SUNDAY SCHOOL

From a humble beginning over 200 years ago, Sunday school has grown to become
one of the major sources of Christian Education today. The Sunday school movement traces
its beginning back to Gloucester, England. There, in 1780, a young printer named Robert Raikes,
became concerned for the boys of his neighborhood and their lack of education.
Because Sunday was the only day when the boys were not working in the local
factories, Raikes gathered them on that day to teach them "the three-R's" and the Bible.
The idea of Sunday school quickly caught on and grew rapidly in America.

In 1788 John Wesley wrote to a friend, "I verily think these Sunday Schools are one of the noblest
specimens of charity which have been set on foot in England since William the Conqueror."

At Bible Baptist Church our Sunday School is based on God’s book, the King James Bible.
The classes start in the book of Genesis, and nearly four years later end in the book of Revelation.
Every class, from 3-4 year olds to the adult class, has the same Bible portion as the lesson text on any Sunday.
This makes for all of the family having common themes to discuss, even though they may have been
in different classes.

Classes for every grade level with competent teachers who not only know the Word of God,
but the God of the Word as well. We would be pleased for you to make Bible Baptist Sunday School
part of your family’s Sunday. Join us beginning at 10 A.M. every Sunday, and find out for yourself.

“Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly
dividing the word of truth.” II Timothy 2:15

BUS MINISTRY

Since the beginning, in the early seventies, Bible Baptist Church has had a bus ministry. The purpose is,
and has always been, to reach out into the surrounding community and bring children (and adults) in
to hear the good news message that Jesus died on an old rugged cross, was buried in a borrowed tomb,
and rose victorious over death the third day to purchase our redemption and secure us
a home with Him in glory.

We are currently running three bus routes in Linda, Marysville, and Olivehurst. Lord willing, in the near future,
we will have bus transportation to and from Beale AFB and Yuba City.

If you have children or are in need of transportation yourself, and would like a ride to and from church,
please do not hesitate to call us at 742-2495 and leave a message. We will have someone
contact you and make arrangements to pick you up.

It is our desire to serve you as we serve Christ!

"...Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled."
Luke 14:23b

CARE HOME MINISTRY

It is our desire that every outreach of Bible Baptist Church be a blessing and a Godly testimony
for all those to whom we minister. It is also a tremendous opportunity for those
whom God has called to get "into the ministry" and "exercise the gifts" with which
God has blessed them, and be a blessing to others.

                                        We presently minister in seven facilities in the Marysville / Yuba City area on a monthly basis.

                                                         · First Sunday at 2 p.m. ~ Prestige in Msvl./Sunrise Gardens in Msvl.
                                                         · Second Sunday at 2 p.m. ~ Prestige in Msvl./Sunbridge in Msvl./Courtyard in Y. C.
                                                 Second Monday at 7 p.m. ~ Fountains in Y. C.
                                                         · Third Sunday at 2 p.m. ~ Prestige in Msvl./Emmanuel in Y. C.
                                                         · Fourth Sunday at 2 p.m. ~ Prestige in Msvl./Sunbridge in Y. C./Courtyard in Y. C.
                                                         · Fifth Sunday at 2 p.m. ~ Fountains in Y. C.

We sing hymns, preach and give an invitation at each service. While the preaching service
is going on, other workers visit from room to room, passing out tracts and witnessing to those
in sick beds who need to know that God still loves them. It is imperative that these dear folks
are reached with the Gospel. Just sharing the Gospel in a simple, straight forward,
unadulterated manner from the Word of God, is the only way many of these will ever
receive true comfort in the trials that they now face.

Please come and join us in making a difference in someone's life for the Lord!

MUSIC MINISTRY

As with every ministry at BBC, we want our music to bring Glory and Honour to our Lord. We believe
that the priority of any New Testament church must be the PREACHING / TEACHING ministry.
However, the music should compliment the preaching ministry, and prepare the heart of the hearer
to receive the Word more readily.

The music at BBC is conservative, with a gospel impression. Our “Voices of Worship & Praise”
(adult choir) sings each Sunday morning, as well as presenting a cantata at Christmas & Easter.
We have a men’s quartet along w/ various ladies groups, and a wide variety of others.
There is really something for just about everyone’s musical taste.

We encourage young people to play and sing for church, as they are able.
Our congregational singing centers around the beloved and faithful hymns!
We love them! Occasionally, contemporary choruses are sung as well.

"O come, let us sing unto the Lord: let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation.
Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving, and make a joyful noise unto him with psalms."
Psalm 95:1-2

BIBLE BAPTIST YOUTH GROUP

The teen years can be confusing, difficult, and challenging! Through Sunday morning and
Thursday night classes, weekly outreach, monthly activities, annual trips, retreats, and programs,
the teens at Bible Baptist Church are challenged and equipped to live and grow for Christ while
they are still in their youth. Of course, the only way that we can do this is by taking heed to
the word of God as it says in Psalms 119:9-11:

"Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto according to thy word.
With my whole heart have I sought thee: O let me not wander from thy commandments.
Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.”

...and in I Timothy 4:12:

“Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation,
in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity.”

It is through God’s power, His word, and much prayer that we provide the Bible based wisdom
that teens need, combined with the fun, friendly atmosphere that teens enjoy!
Each year, the teens can look forward to camps, trips, community outreach, fun activities,
and many other opportunities to exercise and live out their faith. Although these years are some
of the most difficult and challenging, teens can have the victory through our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
A life lived for God can be fun and exciting!

SENIOR SAINTS

Bible Baptist Church has always been a church that is about the whole community. In addition
to ministering to children and young adults, we also have a very active senior citizens group that
meets regularly for meals, fellowship, activities and challenging bible studies. As busy as we all can
become, we never want to lose sight of those who have blazed the trails, set the standards, shined
the light and held the testimony of the Lord Jesus Christ high for all to see. Our goal is to never
lose the desire to know Him better... to motivate and encourage one another to
strive to become all that God has designed us to be, no matter what our age.

Now also when I am old and grayheaded, O God, forsake me not; until I have shewed thy strength
unto this generation, and thy power to every one that is to come.
Psalm 71:18

MEDIA MINISTRY

The Media Ministry of Bible Baptist Church is designed to compliment the overall
outreach of our church in every area. We currently record all of our services on video and audiotape
as well as provide remote feeds to two on-site viewing rooms, one for nursing mothers and another
for developmentally disabled. In addition, we provide visual support for the main auditorium
in the way of powerpoint slides for singing, scripture readings and coming events.

"The Lord gave the word: great was the company of those that published it."
Psalm 68:11

In this digital age, publishing is much more than just what we used to see on the printed page.
We are endevouring to make the preaching and teaching of the Word of God available
in as many forms as is currently possible and we could use your help. If you
have a natural interest in the technical side of things and a love for
the Lord and are willing to die to self, let us know.

RESCUE MISSION MINISTRY

The Lord has blessed our church with 2 opportunities of preach at the local rescue mission in Marysville.
We previously have had only one night each month to preach. This is the present schedule:

· Second Saturday of each month at 7:30 p.m.
· Fourth Sunday of each month at 7:30 p.m.

If you would be at all interested in coming and serving in this area of ministry with us,
please contact Brother Rick Verga. It is our hope that God would be able to use you in this ministry.
There is a definite need for good Gospel preaching in this area. The perfect, preserved truth from the
Word of God, preached without apology and in love, can certainly meet the needs in any life.
For those who have reached a place in their lives where the only move left to make is up,
we want to be there for them to point the way. No one in this world is of such little
value that they can just be thrown away. After all, the Apostle Paul wrote in I Timothy 1:15...

"This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus
came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief."

This is a great chance to help those who, in most cases, need it most. Will you let God use you in this area?

MISSIONS PROGRAM

"Therefore said he unto them, The harvest truly is great, but the labourers are few:
pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth labourers into his harvest."
Luke 10:2

One's view of missions is often shaped by descriptive words such as "far-away places,"
"foreign," or "sacrifice." The key word usually associated with missions is "go." Jesus declared
to His disciples in Matthew 28:19, "Go ye therefore, and teach all nations..."
At Bible Baptist Church, the focus is summed up in the word "send." Paul reminded believers
in the Epistle to the Romans, chapter 10, verse 15, "And how shall they preach,
except they be sent?" Of course, Jesus is right when He commands us to "go,"
but the task is most fully seen in the group-centered word, "send."
Missions is not an individual endeavor but a team effort - the response
of the church to His heart for the world.

Our privilege of sending missionaries demands fervent prayer, personal contact,
and financial support. Our vision is that we are part of missions whether we "send" or "go."
God has called many of our missionaries to distant lands, while our Lord has called
each born-again child of God to minister in the place where he is. What a privilege it is
to be partners with 40 ministries on 6 continents.

"Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth labourers into his harvest."

"Some go,… some stay and give and pray that others may go…"
