Statement of Faith

The Bible is the only the standard by which sinners will be judged. Creeds of men must be rejected as authoritative, and should never be used as a standard for determining religious truth. However, realizing that statements of faith can be profitable to facilitate discussion and understanding between those who seek to glorify God, we offer the attached declarations for what we believe regarding various issues facing the church.

What is Bible Passages?

Bible Passages is an evangelistic and educational mission of the church designed to reach the lost and edify the church both in the United States and abroad.

​

It is also a ministry of John and Carla Moore, and many others, who are working together with the Dripping Springs church of Christ, Bear Valley Bible Institute International, Southwest School  of Bible Studies, and World Video Bible School.

​

Bible Passages is a work committed to training preachers, equipping the Saints, defending the faith, and guiding souls to Jesus.
