Pastor Jarrid & Kendra Younkin

Jarrid and Kendra Younkin met and married in Indianapolis in 2001. Their ministry has taken them across the country as they’ve served in various roles, including pastor, church planter, evangelist, bible college instructor, and academic dean. Most recently, with their children, they planted a church in the Phoenix, AZ metro area. Before that assignment, Pastor Younkin served as Academic Dean and Instructor at Christian Life College in Stockton, CA, and at Gateway College of Evangelism (now Urshan College). Pastor Younkin is passionate about higher education and has earned two master’s degrees. Sis. Younkin is an accomplished singer and soul winner. Her love for people is felt by all who interact with her. 

The Younkins love God, their children, and The Bible Church! They believe in the power of the Holy Spirit to transform lives and that God is sending great revival in these last days.

Our Mission

The mission of The Bible Church is to love, grow, serve, and go.

We strive to:

  • Love God and love others

  • Grow in God as we grow together

  • Serve our community

  • Go and take the gospel to all those around us

Our Beliefs

The Bible Church is a Bible-based church. We teach and preach only what the Bible says is truth. Everything we do is from scripture. We believe and teach the following:

  • The Bible is the inspired, inerrant, and perfectly preserved Word of God. It is true in all that it teaches. As the flawless Word of God, it is our only authority for what we believe and how we live.

    (2 Tim 3.15-17)

  • There is one God, who has revealed Himself as our Father, in His Son Jesus Christ, and as the Holy Spirit. Jesus Christ is God manifested in flesh. He is both God and man.

    (Deuteronomy 6:4; Ephesians 4:4-6; Colossians 2:9; 1 Timothy 3:16)

  • Everyone has sinned and needs salvation. Salvation comes by grace through faith based on the atoning sacrifice of Jesus Christ.

    (Romans 3:23-25; 6:23; Ephesians 2:8-9)

  • The saving gospel is the good news that Jesus died for our sins, was buried, and rose again. We obey the gospel (2 Thessalonians 1:8; 1 Peter 4:17) by repentance (death to sin), water baptism in the name of Jesus Christ (burial), and receiving the gift of the Holy Spirit (resurrection).

    (1 Corinthians 15:1-4; Acts 2:4, 37-39; Romans 6:3-4)

  • As Christians, we are to love God and others. We should live a holy life inwardly and outwardly and worship God joyfully. The supernatural gifts of the Spirit, including healing, are for the church today.

    (Mark 12:28-31; 2 Corinthians 7:1; Hebrews 12:14; 1 Corinthians 12:8-10)

  • Jesus Christ is coming again to catch away His church. In the end will be the final resurrection and the final judgment. The righteous will inherit eternal life and the unrighteous eternal death.

    (1 Thessalonians 4:16-17; Revelation 20:11-15)
