About Us

"And He said to him, 'You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the great and foremost commandment. The second is like it, you shall love your neighbor as yourself. On these two commandments depend the whole Law and the Prophets.'" Matthew 22:37-40

At BVBC we believe that God has saved us and set us apart for three primary purposes. First, He has reconciled us to Himself that we might glorify Him and enjoy Him forever. Second, He has brought us together as a body of believers that we might stir one another up to love and good works, and that we might grow together in the grace and knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ. Third, He has called us to be conduits of love and grace in the context of the community in which He has placed us. We believe that the more we know God, the more we will love and glorify Him. So we place a high emphasis on preaching and teaching the word of God. We believe the more we know each other, the more we will stir one another up to love and good works. So we place a high emphasis on fellowship. We believe the more involved in the community we are, the more opportunities we will have to share the love of Christ with those around us who don't yet know the Lord. So we strive to take advantage of all the opportunities and resources that the Lord gives us to be involved in community outreach. We would love for you to come join us as we pursue these purposes together. May God bless you, and we look forward to seeing you soon!

The sole basis for all our beliefs are outlined in the Bible: which is uniquely God inspired, without error, and the final authority on all matters on which it bears. As the Bible teaches, there is one God, eternally existing in three persons-Father, Son, and Holy Spirit-each possessing all the attributes of deity.

We believe that God created humans to have fellowship with Him, but they defied God by sinfully going their own way. As a result, we need God’s saving grace to end our alienation from God. Salvation comes only through God’s grace-not human effort-and must be received personally by repentance and faith.

We believe that Jesus Christ lived a sinless life on earth and voluntarily paid for our sin by dying on the cross as our substitute. This accomplished salvation for all who receive grace by trusting in Him alone. He rose from the dead and is the only mediator between people and God. He will return to earth to consummate history.

SOLA GRATIA: We believe that salvation is by the grace of God alone. It is totally unmerited by the sinner and can only be received as a free gift of God's grace.

SOLA FIDE: We believe that salvation comes to the sinner through faith alone and not through any religious ritual or external work.

SOLUS CHRISTUS: We believe that the object of true and saving faith is the Lord Jesus Christ alone. It is only through faith in His righteous life and substitutionary sacrifice that any human being can be reconciled to God.

SOLA SCRIPTURA: We believe the Bible is our final authority in all matters of faith and practice. We believe the Bible is God breathed, and that it is inerrant, infallible, and all-sufficient in the original texts.

SOLI DEO GLORIA: Since salvation is a work of God alone from beginning to end, all glory belongs to Him.
