Our Story

Chesaw Community Bible Church has been a beacon of faith in the Chesaw area of Washington. Founded on the principles of biblical truth and community outreach, our small country church has remained steadfast in its commitment to proclaiming the gospel of Jesus Christ and serving our community with love and compassion.

Partnering with Village Missions, we have grown into a welcoming congregation that embraces all who seek to know God and grow in their faith. Our church family is united in worship, devoted to prayer, and committed to making disciples and serving our neighbors.

Today, we continue to honor our heritage while looking forward to the future God has in store for us. We invite you to become part of our story and discover how God is working in and through Chesaw Community Bible Church.

Our Mission

To glorify God by making disciples of Jesus Christ through worship, biblical teaching, fellowship, and service. In partnership with Village Missions, we are committed to reaching the lost, teaching the saved, and serving our community with the love of Christ.

Our Vision

To be a Christ-centered church that transforms lives and impacts our community through the power of the gospel. We envision a growing congregation of passionate believers who live out their faith authentically and serve others in Jesus' name.

Pastors

"Our heart and desire are to connect the transforming power of God as we link lives through the fellowship of Jesus Christ."

Cheri and I have been in the ministry for over 21 years. I served as Associate Pastor in a church plant in Texas. We were then called to plant and build a church in Alaska, where I served as a bi-vocational pastor for 15 years.

After we retired, some Village Missionary friends remarked that Village Missions would be a great fit for us! They knew we had developed a heart for rural churches. Their words were a definite nudge from God and ignited our desire to serve in rural America where many churches can't find pastors to preach the Word and love the people. As we learned and prayed about Village Missions, we felt led to partner with them.

Cheri and I have been married for 27 years and raised four sons and one daughter.

We are ready to pursue helping rural churches thrive. Will you join us through encouragement, prayer and financial partnership?

What We Believe

The Bible

We believe the Bible is the inspired, inerrant, and authoritative Word of God, sufficient for all matters of faith and practice.

The Trinity

We believe in one God eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, equal in power and glory.

Salvation

We believe that salvation is by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone. It is a free gift of God, not earned by human works.

The Church

We believe the church is the body of Christ, called to worship God, edify believers, and proclaim the gospel to all nations.

Baptism & Lord's Supper

We practice believer's baptism as an outward expression of inward faith, and we regularly observe the Lord's Supper in remembrance of Christ's sacrifice.

The Great Commission

We believe all Christians are called to share the gospel and make disciples, fulfilling Christ's command to go into all the world with the good news.
