ABOUT US

Pastor Joel Bierman

As pastor of the Bible Baptist Church, I would like to cordially invite you to any of our upcoming services. We are a newly formed church trusting in the Lord's guiding hand to lead us through these beginning stages of growth.

My wife, Ann, and I grew up in northeast Iowa where we trusted the Lord for our eternal salvation during our childhood. In 1993 the Lord allowed us to unite in marriage, and have been married now for over 30 years. The Lord has blessed us with four wonderful children, three of which are married and all four are currently serving the Lord in their respective places of residence.

In 1995, I received my Bachelor of Divinity degree from the Pensacola Bible Institute. After graduation, we moved to Minnesota, where I entered the elevator trade and worked as an elevator service technician for over 20 years. During these busy times of family life, work schedule and the ministry, I felt the Lord's hand guiding me towards ministering in Germany full-time. It's been said that the right path leads out at the right road. In 2023, that path lead us to the Stuttgart area where the Lord had already been preparing individuals to start the Bible Baptist Church. In the fall of 2023, the Lord allowed us to rent the facility that we are currently in, and were able to hold our first service on November 17th.

The path that the Lord has taken us down has been full of excitement and blessings. We have met so many wonderful people along the way that have truly enriched our lives and at the same time has caused us to push harder for the cause of Christ. We look forward to meeting and growing with you as the Lord leads.

In Christ,

Pastor Bierman

OUR MISSION

Our mission, simply put, is the Great Commission. The scriptures make it very plain that we are to glorify the Lord by doing what He has commanded us to do. One of the great commands the Lord has given us is "And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature." (Mark 16:15) Outside of our personal consecration to the Lord, reaching the lost is of the utmost importance. With the Lord's help and guidance, we strive to be a light to the lost by sowing the precious seed of the word of God.

With the responsibility to fulfill the Great Commission, comes the need to have the proper vision. The saying, "Proper preparation prevents poor performance" helps us maintain our vision. Proper preparation is the most important step in the whole process. Our mission to reach the lost starts with the vision of being properly prepared. This is established and maintained through personal growth as a Christian. If God has your heart, then He'll have your affections and desires. If He has that area all the rest will fall in place. We believe this is only accomplished through obedience to the scriptures.

OUR VISION

For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe.

1 Thessalonians 2:13
