I’m Phil Owens, pastor of Bible Missionary Fellowship. That’s me in the photo below, taken at a dinner/concert we did on our front lawn this past August. I’m 47, married almost 26 years to my incredible wife, Toni, who is my best friend and closestconfidant. We have three great kids who are my pride and joy--Joseph, Jameson, and Ben, ages 8, 11, and 19. OK then, enough about me.

About our church: Our goal is to exalt the Lord Jesus Christ as God the Creator, the second person of the Trinity, the virgin-born, one and only Savior of the world who died as a substitutionary sacrifice, and rose from the dead in order to satisfy the just death penalty for the sins of all people everywhere. (Yes, that’s a mouthful, and something none of us will fully appreciate until we get to heaven.)

Next, we want you to know that you can have salvation from your own sins; you can have a brand new life here on earth, and you can escape hell and gain heaven by trusting in Christ alone to save you. Ask Him; He’s never turned anyone away!

At the point of your salvation, God makes you a part of His Church, or what the Bible calls the Body of Christ; that’s us. We are united to Christ, and to one another, by the Holy Spirit who lives in each of us. That makes us closer than family; and that’s what you will find when you visit us. We love one another, and we are having a great time serving together.

Answers to FAQ’s: Average Sunday attendance is about 90. We do have an evening service. We do have a broad demographic mix. Congregational music is primarily hymns (both old and new); instrumentation includes piano, upright bass, acoustic guitar, mandolin, and fiddle. We do tend to place a strong emphasis on learning the Bible; we try to teach the Scriptures as precisely as possible, then make an accurate, practical application to our contemporary situation. And while we do take our responsibilities seriously, we try not to take ourselves too seriously. We believe the church ought to be a place of joy, encouragement, and real, lasting friendships. We invite you to visit us soon; until then, may God bless you!
