Welcome to
the website for Copperfield Bible Church. It is no accident that you
have found us: we believe that you were led by the Lord to this site
for a purpose. Please take a few minutes and look through our website.
I think that you will be challenged in what you find.
Copperfield
Bible Church is an independent, non-denominational body of believers
with a common love for Jesus Christ, His people, and His Word. We are
located in Northwest Houston, close to Hwy 6 on 529. Our purpose is to
glorify God through the preaching and application of the Bible which
will bring men to faith and maturity in Jesus Christ.
As our
name implies, the Bible is our sole guide for faith and practice. We
believe in the doctrines of Christianity as taught in Scripture, most
importantly as they relate to the nature of God, the person and work of
Jesus Christ, and salvation through Him. We encourage you to visit us
and to see our church for yourself. We would love to meet you in person!
What
makes CBC different? First, we focus on the glory of God. We take God's
Word seriously. Throughout the Scriptures, God's glory was a symbol of
His presence. Here at CBC, we believe that God, although invisible, is
present when we obey His written Word. Second, we focus on expository
preaching during the worship hour. Just like any chapter of any book,
you start at the beginning and work your way to the end. This allows
the reader to see principles in context. Third, we focus on the
Biblical form of church government. Throughout the New Testament, a
plurality of leaders is set forth as the example. The terms "elder",
"shepherd", "bishop", "overseer", and "pastor" are interchangeable,
referring to the same office as described in 1 Timothy 3:1-7 and Titus 1:5-9.
If you have further questions regarding this, please see my sermon
series on elders (see the Document Library, then scroll down to
Biblical Eldership). Elders are the primary spiritual leaders and
shepherds in the church. Deacons are servants of the church body,
taking care of the physical, tangible needs of the congregation.
I
would encourage you to browse our website. If you have further
questions for me, please feel free to contact the church office during
normal business hours or contact Pastor McAteer via email.
