Our campaign ends in . . .
Goal: Planting like-minded, Gospel-centered churches out of First Street Bible Church
(FSBC).
First Street Bible Church began as an independent Bible Church in 2010 as a church
re-vitalization and has since slowly but steadily grown to a body a little over 300 (nearly
200 adults and well over 100 children/youth).
We are an elder-led church (currently seven men–five “lay elders,” a full-time pastor and
a part-time music/administrative pastor). We baptize (by immersion) Christ-followers
and take the Lord’s Supper together once to twice a month. We hold to the five solas of
the Reformation. We are complementarian. We are cessationists. We are not as
hard-line positionally as any “camp” might like in our eschatology. We are not
program-driven so “body life” mostly happens “organically.” Please read our doctrinal
statement to gain a fuller understanding of our core doctrines and distinctives.
The biblical concept of a church being one, united, relationally close-knit local body that
worships together every Sunday and then ministers to and with one another throughout
each week is a high priority for us, as is one-on-one discipleship and small group
relationships (the making and maturing of disciples/followers of Christ). Our
vision/mission is Colossians 1:28 “Christ we proclaim, warning everyone and teaching
everyone with all wisdom, that we may present everyone mature in Christ.”
We have formal membership, built around a membership covenant in which the church
and leaders make members a number of promises and members commit to fulfill the
Scriptures commands of believers and the church. About 50-60% of those who call First
Street Bible “their church” are formal members.
As the shepherding load at First Street has continued to steadily increase and the ability
for the body to remain in one service is becoming more and more of a challenge, the
current elders sense the best thing for us to do next is to plant a new church in or
around Lincoln with some of the existing body going with the plant. If you would like to
apply for the position of Planting Pastor (who would begin as an associate with our
current body until we together sense we are ready to send and plant), please read on.
