Bible Baptist Church is a traditional Baptist Church in Ashtabula, Ohio. We are a congregation dedicated to the glory of the exalted Christ and the absolute authority of God’s Word. If you are seeking a Baptist church in Ashtabula that maintains a reverent, conservative atmosphere and a commitment to historic biblical truth, we invite you to join us.
At the heart of our ministry is a firm conviction in God's Word. We exclusively use the KJV Bible in all our church ministries. We do not merely quote the Scriptures; we build our lives upon them. Our preaching is expository and serious, designed to bridge the gap between ancient truth and your current trials.
We believe that salvation is by grace through faith in Jesus Christ alone, and we emphasize personal application—asking not just "What does the Bible say?" but "How does this change my walk with Christ today?"
When you visit Bible Baptist, you will find a traditional worship service characterized by:
Whether you are looking for a new church home or are simply searching for the "old paths," you will find a warm welcome and a firm foundation here.
Our friendly greeters will be glad to help you locate the proper class or nursery for your children. We have a nursery with experienced staff for children two and under. There are Sunday School classes for all other age groups. During the morning worship service, children up through fourth grade enjoy learning about the Lord in an age appropriate way in the Children's Church. Sunday evenings, children kindergarten through fourth grades are involved in the Kings Kids Club, and grades five through twelve are involved in Teens In Action.
Bible Baptist Church is conveniently located less than a mile east of Route 45, on Route 20 - Just minutes off of Interstate 90. You can use the Google Directions applet for specific, turn by turn directions from your address.
Whether you have grown up in church all your life, or are visiting a church for the first time, when you visit the Bible Baptist Church, you should expect a personal encounter with Jesus Christ, through the compassionate preaching of the Word of God, and through the worshipful singing of music to the glory of God. Our friendly greeters will welcome you to the service, and answer any questions you might have about where to go. The church members will endeavor to share Christ's love with you and to make you feel welcomed and cared about.
We are confident that when your visit concludes, you will leave knowing that God has spoken to your heart, and that you have been in the company of the Lord's people. We also trust that you will look forward to returning soon.
While visitors are always welcome to attend any services, church membership is very important for several reasons:
We accept new members in the following three ways:
While everything done in the worship services is Bible based, Christ centered, and done for the glory of God, each service is distinct.
We are always striving to do the best we can for the Master! We understand that our mission as a church is to glorify God by reaching the lost, strengthening the saved, and preparing others to serve the Lord. As a church, we are committed to ministering to the whole family. We have ministries for children, teenagers, adults, and seniors. We have some ministries that are local, and some that literally reach around the globe. All are done with dependence upon God, a desire to evangelize the lost, and strengthen the Lord's people.
Take a few moments to browse through the various ministries listed here, and see a little of what our church is doing for the Lord. Even better, find a place to get involved yourself!
The diligent labors of our church choir members help to prepare hearts to worship the Lord and attend to the preaching of the Word. In addition to singing in practically all Sunday Morning worship services, the choir presents several full length musicals throughout the year, usually around Christmas, Easter, and Independence Day.
As a 'Seed-Line Church,' we work together with World Missions Bearing Precious Seed, in Missouri, producing Bibles that can be freely distributed by missionaries on the foreign field. We raise money through the donations of our members, and then assist Bearing Precious Seed in assembling copies of the New Testament books of John and Romans using equipment at our church. When the copies are completed, we deliver them to Bearing Precious Seed, who in turn, sends them to the mission field.
Our church bus ministry is committed to helping boys and girls, teens, and adults worship the Lord, by offering a free ride to church for both Sunday services!
Children are a blessing from the Lord, and boys and girls need to learn about Jesus, too! Our Children's Church, for children aged four through fourth grade, provides a warm and nurturing environment where boys and girls can be taught the truths of God's Word in an age appropriate way, and are encouraged to develop a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
Children's Church meets during the 11 A.M. worship service, in the church Fellowship Hall.
We are always seeking for ways to share the Gospel with our community. Each week, we set aside time to go out on soul winning visitation; we provide Gospel tracts to use as a tool in sharing our faith; and many of our members are faithful in seeking to win their friends, families, co-workers, and neighbors to the Lord. It is always exciting to see when God blesses our labors, and souls trust Christ as Savior, are obedient to the Lord's command for baptism, and begin to grow in their spiritual walk. It is especially thrilling to see those who have been recently won to Christ begin to share their faith, and seek to win others to the Lord!
Our Kings Kids Club, for children in kindergarten through fourth grades, provides solid teaching from the Word of God, with a focus on Bible memorization, in a fun environment. Each meeting of Kings Kids Club is Gospel centered, and our faithful workers have a strong desire to help these children get saved and grow in the Lord.
The club meets on Sunday evenings at 6 P.M.
Our experienced and dedicated staff of nursery workers provide a loving and secure environment for small children, from newborn babies through age three, to be cared for while parents spend time in the church services. Nursery care is provided in all Sunday and Wednesday services.
In Sunday School, all students are immersed in the study of the Word of God. Exciting Bible stories and practical life truths are taught each week by a staff of dedicated teachers. Christian songs are learned, and many wonderful friends are made. Sunday School begins at the church every Sunday at 10:00 A.M.
The most important question for you to answer is, where will I spend eternity? Life is very short. The Scripture reveals that man's life is "even as a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away" (James 4:14). Your life is passing by very quickly; where you go when you die depends on the decision that you will make in this life about the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Suggested Prayer: Lord, I know that I am a sinner. I now turn to you, asking you to forgive my sin, come into my life, and be my Savior. Amen.
Teens In Action, for grades five through twelve, helps young people continue to develop in their faith through careful application of the Scriptures to real life situations. All teenagers are encouraged to find an area of ministry to begin serving God.
Goals include helping teens understand the importance of the Word of God, developing Bible study discipline, considering full-time ministry, and developing strong convictions on morality.
Vacation Bible School is a highlight of the church calendar! Children, Teens, and Adults enjoy the focus on studying the Bible and memorizing verses. In one recent year, there were nine professions of faith in Christ Jesus during this action-packed week.
The church supports more than fifty missionaries and missions endeavors. Each year a missions conference is held to encourage faith-promise missions giving. Truly, the sun never sets on the ministry of the Bible Baptist Church!
