Redeemer Bible Church
Proclaiming Christ as the joy of all people
Our Mission
We exist to exalt the Lord, edify the saints, evangelize our world through accurate consistent proclamation and application of God’s Word
“Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”
Matthew 28:19-20 ESV
Who we are
Redeemer Bible Church (RBC) is striving to be a healthy church that faithfully preaches the Bible, clearly understands and lives out the life changing power of the gospel, and is committed to making and maturing faithful disciples of Jesus Christ.
Biblically Driven
The Bible is God’s final, inspired, inerrant and authoritative Word. Therefore, the pastors equip the membership for this God-given responsibility primarily through expository preaching where we proclaim God’s revealed will for our lives. Furthermore, the Scriptures teach that the entire church body has the final authority under God’s Word, so we take our joyful commitments to one another before God and each other seriously.
Gospel Centred
The gospel of Jesus Christ is at the centre of all we do. We wholeheartedly worship God according to how he has revealed himself in his Word. Therefore, we have ordered our worship service so that the gospel as revealed in Scripture is read, preached, prayed, sung, and seen in baptism and the Lord’s Supper.
Historically Grounded
We identify with the vibrant, historical, God-centred, evangelical faith. We gladly affirm the essentials of biblical Reformation theology. The Scripture alone is our authority. And from the Scriptures, we discover that we are saved by God’s grace alone only by exercising our God-given faith in Christ alone to God’s glory alone.
Missionary Engaged
Christ has called us to follow him and help others to follow him. We do this by one-on-one, sincere, gospel-affirming relationships between Christians that build us to Christ-like maturity – something programs and activities can never do. We seek to fulfill the Lord’s great commission through our local witness in preaching and discipling and by sending and supporting those who go for the sake of his name.
Statement of faith
From the time of the Apostles to today, Christians have laid out doctrine (i.e. beliefs drawn from Scripture) in definitive, systemized, summary statements or creeds (e.g. Apostles, Nicene, Chalcedonian, Athanasius, etc.). As those who know the God of the universe as revealed in the Bible, we believe it necessary to set forth concisely the essential truths of our church as guided by God’s Holy Word—the Bible. This Statement of Faith for Redeemer Bible Church is our attempt to help us: summarize the essential, orthodox, Christian beliefs, show our unity in Christian belief, and guard our church against error and ignorance.
Article 1: Of The Scriptures
We believe that the Holy Bible was written by men divinely inspired, and is a perfect treasure of heavenly instruction; that it has God for its author, salvation for its end, and truth without any mixture of error, for its matter; that it reveals the principles by which God will judge us; and therefore is, and shall remain to the end of the world, the true center of Christian union, and the supreme standard by which all human conduct, creeds, and opinions should be tried.
Article 2: Of The True God
We believe that there is one, and only one, living and true God, an infinite, intelligent Spirit, whose name is Yahweh, the Maker and Supreme Ruler of heaven and earthinexpressibly glorious in holiness, and worthy of all possible honor, confidence, and love;that in the unity of the Godhead there are three persons, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost; equal in every divine perfection,and executing distinct but harmonious offices in the great work of redemption.
