The following are resources that have been helpful to us as individuals and as a church collectively. While we cannot endorse every article or sermon from these ministries, we do share many things in common. We worship and proclaim a God who is sovereign. We strive for health in the local church, a supernatural community made through the gospel of Jesus Christ. We believe in unity centered around the gospel of Christ and the teachings of Scripture.
9Marks Ministries was founded by Mark Dever at Capitol Hill Baptist Church. What do they do? “At 9Marks, we write books, articles, and book reviews. We host conferences, record interviews, and consult with church leaders. In short, we do everything we can to help pastors, future pastors, and church members see what a biblical church looks like, and to take practical steps for becoming one.”
Desiring God was founded by John Piper. “God is most glorified in us, when we are most satisfied in him — desiringGod.org exists to help people everywhere understand and embrace this truth. We aim to make the glory of God and the goodness of joy the foundation and flavor of everything we do.”
Grace to You was founded by John MacArthur. It provides access to his teaching through thousands of sermons and dozens of books.
“I’ll Be Honest is a media ministry that is part of Grace Community Church of San Antonio, TX (gccsatx.com). We are seeking to publish Biblical Christian Videos on the Gospel of Jesus Christ.”
The Ezra Institute was founded by Joe Boot. “The Ezra Institute is a confessional evangelical think-tank and worldview training organization established in 2009. Our purpose is the preservation and advancement of the truth, freedom and beauty of the gospel of Jesus Christ, for the renewal of all life and culture.”
“Reformed Baptist Seminary (RBS) exists to help churches train men who aspire to gospel ministry, as well as to provide further training for men who are already engaged in gospel ministry. Secondarily, as an extension of the local church’s teaching ministry, the seminary also provides further instruction for laypeople who desire to enhance their understanding of Scripture.”
End Abortion Now was founded Apologia Church. “End Abortion Now began as a local outreach ministry of Apologia Church in Arizona. It is the result of Christians who began to realize they could do more to impact the area of abortion than merely voting “Pro-Life.” They commenced ministering at their local abortion clinics, proclaiming the Gospel to men and women, as well as offering to serve abortion-bound mothers as they plead for life from the public sidewalks.”
Founders Ministry was founded by Tom Ascol. “Founders Ministries is committed to encouraging the recovery of the gospel and the biblical reformation of local churches. [They] believe that the biblical faith is inherently doctrinal, and [they] are therefore confessional in our convictions. [They] recognize the time-tested Second London Baptist Confession of Faith (1689) as a faithful summary of important biblical teachings and the abstract of that confession known as the Abstract of Principles.“
