God has
uniquely blessed our church with the awesome vision of “Oneness”. We have
coined the phrase “One Church, One Sound…One Powerful Movement.” That is God’s
desire for His Church. Philippians 2:2 says, “make my joy complete by being of
the same mind, maintaining the same love, united in spirit, intent on one
purpose.” We believe that when we become “One” with God, we will have “Power”
from the Holy Spirit and experience “Movement” of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
The charge
to grow God’s people from “spiritual infancy” to “spiritual maturity” has been a
priority for the Leadership of this church. We are committed to “making
disciples of Christ” according to God’s plan. Bible Way has been developing our
Leadership team (Elders, Ministers, Deacons and Deaconess) to shepherd the
congregation through doctrinal and practical training. It is no coincidence our
name is Bible Way, because we believe in doing God’s work God’s way. The Bible
is the C.O.R.E of our church. We have core values, core behaviors and core
activities which all lead to spiritual growth. Click on the
C.O.R.E. link to see where you
stand.
From our
beginnings in 1975, Dr. Ivory L. Varner has followed the vision that God has
given him. After moving from schools, recreation centers and hotels, we finally
found a home in 1994 at 9000 Frey Road in Houston, Texas. Over the years we had
purchased additional property for future expansion as the body continued to
grow. In 2001 we obtained our current location at 10120 Hartsook Road in
Houston, Texas. We have a wonderful worship center and McNair Ministry Center
for staff offices, Sunday school and other ministry activities.
Our
facility at 9000 Frey road houses our Community Development Corporation,
OnePowerfulMovement, Inc. In June of 2003 we opened our first summer program
for our children and the community. We began to experience “movement” in August
of 2003 when Bible Way Christian Academy began its first semester of school from
pre-kindergarten to 3rd grade. Since then we have grown from 9 kids
in 2003 to 31 in 2005.
Dr. Ivory
Varner has always had a passion for planting churches as a means of further
impacting the world. Bible Way has planted several churches over the past
twenty years. Such churches include Faith Bible Baptist Church, Community Bible
Church, Internal Hope Church and Conquerors Bible Fellowship Church. Bible Way
is also committed to supporting numerous mission projects and makes a yearly
trip to the nation of Kazakhstan in Russia to teach pastors of that country.
God is
continually adding to the body at each worship service. With a current
membership of 700+ and counting we will soon begin preparing for future
expansion. Come join us for some exciting times at Bible Way Fellowship Baptist
Church…come “in the House” and experience the movement!
