Our purpose, in line with WBC Vision Statement:
From Fellowship to Discipleship
- To grow in our knowledge and love of God and His Word, establishing a Biblical basis for all we do so that we may walk in a manner worthy of the Lord.
- To foster prayer with and for one another, recognizing our dependence upon the Lord.
- To nurture our growth in spiritual maturity to help us flourish in our various roles and relationships.
- To help spread the Gospel message, focus on discipleship, and encourage missions.
Titus 2:3-5
“Older women are to be reverent in behavior…to teach what is good and so train the young women”
Colossians 1:9-12
“be filled with knowledge of His will…to walk in a manner worthy of the Lord…being strengthened with all power, according to His glorious might, for all endurance and patience with joy, giving thanks to the Father who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of the saints in light.”

Abide: A Study of 1, 2, & 3 John by Jen Wilkin (book and video)
How can we hold onto assurance of our faith? How can we discern the truth from a lie? How can we know God loves us? In these three short letters, the apostle John reminds an early church facing division, deception, and doubt to hold fast to what they know and to live like they believe it. Two thousand years later, his words remind Christians facing similar challenges to recall a great salvation and to abide in the truth.

Note from the Elders regarding Bible studies:
At WBC the only resource that we explicitly affirm and endorse is the Bible (Heb. 4:12). While we regularly engage with different books and resources, we do so actively discerning (1 Jn 4:1) and measuring their claims against God’s breathed-out Word, the Bible, as our standard. We encourage all within our fellowship to use wisdom (Ja. 1:5), walk in the Spirit (Gal. 5:22-23), and utilize the community of Faith as you consume content. Our desire is that no one would be distracted and deceived by false teaching (Col. 2:8, 2 Tim 3-4).
