What You'll Find
At LRBC you can expect to find friendly people worshiping Jesus and interacting with one another in a casual environment. We have Sunday service at 10:00 AM that lasts about an hour and twenty minutes. Our services begin with a time of singing and prayer. We then dedicate our time to an expository study of the Bible.
Some History
In May of 1994 the American Missionary Fellowship’s area representative, Robert McDawall, came to the Seven Bays, WA area and found the need and desire for a church here. Win Self was building the community center with a vision that it would be available for church services.
Warren Damschen was approached to minister to this area and he accepted. Lake Roosevelt Bible Church was formed and provided a place for praise and worship with an emphasis on the teaching of God’s word.
The first service was held outdoors at the Seven Bays Community Park. Warren Damschen continued to pastor until January 23, 2014 when he went to be with the Lord. In January of 2015 Andrew (Drew) Johnson began to pastor the church and continued until September of 2016. In May of 2017 pastor Mark Smith and his wife Marcia took over the pastorate of Lake Roosevelt Bible Church.
Services continued to be held in the Helen Marie Community Center until December of 2017. The church moved to the Deer Meadows fire station in February of 2018 and in February of 2020 we moved into our new building.
Our Church supports a number of foreign and state side missionaries. Please see our Missions page for more information on our missionary partnerships.
Lake Roosevelt Bible Church holds to the traditional tenets of orthodox Christianity. In essence these tenets boil down to two simple responsibilities for Christians: (1) to love the Lord your God with everything you are and (2) to love your neighbor as yourself (Matthew 22:37-39).
As a church we endeavor to embody the teachings of Jesus Christ by recognizing the entire Bible as inerrant and infallible, and in turn obeying the word of God as an outworking of our faith in Christ. In keeping with this belief, we make it our goal to examine all of Scripture through the expository teaching of the Bible (2 Timothy 3:16,17).
We also identify with the orthodox teachings of Christians throughout history who have given their lives for the sake of Christ. We identify with these Christians through our common Lord, Jesus Christ.
