What We Believe

Our beliefs are rooted in Scripture, centered on Jesus Christ, and lived out through faith, fellowship, and obedience to God’s Word. At Bible Pathways Fellowship, we believe the Christian life is a path we walk together as we grow in grace, truth, and love.

Our Story

Rooted in God’s Word. Centered on Jesus.

At Bible Pathways Fellowship, we believe the Christian life is a path we walk together. Our church exists to help people know Jesus, grow in faith, build real relationships, and follow God’s Word in everyday life.

We are an unaffiliated, independent church committed to teaching Scripture clearly, faithfully, and practically. Everything we do is rooted in the Bible and centered on Jesus Christ.

Bible Pathways Fellowship began six years ago with a small group of six people gathering in a church member’s home. From those humble beginnings, the Lord has continued to guide and grow our church family.

Our founding pastor, Duane Denton, served faithfully until his passing during the COVID pandemic. During that season, Robert “Bob” Huffman stepped in to provide steady leadership while the church searched for a permanent pastor.

Today, Bible Pathways Fellowship is led by Pastor Stephen Schaffer and governed by a church council made up of five elders who help provide spiritual guidance and care for the congregation.

While our church has grown over the years, our heart has remained the same: to create a welcoming place where people can follow Jesus, grow in God’s Word, and walk through life together.

Whether you’ve followed Jesus for years or you’re simply beginning to ask questions about faith, you are welcome here.

Connection

Our Mission

“Connecting people to Jesus and one another, and transforming lives through the Gospel.”

Everything we do at Bible Pathways Fellowship flows from this mission. From worship and biblical teaching to fellowship and serving others, our desire is to help people grow in faith, build meaningful relationships, and follow Jesus together.

Our Core Belief

We Believe the Bible Is God’s Word

We believe the Bible is the inspired, inerrant, and final authority for faith and life. Scripture teaches us who God is, reveals His truth, and helps guide us as we follow Jesus.

God’s Word is not only something we study on Sundays. It shapes how we live our everyday lives, love, serve, and grow throughout the week.

Our teaching is Bible-based and practically focused on helping people apply God’s truth to everyday life.

“Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.” -Psalm 119:105

Our Pathways

Our Beliefs

At Bible Pathways Fellowship, our beliefs guide how we worship, teach, serve, and walk through life together. We are committed to the truth of Scripture, the hope of the Gospel, and the grace found in Jesus Christ. These core beliefs shape who we are as a church family and help us grow in faith, encourage one another, and live out God’s Word in everyday life.

We Believe in One God

We believe there is one God who exists eternally in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

God is holy, faithful, loving, and sovereign over all things. He is not distant from us. He desires a relationship with people and continues to work in lives today through His presence, grace, and truth.

We believe God meets people where they are and continues to guide them as they grow in faith.

We Believe Jesus Christ is Lord and Savior

We believe Jesus Christ is fully God and fully man. He was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, died on the cross for our sins, and rose bodily from the grave. Through Jesus, we are offered forgiveness, hope, and eternal life.

We believe salvation is not earned through good works or religious performance. It is a gift of God’s grace received through faith in Jesus Christ alone.

Because of Jesus, people can experience freedom, restoration, and a new beginning no matter where they have been or what their story looks like.

We Believe Salvation is by Grace Through Faith

We believe salvation is freely offered to all who place their faith in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.

As believers continue walking with Christ, God transforms hearts and lives through prayer, Scripture, fellowship, and obedience to His Word.

At Bible Pathways Fellowship, we believe the church should be a place where people can grow together in faith. We are people learning to trust Jesus more each day and encouraging one another along the way.

We Believe in Baptism and Communion

We practice believer’s baptism by immersion as a public expression of faith in Jesus Christ. Baptism symbolizes the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus and represents new life in Him.

We also observe the Lord’s Supper as a symbolic act of obedience and remembrance of Christ’s sacrifice for us. These practices are meaningful expressions of faith and important parts of walking with Christ.

We Believe the Church is Meant to Walk Together

We believe the church is a local body of believers called to worship and pray together, encourage one another, and share the hope of Christ with the world.

One of the things that makes Bible Pathways Fellowship unique is our focus on genuine community. We gather before every service for food and fellowship because we believe connection starts long before the message begins.

Our church also supports missions both locally and internationally, including ministry partnerships in Uganda and outreach efforts within our local community.
