Thank you for visiting with us through this channel! As a church, our goal is to bring glory to God because of His Son Jesus Christ (Ephesians 3:21). To that end, we want to share with you the good news of salvation and the goal of our services.

The Good News of Salvation
We recognize that God created the world and has the right to rule over the world (Revelation 4:11). Sadly, however, we understand that each of us choose to sin against God (Romans 3:23). Certainly, disobedience against an all-powerful, creator God deserves justice, meaning we deserve judgment. The Bible describes that judgment as death and eternity apart from God (Romans 6:23; Revelation 20:12-15; 21:8). Thankfully, there is good news though! The Bible teaches that God loved the world (John 3:16) and sent His Son to die for our sins (Romans 5:8) and over come sin by rising from the dead (1 Corinthians 15:3-4)! Because Jesus died and rose again, we can be saved by confessing our sin to God, believing on Jesus’ death and resurrection, and asking God to save us (Romans 10:9-10,13). This means we do not earn salvation from God; rather, He graciously gives us salvation through faith in Jesus (Ephesians 2:8-9; Titus 3:3-7). If you haven’t asked Christ alone to save you from your sins, we would encourage you to do so today! If you have questions about the Bible’s teaching on salvation, please feel free to contact us at church@biblebaptistwc.org.

The Goal of Our Services
Looking further at the Bible’s teaching regarding Christianity, we also recognize the importance of believers belonging to and participating in churches as they meet (Acts 2:41-42; 1 Corinthians 1:2). Biblically, the church is to be a place where God is praised through song, prayers are made, the Bible is preached, spiritual gifts are exercised, the Lord’s table/communion is remembered, and believers are challenged and encouraged. Due to the current precautions from COVID-19, we are unable to conduct church in a way that meets all of these responsibilities. We do, however, want to function as closely as possible to this manner. As a result, we encourage you:
1.) to sing along with us – even if you are alone. While we recognize that it can be awkward, God is still worthy of our praise.

2.) to encourage you to belong to a church and serve within it (Hebrews 10:25; 1 Corinthians 12; Ephesians 4:11-16). Thankfully, Christians who have committed themselves to a church family can still experience fellowship in spite of the limitations on meeting right now. Additionally, we would encourage you to reach out to your church family in love, serving them during this time.

For our church family, we will continue giving you opportunities to serve one another as we seek to bring glory to God during this time.
