Bigelow Church

Bigelow Church is committed to the preaching and teaching of God's Word. We are, equally, committed to making mature disciples under our care, and in helping them use their gifts and abilities to build up the body of Christ. In all that we do, we seek to glorify God and enjoy Him. To this end, we have committed ourselves to becoming a healthy church based on biblical principles (for details, see www.9Marks.org). Our website is designed to answer most common questions quickly, but we encourage you to visit or contact us if you wish to know more.

We hope to see you soon.

Making Sense of Christianity

There is much confusion today about what it means to be a Christian. Many believe themselves to be Christian by virtue of their birth in America. But is that all there is to it? The Bible alone provides the clear explanation as to what it means to be a Christian. This is the message we wish to share with you. For excellent information on this topic, please view the online presentation 2 Ways To Live. If you still have questions or would like to talk, then please email Pastor Steve. God bless you in your search for the truth.

Invitation to Bigelow

Welcome to Bigelowchurch.org!

Thank you for checking us out! As you consider us for your church home, we'd like you to know a little about us.

The church is not a building or programs; it is a people who are devoted to following Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord. As such the church is instructed to "speak the truth in love" because others will know we are Christ's followers "if we love one another" (Ephesians 4:15; John 13:35).

So we want to do both. We strive to live by the truth as it is found in Jesus and His word, the Bible (and yes, we still believe in truth!). As we do this, we want to do so with hearts full of the love of God pouring out in love for others.

We believe that basic Biblical truths were "re-discovered" in the 16th century, a time known as "The Reformation" in the church's history. Foundational among these truths are the following:

Scripture alone is our authority in life
By grace alone we are rescued from our sin and death
By faith alone we receive the gift of eternal life in Jesus Christ
In Christ alone we find the righteousness we need
to stand before the Holy God
To God alone be the glory for these things!

For from him and through him and to him are all things.
To him alone be the glory. Amen.
Romans 11:36

Thus we at Bigelow Church extend a warm and loving invitation to you to come worship and serve God-in Christ with us. We are right on the corner of 5th and Washington Streets in downtown Portsmouth. We look forward to meeting you.
