About Us

We began as a ministry of Lyndon Baptist Church in 1971. We became a mission in 1987. In 1992 we constituted and became incorporated as a church. From 1992 to 1997 we rented facilities from Bethlehem Baptist Church on Preston Highway. In 1997 we moved and now rent facilities from Deer Park Baptist Church. We are a separate, autonomous, indpendent, self-supported church. We do not belong to Deer Park Baptist Church - we are partners in ministry!

In August 1992, Rev. Timothy L. Bender came to serve as our pastor. He is a graduate of Golden Gate Baptist Theological Seminary. Bro. Tim and his wife, Lindy, have over 30 years of deaf ministry experience. In October 2004, Rev. J. Stephen Newell, Jr. came to be our associate pastor. Bro. Stephen is director of our counseling center and a May 2006 graduate from The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. He married Tricia Hoard in June 2006.

The Bible is God's Word. It is correct. It is the only rule for our faith and everyday life. It does not fail.

God is the one true God. He has always lived in three equal persons: the Father, Jesus His Son, and the Holy Spirit.

God loves all people. He wants all people to be right with Him, but our sins block the way.

All people have sinned. If our sins are not forgiven, God will judge us. Punishment in Hell will never stop.

Jesus Christ died on the cross to pay for our sins. His blood has power to take all our sin and guilt. Nothing else works.

The only way people can go to Heaven and live with God is through personal faith in Jesus Christ. Anyone who trusts in Jesus as Savior is "born-again" into God's family forever.

God's Holy Spirit guides and gives power to His children, called Christians or believers. He holds us safe forever. Nothing can make us lose our salvation.

Jesus Christ will come again. All people who love and serve Him will live with Him in Heaven forever.
