Welcome to Berean Missionary Baptist Church

---

  On July 1st, 2024 two families were sent from Valley Landmark Missionary Baptist Church in Spokane Valley, WA. They met in the home of Pastor Matt for 10months. Other families came and joined them in those 10months. The church found its current location in CDA and remodeled it to fit their needs. 

  The name Berean was taken from Acts 17:11. To be a Berean, one must search the scriptures daily to ensure that what they are dealing with is true and from God. This is our defense against the devil and his lies that he tells the world.

The mission of the church is to follow the Great Commission laid out by Jesus in Matthew 28. To see souls won to Christ through outreach and evangelism. After salvation for the believer to follow the Lord in scriptural baptism. We believe that baptism is the picture of Christ and His death, burial, and resurrection. It is the first step in true discipleship. Berean strives to create strong disciples for Christ. The steps to this are strong biblical teaching, expository preaching, and the fellowship of the saints.

We strive to create a loving place for God's children to assemble and grow in their walk with Him.

The head of the church is Jesus Christ; He bought it with His blood. To accomplish His work here, the church is run as a theocracy. Jesus at the head and each member has an equal vote in the operation of the church. 

BMBC is associated with the American Baptist Association. We align with the doctrinal statement of the ABA.

1. We believe that love one for another as Jesus loves the believer manifests our discipleship, proves our love for God and symbolizes our authority as New Testament churches. Love is therefore the great commandment of the LORD Jesus Christ upon which all others are dependent. Matt. 22:35-40; John 13:34,35; John 15:12; 1 John 5:1-3; Rev. 2:4,5
2. We believe in the infallible, verbal inspiration of the whole Bible and that the Bible is the all-sufficient rule of faith and practice. Psalm 119:160; 2 Tim. 3:16,17
3. We believe in the personal triune God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, equal in divine perfection. Matt. 28:19
4. We believe in the Genesis account of Creation. Gen. 1;2
5. We believe that Satan is a fallen angel, the archenemy of God and man, the unholy god of this world, and that his destiny is the eternal lake of fire. Isa. 14:12-15; Ezek. 28:11; Matt. 25:41; 2 Cor. 4:4; Eph. 6:10-17; Rev. 20:10
6. We believe in the virgin birth and sinless humanity of Jesus Christ. Matt. 1:18-20; 2 Cor. 5:21; 1 Peter 2:22
7. We believe in the deity of Jesus Christ. John 10:30; John 1:1, 14; 2 Cor. 5:19
8. We believe the Holy Spirit is the divine Administrator for Jesus Christ in His churches. Luke 24:49; John 14:16, 17; Acts 1:4,5, 8; Acts 2:1-4
9. We believe that miraculous spiritual manifestation gifts were done away when the Bible was completed. Faith, Hope and Love are the vital abiding Spiritual Gifts. 1 Cor. chapters 12-14
10. We believe that Man was created in the image of God and lived in innocency until he fell by voluntary transgression from his sinless state, the result being that all mankind are sinners. Gen. 1:26; Gen. 3:6-24; Rom. 5:12, 19
11. We believe that the suffering and death of Jesus Christ was substitutionary for all mankind and is efficacious only to those who believe. Isa. 53:6; Heb. 2:9; 1 Peter 2:24; 1 Peter 3:18; 2 Peter 3:9; 1 John 2:2
12. We believe in the bodily resurrection and ascension of Christ and the bodily resurrection of His saints. Matt. 28:1-7; Acts 1:9-11; 1 Cor. 15:42-58; 1 These. 4:13-18
13. We believe in premillennial, personal, bodily return of Christ as the crowning event of the Gentile age. This event will include the resurrection of the righteous to eternal heaven, and the Millennium will be followed by the resurrection of the unrighteous unto eternal punishment in the lake of fire and that the righteous shall enter into the heaven age. John 14:1-6; 1 Thess. 4:13-18; 2 Thess. 2:8; Rev. 20:4-6; Rev. 20:11-15; Rev. 21:8
14. We believe that the depraved sinner is saved wholly by grace through faith in Jesus Christ, and the requisites to regeneration are repentance toward God and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, Luke 13:3-5; John 3:16-18; Acts 20:21; Rom. 6:23; Eph. 2:8-9, and that the Holy Spirit convicts sinners, regenerates, seals, secures, and indwells every believer. John 3:6; John 16:8-9; Rom. 8:9-11; 1 Cor. 6:19-20; Eph. 4:30; Titus 3:5
15. We believe that all who trust Jesus Christ for salvation are eternally secure in Him and shall not perish. John 3:36; John 5:24; John 10:27-30; Rom. 8:35-39; Heb. 10:39; 1 Peter 1:5
16. We believe that God deals with believers as His children, that He chastises the disobedient, and that He reward the obedient. Matt. 16:27; Matt. 25:14-23; John 1:12; Heb. 12:5-11; 2 John 8; Rev. 22:12
17. We believe that Jesus Christ established His church during His ministry on earth and that it is always a local, visible assembly of scripturally baptized believers in covenant relationship to carry out the Commission of the Lord Jesus Christ, and each church is an independent, self-governing body, and no other ecclesiastical body may exercise authority over it. We believe that Jesus Christ gave the Great Commission to the New Testament churches only, and that he promised the perpetuity of His churches. Matt. 4:18-22; Matt. 16:18; Matt. 28:19-20; Mark 1:14-20; John 1:35-51; Eph. 3:21
18. We believe that there are two pictorial ordinances in the Lord's churches: Baptism and the Lord's Supper. Scriptural baptism is the immersion of penitent believers in water, administered by the authority of a New Testament church in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The Lord's Supper is a memorial ordinance, restricted to the members of the church observing the ordinance. Matt. 28:19-20; Acts 8:12, 38; Rom. 6:4; 1 Cor. 5:11-13; 1 Cor. 11:1-2, 17-20, 26
19. We believe that there are two divinely appointed offices in a church, pastors and deacons, to be filled by men whose qualifications are set forth in Titus, 1 Timothy.
20. We believe that all associations, fellowships, and committees are, and properly should be, servants of, and under control of the churches. Matt. 20:25-28
21. We believe in the freedom of worship without interference from the government and affirm our belief in civil obedience, unless the laws and regulations of civil government run contrary to the Holy Scriptures. Rom. 13:1-7; 1 Peter 2:13-15
22. We believe the Bible definition of marriage is the union between a man and woman. Gen. 2:21-24; Matt. 19:4-6; Mark 10:6-9; 1 Cor. 7:2-4; Eph. 5:22-31
23. We believe God designates each individual their gender. God ordained two genders, male and female. Mankind does not possess the authority to identify themselves differently than their biological sex assigned by God, and any attempts to alter ones gender is sin. Gen. 1:27, 5:2; Matt. 19:4; Mark 10:6; Job 40:8; Jeremiah 13:23
