Irving Bible Church – Irving, Texas

They exist to live out the transforming love of Jesus. They want to lead a movement of gospel transformation as people meet Jesus, learn to trust and follow him, and are sent out into their neighborhoods as missionary disciples. May we be captured by the uncommon love of Jesus and compelled to join his work in the world.

God is calling us

The people of Irving Bible Church, to become a multi-ethnic movement of missionary disciples, formed in the way of Jesus for the sake of the world.

A Multi – ethnic Environment

In the Scriptures and in our world today we find that the power of the gospel is demonstrated when a diverse group of people finds unity in Jesus.

Missionary Disciples

God calls each of us to understand who we are in light of what Jesus has done on our behalf. As a result, we live into our identity as his people by being with him and joining his mission.

Formed in the way of Jesus

We want to be transformed people who experience vibrant spiritual growth together. We want the Spirit of God to shape us more and more into the likeness of Jesus as we follow after him.

For the sake of the World

We want the transformation we experience in Christ to move us out in the city. As a church, we want to mobilize transformed people, not just our resources, so that our neighbors can know the love of Jesus and experience his transformation for themselves.

Our Posture

In presenting our beliefs we keep in mind three principles. In all essential beliefs, we have unity. In nonessential beliefs, we have liberty. In all our beliefs, we show love.

God

God is the creator and ruler of the universe. He has eternally existed in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. These three are co-equal and are one God.

Jesus Christ

Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He is co-equal with the Father and lived a sinless human life and offered himself as the perfect sacrifice for the sins of all people by dying on a cross. He arose from the dead after three days to demonstrate his power over sin and death. He ascended to Heaven’s glory and will return again someday to earth to reign as King of Kings and Lord of Lords.

The Holy Spirit

The Holy Spirit is co-equal with the Father and the Son of God and is present in the world to make men aware of their need for Jesus Christ. He lives in every Christian from the moment of salvation and provides the Christian with power for living, understanding of spiritual truth and guidance in doing what is right. He gives believers spiritual gifts when they are saved. As Christians, we seek to live under his control daily. 

The Church

We believe that the universal church, the body of Christ, consists of all believers regardless of organizational affiliation and that Christ commanded for His church the observance of water baptism and the Lord’s Supper until he returns.

We also believe the local church should be a witness to the contemporary world. Without compromising biblical absolutes, a church’s ministry, worship, and teaching should creatively adapt to the particular culture it feels called to reach. 

Eternity

People were created to exist forever. We will either exist eternally separated from God by sin or eternally with God through forgiveness and salvation. To be eternally separated from God is Hell. To be eternally in union with Him is eternal life. Heaven and Hell are real places of eternal existence.
