Who We Are

As an independent Bible church,   we are not formally affiliated with any denomination. This gives us independence from human tradition and authority, and frees us to be totally dependent on Jesus Christ, the Head of every local congregation of believers.   Our Pastors take seriously their responsibility to shepherd the people that God has placed under their care.   Our people are also taught that they are responsibe to share in the ministry of the church through the exercise of the gifts and talents that God has given them by His grace. Because of this emphasis, a very high percentage of our people are actively serving the Lord at Marr.

Although we are not affiliated with any denomination, as a church we recognize our responsibility and accountability to other believers who make up the body of Christ in our area.   Because of this, we fellowship closely with several other Bible teaching churches from several denominations. These times of joint ministry with other area churches have been a blessing to us and, we hope, a great testimony to our community of the love of Christ within us.

As a church it is our intent to:
     • Maintain a balanced ministry and outreach to all age groups
     • Provide a worship style that is a blend of the traditional and contemporary
     • Live in accountability to one another while enjoying our liberty in Christ
     • Be more committed to people than programs and events
     • Meet legitimate needs both within the church and within the community
     • Impact our community with the love of God and the good news of Jesus Christ

In the late 1890's a small Sunday School ministry was established on the corner of Burkhart and Marr roads. The Sunday School met in a one room school house that was situated in the same place as the current church building. For over 60 years this Sunday School ministered to the residents of the "Marr Community" as it was known at that time. As a result of the vision, commitment, and prayer of several people, Marr Community Bible Church was officially incorporated as an independent Bible teaching church in 1958. Ministry to the community continues to be the central focus of the church today.
