As in the day of Ezra, we believe that the people of God are in need of restoration. We need our souls, our marriages, our families and our church restored. Restore the joy of the Lord to our lives and our souls are healed. Return the joy of the Lord to worship, service, study of the Word, and to the relationships in our families, and then the church will be significantly restored. In our small body, approximately 100, we are attempting to live out the high standards of God's Word with joy. We emphasize the relevance of all scripture, Old and New Testament, to the maturing of the individual to "the full measure of the stature of Christ". We believe in salvation by faith alone in Jesus Christ alone.Precept Bible Study methods are actively taught. The young hearted Seniors’ active participation provides stability, maturity and spiritual examples of encouragement. The fellowship at each Sunday night's Bible study provides a unifying and strengthening bond that we view as vital. The power of God will be demonstrated in direct relation to the prayers of His people. Sunday morning worship is an environment which encourages the participation of prayer and praise as well as during our prayer meeting on Wednesday night at 7 p.m.. Welcome to Sequim and Olympic Bible Fellowship! It's a great place to live, raise a family and serve the Lord!

Statement of Beliefs
WE BELIEVE…. .
…the Holy Scriptures, both Old and New Testaments are the verbally inspired Word of God, inerrant in the original writings, infallible and God-breathed and are the final authority for faith and life. Reference: 2 Tim. 3:16, 17:2; 2 Pet. 1:20-21; Matt. 5:18; John 16:12-13
….the Godhead exists in three persons – Father, Son and Holy Spirit. These three persons are one God having the same nature, attributes and perfections. Reference: Deut. 6:4; 2 Cor. 13:14; Ps. 90:2
….in Christ’s eternal existence as God, His incarnation and the Virgin Birth, that His death on the cross provided the substitutionary atonement for sin, in the literal bodily resurrection from the dead, that Christ is our intercessor in heaven and that He will return to the earth in the future. Reference: John 1:1-2; Luke 1:35; Rom. 3:24-25, 8:34; 1 John 2:1-2; 1Peter 2:24; Eph 1:7; Acts 1:9-10; Heb. 7:25, 9:24-25
….that the Holy Spirit, the third person of the Godhead convicts men of sin then regenerates, baptizes, indwells, seals, and sets apart believers unto a holy life, the Holy Spirit empowers believers and is the teacher of the Word of God guiding believers into all truth. Reference: John 16:8-11, 13; 2 Cor. 12:12-14; Rom. 8:9; Eph. 1:13-14, 5:18; 1 John 2:20, 27
….that man was created in God’s image and likeness, that in Adam’s sin mankind inherited a sinful nature and became alienated from God, that all mankind is corrupt in body, soul and spirit and in need of redemption and mankind is unable, on his own, to restore fellowship with God. Reference: Gen. 1:26-27; Rom. 3:22-23, 5:12; Eph. 2:1-3,12
….that salvation is a free gift of God not of works but brought to man by grace and received through personal faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, and salvation requires repentance; and true salvation will be manifested by a changed life. Reference: Eph. 2:8-10; John 1:12; Eph. 1:7; 1 Peter 1:18-19; 2 Tim. 3:1-5; 1 John 2:15-17; 2 John 9-11
….that there will be a personal, visible, bodily return of Jesus Christ to earth, there will be a bodily resurrection of the just into the eternal glory of God’s presence and there will be a bodily resurrection of the unjust to judgment and everlasting punishment in the lake of fire. Reference: Matt. 25:46; John 5:28-29, 11:25-26; Rev. 20:5-6, 11-15; Mark 9:43-48; 2 Thess. 1:7-9; Jude 6-7
