Labels are important
Labels give identity, reveal character, and offer a sense of security in the presence of multiple options. The name of our church was carefully chosen to distinguish our theological convictions and demonstrate our commitment to draw these convictions from the Bible through faithful exposition.
Sovereign Grace Bible Church is committed to the expositional teaching of God’s Word, as a means of grace, for the building up of the saints for the mission of reaching out to the lost and restoring the weary. We are convinced that in the midst of the shifting sands of popular opinion, the Word of God is the only unchanging source of hope and life that provides personal and spiritual stability.
Here at Sovereign Grace we seek to measure the experiences of life by God’s objective standard, as revealed through the Bible, and not through subjective feelings. Thus, it is God’s Word that is the center and heart of all our gatherings and is the unifying element of our fellowship and evangelism.
The Christian church has been blessed by many godly men who have come before us in church history. Men such as the Puritans, C.H. Spurgeon, the Southern Baptist founders, Dr. John MacArthur, and Dr. James M. Boice have helped unify the church on doctrine through biblical confessions and creeds.
We use confessions and creeds as secondary tools that help systematically organize our primary source, which is the Bible. We distinguish ourselves, build up the saints, and protect against error through the study of historic confessions such as, “The Abstract of Principals” which was adopted by the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in 1858, the “2nd London Baptist Confession of Faith of 1689″, and the “Chicago Statement on Biblical Inerrancy 1988″.
We seek to build up the saints upon the Word of God and through faithful application of the doctrines derived from Scripture. The Bible is our book of order, leadership, and life; therefore we seek to bring the church under Scripture’s direction in all areas of order and organization.
Sovereign Grace Bible Church enjoys the oversight of our sponsoring church, yet Sovereign Grace is an autonomous Church that determines its own local organization and government. We are lead and directed by a plurality of Elders who are dedicated to prayer, the ministry of the Word, and oversight of the church; deacons will also be called to serve the many physical needs of the local body of believers.
We strive to be Biblically balanced
The primary time for building up of the saints is during our corporate service of worship. On the Lord’s Day we gather together to hear and obey the Word of God and sing God’s praise united in Spirit and truth according to Colossians 3:12-17. This time of corporate worship should produce deeper fellowship within the local body of believers resulting in the application of what they have learned individually through discipleship and personal evangelism.
Our ministry from the pulpit primarily consists of the exposition of Scripture, with life-centered application for everyone. The preaching of the Word is the highest point of our worship service and is to be handled with reverential fear and awe as it directs the people of God to hear and adhere to the living Words of Christ.
Sovereign Grace Bible Church is dedicated to expository teaching for the glory of God and for the good of the saints. The application of the truth produces in the church obedience to Christ’s command to go into the world and honor His name through local and world evangelism.
The explanation and application of the Word of Truth is then seen as the only true source of mankind’s hope, joy and peace.
What makes our church distinct?
- The virgin birth of Christ
- The deity of Christ
- The bodily resurrection of Christ from the dead
- The second coming of Christ
- Man is saved by Grace alone, through Faith alone in the finished work of Christ alone.
- Man is totally depraved and spiritually dead and must be saved by God’s sovereign grace not any work on man’s part but through faith alone, by grace alone, and for God’s glory alone
- The inspiration and inerrancy of Scripture
- Obedience to the great commission Matthew 28:19-20
We are a Mutually Committed Church
Sovereign Grace Bible Church is a place where you can step aside from the world to be refreshed by the Word in the fellowship of a loving church family. We are not a perfect church, but rather a fellowship of believers committed to God and to one another. We love the Lord; therefore, we love others.
Sovereign Grace Bible Church is dedicated to the doctrines of grace and expressing those doctrines with grace.
We would like to invite you to attend our worship services or contact us for more information.
