SUNDAY SCHOOL

From a humble beginning over 200 years ago, Sunday school has grown to become
one of the major sources of Christian Education today. The Sunday school movement traces
its beginning back to Gloucester, England. There, in 1780, a young printer named Robert Raikes,
became concerned for the boys of his neighborhood and their lack of education.
Because Sunday was the only day when the boys were not working in the local
factories, Raikes gathered them on that day to teach them "the three-R's" and the Bible.
The idea of Sunday school quickly caught on and grew rapidly in America.

In 1788 John Wesley wrote to a friend, "I verily think these Sunday Schools are one of the noblest
specimens of charity which have been set on foot in England since William the Conqueror."

At Bible Baptist Church our Sunday School is based on God’s book, the King James Bible.
The classes start in the book of Genesis, and nearly four years later end in the book of Revelation.
Every class, from 3-4 year olds to the adult class, has the same Bible portion as the lesson text on any Sunday.
This makes for all of the family having common themes to discuss, even though they may have been
in different classes.

Classes for every grade level with competent teachers who not only know the Word of God,
but the God of the Word as well. We would be pleased for you to make Bible Baptist Sunday School
part of your family’s Sunday. Join us beginning at 10 A.M. every Sunday, and find out for yourself.

“Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly
dividing the word of truth.” II Timothy 2:15

BUS MINISTRY

Since the beginning, in the early seventies, Bible Baptist Church has had a bus ministry. The purpose is,
and has always been, to reach out into the surrounding community and bring children (and adults) in
to hear the good news message that Jesus died on an old rugged cross, was buried in a borrowed tomb,
and rose victorious over death the third day to purchase our redemption and secure us
a home with Him in glory.

We are currently running three bus routes in Linda, Marysville, and Olivehurst. Lord willing, in the near future,
we will have bus transportation to and from Beale AFB and Yuba City.

If you have children or are in need of transportation yourself, and would like a ride to and from church,
please do not hesitate to call us at 742-2495 and leave a message. We will have someone
contact you and make arrangements to pick you up.

It is our desire to serve you as we serve Christ!

"...Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled."
Luke 14:23b

FORGET ME NOT CARE HOME MINISTRY

It is our desire that every outreach of Bible Baptist Church be a blessing and a Godly testimony
for all those to whom we minister. It is also a tremendous opportunity for those
whom God has called to get "into the ministry" and "exercise the gifts" with which
God has blessed them, and be a blessing to others.

                                        We presently minister in seven facilities in the Marysville / Yuba City area on a monthly basis.

                                                         · First Sunday at 2 p.m. ~ Prestige in Msvl./Sunrise Gardens in Msvl.
                                                         · Second Sunday at 2 p.m. ~ Prestige in Msvl./Sunbridge in Msvl./Courtyard in Y. C.
                                                 Second Monday at 7 p.m. ~ Fountains in Y. C.
                                                         · Third Sunday at 2 p.m. ~ Prestige in Msvl./Emmanuel in Y. C.
                                                         · Fourth Sunday at 2 p.m. ~ Prestige in Msvl./Sunbridge in Y. C./Courtyard in Y. C.
                                                         · Fifth Sunday at 2 p.m. ~ Fountains in Y. C.

We sing hymns, preach and give an invitation at each service. While the preaching service
is going on, other workers visit from room to room, passing out tracts and witnessing to those
in sick beds who need to know that God still loves them. It is imperative that these dear folks
are reached with the Gospel. Just sharing the Gospel in a simple, straight forward,
unadulterated manner from the Word of God, is the only way many of these will ever
receive true comfort in the trials that they now face.

Please come and join us in making a difference in someone's life for the Lord!

GOSPEL TEAM

The “Gospel Team” was born of a desire to see the gospel preached publickly,
as is common in scripture and church history. Had it not been for the convicting power
of the Holy Ghost, we would have chosen to keep our mouths shut and stay indoors.
The practice of preaching the gospel on the street has, for the most part, been
abandoned by today’s form of Christianity.

The purpose is plain, to be publick witnesses for the Lord Jesus Christ. The Bible says to
“preach the gospel to every creature.” The “street meetings” consist of singing, preaching,
quoting scripture, holding scripture signs and banners, and passing out gospel tracts.

Currently we rotate “street meetings” between Marysville, Auburn, Grass Valley, and Sacramento;
one city every other week with some activity in conjunction with holding scripture signs
on Tuesday night visitation. When it can be worked out, we have
scheduled meetings to coincide with other events.

Who participates? It is open to anyone who is willing to be a publick witness for the Lord Jesus Christ.
We encourage family participation.

Results? Our main goal is to be unashamed publick witnesses for the Lord Jesus Christ in a
sin-cursed world. If the Lord chooses to save some along the way (which He has), praise the Lord!
We pray that the Lord Jesus Christ will be honored, and that a voice for righteousness will be heard.

“Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord…” II Timothy 1:8

MUSIC MINISTRY

As with every ministry at BBC, we want our music to bring Glory and Honour to our Lord. We believe
that the priority of any New Testament church must be the PREACHING / TEACHING ministry.
However, the music should compliment the preaching ministry, and prepare the heart of the hearer
to receive the Word more readily.

The music at BBC is conservative, with a gospel impression. Our “Voices of Worship & Praise”
(adult choir) sings each Sunday morning, as well as presenting a cantata at Christmas & Easter.
We have a men’s quartet along w/ various ladies groups, and a wide variety of others.
There is really something for just about everyone’s musical taste.

We have 2 children’s clubs that sing music in church, and we encourage young people to play
and sing for church, as they are able. Our congregational singing centers around the
beloved and faithful hymns! We love them! Occasionally, contemporary choruses are sung as well.

"O come, let us sing unto the Lord: let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation.
Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving, and make a joyful noise unto him with psalms."
Psalm 95:1-2

PEE-WEE's

Begun in 2003, the Pee-Wee Club is a mixture of music, sound Bible teaching, games
and good old fashioned fun. Designed for ages three through nine, each year has a different theme
that focuses on some part of the Christian life. We use original songs composed around
each theme that are active and entertaining for both the children and adults.

Along with a monthly song, the children are encouraged to memorize their verse for the month
and do their daily devotions called A.C.T.'s (for attitude and character training).
Successful completion of these goals enable them to earn rewards that are then
prominently displayed on ribbons during public performances.

"That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine,
by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; But speaking the truth in love,
may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:"
Ephesians 4:14-15

It is our goal to help each child to first trust Jesus Christ as savior and then to equip them,
in concert with the other ministries of the church, to grow in that grace and knowledge
and to become confident in Him as they grow physically.

"Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms

Colossians 3:16

H.E.A.T. (Highly Energized Army of Teens) Club

The teen years can be confusing, difficult, and challenging! Through Sunday morning and
Thursday night classes, weekly outreach, monthly activities, annual trips, retreats, and programs,
the teens at Bible Baptist Church are challenged and equipped to live and grow for Christ while
they are still in their youth. Of course, the only way that we can do this is by taking heed to
the word of God as it says in Psalms 119:9-11:

"Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto according to thy word.
With my whole heart have I sought thee: O let me not wander from thy commandments.
Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.”

...and in I Timothy 4:12:

“Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation,
in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity.”

It is through God’s power, His word, and much prayer that we provide the Bible based wisdom
that teens need, combined with the fun, friendly atmosphere that teens enjoy!
Each year, the teens can look forward to camps, trips, community outreach, fun activities,
and many other opportunities to exercise and live out their faith. Although these years are some
of the most difficult and challenging, teens can have the victory through our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
A life lived for God can be fun and exciting!

MEDIA MINISTRY

The Media Ministry of Bible Baptist Church is designed to compliment the overall
outreach of our church in every area. We currently record all of our services on video and audiotape
as well as provide remote feeds to two on-site viewing rooms, one for nursing mothers and another
for developmentally disabled. In addition, we provide visual support for the main auditorium
in the way of powerpoint slides for singing, scripture readings and coming events.

"The Lord gave the word: great was the company of those that published it."
Psalm 68:11

In this digital age, publishing is much more than just what we used to see on the printed page.
We are endevouring to make the preaching and teaching of the Word of God available
in as many forms as is currently possible and we could use your help. If you
have a natural interest in the technical side of things and a love for
the Lord and are willing to die to self, let us know.

BIBLE BAPTIST ACADEMY

Here at Bible Baptist Church, we offer a complete K-12 Christian education for our members.
Bible Baptist Academy, an integral, inseparable ministry of Bible Baptist Church, stands without
apology for the old-time Gospel and the highest standards of morality, and Christian behavior.
Our objective in having a Christian school ministry is to obey the
Biblical imperative of Deuteronomy 6:5-7:

“And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul,
and with all thy might. And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart:
And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou
sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down,
and when thou risest up.”

...and Proverbs 22:6:

“Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.”

Teaching is training! Our purpose is to train our children for time and eternity in every phase
of Christian discipline. We are an extension of what the Christian home ought to be,
assisting parents in providing a complete Biblical education for their children.
For this reason, the school staff works closely with parents to train the whole child.
The goal of Bible Baptist Academy is to train Christian youth of varying abilities in
the highest principles of Christian leadership, self-discipline, individual
responsibility, personal integrity, and good citizenship
in a distinctively Christian environment.

BIBLE BAPTIST INSTITUTE

Founded in 1990 by former pastor Dr. Brad Weniger, BBI is a four year course on videotape
that covers doctrinal studies, book studies, topical instruction, and practical teaching from the Word of God.
It is designed to equip the student with a basic understanding of their faith and our Saviour that will enable them
to serve the Lord in just about any ministry within the local church or to further prepare them
for whatever calling to which the Lord is leading in their heart.

The course consists of 25 videotaped sessions of varying length, per year, that can be viewed at the
student's convenience. Each tape also contains homework assignments and a minimum amount
of recommended Christian service to meet course requirements for graduation. Students must
also write one paper per year on a given subject with the end goal being publication.

And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men,
who shall be able to teach others also. II Timothy 2:2

We recommend that you inquire about enrolling in Bible Baptist Institute if you would like nothing more
than a solid, basic understanding of the Bible that will help you in every area of your life.

RESCUE MISSION MINISTRY

The Lord has blessed our church with 2 opportunities of preach at the local rescue mission in Marysville.
We previously have had only one night each month to preach. This is the present schedule:

· Second Saturday of each month at 7:30 p.m.
· Fourth Sunday of each month at 7:30 p.m.

If you would be at all interested in coming and serving in this area of ministry with us,
please contact Brother Rick Verga. It is our hope that God would be able to use you in this ministry.
There is a definite need for good Gospel preaching in this area. The perfect, preserved truth from the
Word of God, preached without apology and in love, can certainly meet the needs in any life.
For those who have reached a place in their lives where the only move left to make is up,
we want to be there for them to point the way. No one in this world is of such little
value that they can just be thrown away. After all, the Apostle Paul wrote in I Timothy 1:15...

"This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus
came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief."

This is a great chance to help those who, in most cases, need it most. Will you let God use you in this area?

MISSIONS PROGRAM

"Therefore said he unto them, The harvest truly is great, but the labourers are few:
pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth labourers into his harvest."
Luke 10:2

One's view of missions is often shaped by descriptive words such as "far-away places,"
"foreign," or "sacrifice." The key word usually associated with missions is "go." Jesus declared
to His disciples in Matthew 28:19, "Go ye therefore, and teach all nations..."
At Bible Baptist Church, the focus is summed up in the word "send." Paul reminded believers
in the Epistle to the Romans, chapter 10, verse 15, "And how shall they preach,
except they be sent?" Of course, Jesus is right when He commands us to "go,"
but the task is most fully seen in the group-centered word, "send."
Missions is not an individual endeavor but a team effort - the response
of the church to His heart for the world.

Our privilege of sending missionaries demands fervent prayer, personal contact,
and financial support. Our vision is that we are part of missions whether we "send" or "go."
God has called many of our missionaries to distant lands, while our Lord has called
each born-again child of God to minister in the place where he is. What a privilege it is
to be partners with 40 ministries on 6 continents.

"Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth labourers into his harvest."

"Some go,… some stay and give and pray that others may go…"
