baptist Church. In 1991, Greater St. John merged with Golden Star Baptist Church and Rev. Drinks was installed as Pastor in November of that year.

In 1996, Pastor Drinks initiated a "Move of Faith" and relocated the church from its original building at 2017 Ridge Avenue to our current facility at 1635-39 North 27 th Street. The building that houses our church was a run-down garage that was the former home of a carwash.

Over the years, the membership of Golden Star has continued to grow.
