About Northwest Bible Church

We believe God has planted us at the corner of Northwest Highway and the Dallas Tollway in order to invite people into the unexpected joy of desperate dependence on Jesus.

We know that our brokenness, personally and corporately, are God’s workshop for life change. As we experience the grace of Jesus, we will be transformed by His love and be able to live differently with others. We recognize God is over all of us, so together we value:|

God's truth over our opinion.
God's people over our programs.
God's healing over our hiding.
God's mission over our comfort.

We live out these values by gathering together for WORSHIP, participating in GROUPS, and using our gifts to SERVE the Lord.

As a community, we expectantly anticipate that as we follow God’s leading, we will each see clear evidence of His work. Things will change. Growth will take place. Lives will be restored. To keep our focus on Jesus, we ask each other these core questions:

Who are you inviting into conversations about Jesus?
Where are you desperately dependent on Jesus?
When have you taken a risk because of Jesus?
How are you experiencing “unexpected joy” from Jesus?
