What We Believe
- We believe the Bible is the inspired Word of God. It is the basis of our ministry and is inerrant and trustworthy.
- We believe in the infinite and holy God, existing in three distinct Persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
- We believe in the virgin birth of Christ, His sinless life, His death, burial and bodily resurrection from the grave.
- We believe the Holy Spirit convicts of sin, indwells believers and empowers them for service in the local church.
- We believe man was created in the image of God, but fell from grace by sinning and is now in need of salvation in Christ.
- We believe that any person can be saved from sin through repentance and trusting in Jesus Christ as his or her personal Savior.
Pastor Rick Coursen, Senior Pastor
Pastor Coursen became a born-again believer in Christ as the age of ten in a Baptist church in Flint, Michigan in 1962. His burden for youth led him to surrender for ministry as a young person. He studied for vocational ministry at Bob Jones University in South Carolina, Maranatha Baptist Bible College in Wisconsin and Detroit Baptist Seminary. He pastored in Michigan for 21 years before coming to Sedro-Woolley in June of 2000.
His wife, Carol was saved as a young girl at Bethany Baptist Church in Grand Blanc, Michigan.
She also attended Bob Jones University and Maranatha Baptist Bible College, graduating with a Bachelor's Degree in Church Ministries. She serves in ladies' and children's ministries.
The Coursens have three children and 11 grandchildren.
