About Us

Our Pastor

     Hi, I am Pastor Trevor Martin. My wife Tori and I are so thrilled you have decided to visit this website and we hope to meet you in person soon.

     We have been married since October of 2012, and have two children named William and Henry. 

     Before the two of us were married we both knew that the Lord wanted to use us in some way for Him. We both desire to see the Lord work in the lives of others, and hope that in some way we can be a blessing to you.

     The Lord has blessed us with such an amazing opportunity to serve here at Bible Baptist in Big Timber. If there is ever any way we can be a blessing to you and your family please let us know.

 

Pastor Trevor Martin

Who we are

At Bible Baptist Church, we are a group of believers in Christ, that make it our sole purpose to honor Him in all that we do. We want to preach and teach the truths of God's Word; knowing that It can change the lives of everyone that will follow after Him. 

What we believe

Section 1: Doctrine of the Bible

We believe in the Bible as the verbally (every word) and plenary (completely) inspired Word of God as contained in the original manuscripts; that all portions of Scripture are equally inspired and contain no contradiction. God’s word is to be the only rule of faith and practice for the believer in Jesus Christ; and that the Canon, the sixty-six books of the Bible is complete. Nothing shall be added to it nor taken from it. II Timothy 3:16, 17; Hebrews 1:1; II Peter 1:20, 21; Revelation 22:18, 19

 

We believe that God has preserved His word for all generations. We further believe the KJV is an accurate and faithful translation of these manuscripts and the true texts of Scriptures constitute the preserved, inspired, inerrant, infallible Word of God for the English-speaking people of the world.  For this reason, the King James Version of the Bible shall be the official and only translation used by this church in all of its public ministries.

 

Section 2: Doctrine of God

We believe that the Godhead eternally exists in three Persons-the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit; and that these three are one God, having precisely the same nature, attributes and perfections; and are worthy of precisely the same homage, confidence and obedience. Genesis 1:1; Genesis 1:25; John 1:1; John 14:16, 17; I Timothy 3:16

 

Section 3: Doctrine of Jesus Christ

We believe in the essential deity and virgin birth of our Lord Jesus Christ; that He was begotten by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary not having human father, and is true God and true man; that He is man’s only hope of salvation from sin, being the only mediator between God and man; that He died, was buried, and rose again the third day for our sins according to the Scriptures; that His return for His Church, the Body of Christ, which He will take with Himself into heaven is imminent; and that He will come to this earth to set up His millennial reign. Isaiah 7:14; Luke 1:35; John 1:1-4; John 10:30; John 14:6; I Timothy 2:5, 6; I Thessalonians 4:13-18; Revelation 20:4-6.

 

Section 4: Doctrine of the Holy Spirit

We believe the Holy Spirit to be coequal with the Father and with the Son. He is a Person. He came to this earth as the fulfillment of Christ’s promise. He convicts, regenerates, indwells seals, fills, empowers, and guides the believer. John 16:7-13; John 3:3-5; Acts 1:8; I Corinthians 6:19; Ephesians 1:13, 14; Ephesians 5:18

 

Section 5: Doctrine of Man

We believe that God created man in His own image and that man sinned and thereby incurred not only physical death but also spiritual death which is conscious and eternal separation from God. We believe that all men are born with a sinful nature, evidenced by sinful acts; that man is totally depraved (every aspect of man has been affected by sin) and that if he is not born again, he is eternally lost. Genesis 1:26, 27; Psalm 51:5; Jeremiah 17:9; Luke 16:23; Revelation 21:8; Romans 3:10-23; Romans 5:12; I Corinthians 15:21, 22; Revelation 20:11-15, Revelation 21:8.

 

Section 6: Doctrine of Human Sexuality

We believe that God has commanded that no intimate sexual activity should be engaged in outside of a marriage between a man and a woman. We believe that any form of homosexuality, lesbianism, bisexuality, bestiality, incest, fornication, adultery, and pornography are sinful perversions of God’s gift of sex. Genesis 2:24, 19:5, 13, 26:8-9, Leviticus 18:1-30; Romans 1:26-29; I Corinthians 5:1, 6:9; I Thessalonians 4:1-8; Hebrews 13:4

 

Section 7: Doctrine of Marriage

We believe that God created marriage as a divine institution between one man and one woman for life. God hates divorce and intends marriage to last until one of the spouses dies. Therefore, we never promote divorce as a solution to marital problems. We also believe God’s forgiveness includes all sins, including those who violate God’s permanence of marriage. Even though such forgiven people can be used of the Lord and serve in many areas of the church, we do believe the Scriptures prohibit them from being considered for the offices of pastor or deacon. Malachi 2:14-17; Matthew 19:3-12; Romans 7:1-3; I Timothy 3:2,12; Titus 1:6

 

Section 8: Doctrine of Human Life

We believe that human life begins at conception and that the unborn child is a living human being. We believe that the unjustified, unexcused taking of human life such as abortion, euthanasia, and infanticide is murder. We reject any teaching that abortions of pregnancies due to rape, incest, birth defects, gender selection, population control or the mental well being of the mother are acceptable. Job 3:16; Psalms 51:1-5, 139:14-16; Isaiah 44:24; 49:1,5; Jeremiah 1:5, 20:15-18; Luke 1:44

 

Section 9: Doctrine of Salvation

We believe that a person is saved when he repents of his sin and exercises faith in the atoning work of Jesus Christ thus receiving Him as personal Savior.  

 

We believe that the scope of salvation includes forgiveness of all our sins past, present, and future: a perfect standing before God as in Jesus Christ: and the changing of our earthly body to be conformed like unto the body of our Lord at His return for His own.  We believe that the saved will spend eternity with God in heaven.

 

We believe the doctrinal extremes of Calvinism and Arminianism are unbiblical.

 

We further believe that there is an appointed day for the judgment of the wicked when they will be cast into the Lake of Fire, there to remain in everlasting conscious punishment and torment. John 1:12; John 5:24; John 10:28, 29; Romans 6:23; II Corinthians 5:21; Eph. 2:8, 10; I John 5:17; Romans 8:19-23; I John 3:2; II. Thessalonians 1:7-9; Hebrews 9:27; II Peter 2:8, 9; Revelation 20:12-15; Revelation 21:8

 

Section 10: Doctrine of Eternity

We believe in the bodily resurrection of the dead, both of the just and the unjust; the eternal conscious punishment of the lost in Hell and the eternal joy of the saved in Heaven (Daniel 12:1-2; Matthew 25:31-46; 1 Corinthians 15:22-24; Revelation 20).

 

Section 11: Doctrine of the Church

We believe that the local church is composed of:

 

  1. A local group of believers that is autonomous, self-governing, and has no ecclesiastical organization in authority over it.

  2. Believers who are baptized by immersion.

  3. Believers who are organized. They have for their officers, pastors, deacons and such other leaders as God has given special gifts to render as a ministry to the church.

  4. Believers who observe the ordinances of Baptism and the Lord ’s Supper.

  5. Believers who meet regularly for fellowship, worship, and Bible study.

  6. Believers who carry out the Great Commission. 1 Corinthians 12:13; Acts 2; I Thessalonians 4:13-18; I Corinthians 16:19; Acts 2:41; 1 Corinthians 12; Hebrews 10:25; I Corinthians 11:23, 24; Matthew. 28:18-20

 

Section 12: Doctrine of Satan and Fallen Angels

We believe that Satan is a person. He was created perfect but sinned and became the arch enemy of God and His creation. He is the chief adversary of God’s children. He seeks to keep man from the Lord, and when he cannot succeed in this, he seeks to weaken the testimony of Christians. He has at his command a great host of fallen angels and demons to carry out his purposes. He is not omnipotent and can be overcome by the power of God. His doom is sealed in the Lake of Fire forever and forever. Ezekiel 28:12-19; Isaiah. 14:12-14; Revelation 12:10; Revelation 20:10.
 

Section 13: Doctrine of Last Things

We believe there will be a resurrection of all, first the just at the coming of Jesus Christ and finally the unjust after the millennium. The saints are raised to be forever with the Lord, and the unsaved will be confined for eternity in the Lake of Fire. We believe in the “Blessed Hope”(Titus 2:13) which is the personal, bodily, pretribulational, premillennial, and imminent return of our Lord and Savior for His Church at the rapture and His later return to the earth in power and glory with His saints to set up His Kingdom ( the millennium). John 14:1-3; Acts 1:9-11, Acts 24:15; I Corinthians. 15:3-20; Philippians 3:20; I Thessalonians 4:13-18, I John 2:1-2, Rev. 20: 1-15, Rev. 21:8
