Who We Are

Providence Baptist Church is a new church plant located in Bixby, OK. The church started in the summer of 2017 with a desire to be Christ-centered, theologically grounded, and missions minded. 

 

We are Baptist. 

We believe in baptism by immersion, the priesthood of the believer, religious freedom, baptism and the Lord's Supper as being symbolic in nature, regenerate church membership, the autonomy of the local church, the Lordship of Christ, and the Bible as our sole authority for life and practice. We also as Baptist believe that the Protestant Reformation was a real recovery of the Biblical truth concerning salvation and the role of the Scriptures in the life of the believer and the Church. We also firmly embrace the 5 Solas of the Protestant Reformation: Scripture Alone, Faith Alone, Grace Alone, Christ Alone, The Glory of God Alone.

STATEMENT ON SOCIAL JUSTICE & MARXISM

We denounce the false gospel (Galatians 1:6-10) that is being promoted today within Christianity known as Social Justice. We also reject those ideologies associated with the social justice movement, which are referred to as: Marxism, liberation theology, progressivism (so called), critical race theory, white privilege, white guilt, intersectionality, violence, reparations, and homosexuality. ​These destructive heresies (2 Peter 2:1) are contrary to Scripture, they undermine the true gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ, and are contrary to how to how a Christian should act and believe based on the Bible. 

​

We also affirm: The Statement on Social Justice & the Gospel | For The Sake of Christ & His Church
