Description of Organization
Founded in 1951, the Bible Church of Little Rock (BCLR) is a non-denominational church in the capital city of Arkansas. BCLR is an elder-led congregation that is known for expository preaching, God-exalting worship, discipleship in community, and dedicated shepherding. We affirm the doctrines of grace and subscribe to a Reformed soteriology. We currently have over 350 members and average around 400 attendees for Sunday morning worship. We also have Sunday morning Equipping Hour, mid-week ministries, bi-monthly evening services, and bi-monthly small groups. Our student ministry philosophy is guided by the goal to evangelize unbelievers and disciple professing believers so that they are integrated into the regular life of the church. Student ministry, in cooperation with adult and children's ministries, exists to glorify God by assisting parents in the calling of students to faith and repentance and equipping them in the service of Jesus Christ.
Church Mission Statement: The Bible Church of Little Rock exists to make disciples who make disciples by teaching biblical truth in a community of Christian love that propels our appointed mission all for the glory of God.
