New Church In Lismore
I am really happy to let you know that a couple of friends of mine are planting a Bible believing church in Lismore, along the north coast of NSW. The team are Pastor Peter Mitchell and Brother Steve Alvarez with their respective families. They are young and gifted men with a heart to see souls saved and believers growing in Christ. Both Peter and Steve are well trained and have significant ministry experience.
They have named the new work Lismore Bible Church and you can email them by clicking here. Pete can give you all the service times and location of their meetings, etc.
Lismore is large regional city conveniently located between Coffs Harbour and Brisbane. It has its own university campus.
So if you know anymore in Lismore or in the surrounds who are looking to attend a good Bible preaching church then tell them about this new endeavour.
Planting churches is still the most Biblical and effective way of fulfilling the great commission and seeing lasting fruit from evangelism and preaching.
At the very least please pray for this new work and even consider sending an email of encouragement to the team.
Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers through whom you believed, as the Lord gave to each one? I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the increase. So then neither he who plants is anything, nor he who waters, but God who gives the increase. Now he who plants and he who waters are one, and each one will receive his own reward according to his own labor. For we are God’s fellow workers; you are God’s field, you are God’s building.1 Corinthians 3:5-9

Wow! That’s great news! Will be praying for them and this exciting new work!! :D
That’s good to hear! Great name too! :)
Hey folks no objection to “Bible” Church names…but can someone update me on what the objection is to BAPTIST Church names these days?
After all most of the Bible and I stress MOST of..maybe NOT all Bible Churches are in every way Baptistic in their Doctrines and pracises.
I know of some who say the name “BAPTIST” puts people off from attending a particular church but HELP! Please!
Lord Bless,
Geoff
Hi Geoff, I think it has something to do with:-
-the conduct and reputation of some baptist churches
-the fact that the label is not so important these days particularly in a Australia which is largely unchurched
-some people feel that as doctrine stems from the Bible then let’s call it a Bible Church not baptist church even though many Bible churches for all intents and purposes are baptistic so to speak as you point out
I can make these comments with some irony since I spent many years in a Bible church and am now pastoring in a baptist church:)
hope that helps
Yeah, I do suspect it has to do with a desire to escape the party spirit that tends to accompany the modern Independent Baptist movement. It is a move away from the historical baptist brand to a more fresh and less tainted “biblicist” brand.
For what it’s worth.
