Statement Of Faith

The Bible is the inspired Word of God, therefore it is an infallible, authoritative, eternal Word of God. (2 Tim 2:15, 3:16-17; Heb 4:12; 2 Peter 1:21, Isaiah 40:8, Psalm 119;89, 160).

There is one Triune God, eternally existent as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (Matthew 28:19, Mark 1:9-11, John 5:18, 23, 10:29-30, Psalm 139:7, 1 Cor 2:20, Hebrews 1:5-12, Hebrews 9:14, Psalms 102:25, 2 Cor 13:14

The deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, His sinless life, His vicarious and atoning death, His bodily resurrection, His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and His personal return in power and glory. (John 1:1-5; 20:28, Col 1:15-17, Mat 1:22-23, 3:16-17, 2 Cor 5:21, Rom 3:25, Mat 28:5-7, 1 Cor 15:3-8, Acts 1:9-11, 2:32, Rom 8:34, Eph 4:8-10, Heb 1:2-3, 1 Thess 4:16-18).

That for the salvation of lost and sinful man, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential. Salvation is by faith alone through grace alone, both justification and sanctification are the works of the Holy Spirit in those who trust in Jesus. ( Gal 3:2-3, John 3:5-6, 15:8, Titus 3:5-6, Eph 2:8).

The present ministry of the Holy Spirit, by whose indwelling, the Christian is enabled to live a godly life.

Our History

In 1956, a small group of people who were led to gather by God, began to meet regularly for worship and to study God’s word at the women’s club house here in Dinuba. This group of people continued to gather but moved to a rented church building on the corner of H and Fresno street. Later that year, Rev. Gene Sasser, the pastor, and three property owners signed a bank note for $6,000 to purchase the property where the church is now located. From that small bible study group is what led to birth what we now know as Evangel Bible Church.
