Recommended Resources
Church Search
If you are searching for a Biblical church in your area, our first recommendation is that you pray. In some cases, God might unexpectedly lead you to move. In other cases, He might have you travel a greater distance than you may have anticipated. It’s also possible that within your own community there is a biblical church, or a church reforming and on it’s way to being biblical, or even that God might use you to be the catalyst for the starting of a biblical church.
Thus, you must pray and seek God’s direction for your life. If you are interested in investigating churches in a specific area, we recommend you use any or all of the following links below. However, please be aware that the simple fact of a church appearing on one of these site doesn’t guarantee that it is in fact a biblical church.

Biblical Conversion and Salvation
-
How do you know that you are saved? Sermon by Paul Washer
Local Association of Churches
We belong to the Coulee Baptist Association which consists of twelve churches in four counties. We also are in fellowship with the Northwest Baptist Convention.
Christian Books
We encourage people to make the Bible their supreme source of teaching and edification. Jesus prayed for us in this way: “Sanctify them in the truth; Your word is truth” (John 17:17). We do not recommend that people read anything more than they read the Bible itself. Everything else is to be tested in the light of God’s word (1 Thessalonians 5:21). As Charles Spurgeon once said: “Visit many good books, but live in the Bible.”
While we prioritize Scripture, and use Scripture alone as our rule of faith, we also recommend that believers spend much time reading other sound Christian books.
“Give yourself unto reading…He who will not use the thoughts of other men’s brains, proves that he has no brains of his own. You need to read.” - C.H. Spurgeon
“By all means read the Puritans, they are worth more than all the modern stuff put together.” - C.H. Spurgeon
God has gifted His people with Spirit-filled teachers who throughout the centuries have handed down countless edifying and enlightening books. Here are some of the ones that we can recommend:
