| WBF History |
Warrenton Bible Fellowship (WBF) began as a home
Bible study in 1979 at the home of Guy and Leslie Farley.
After experiencing steady growth over a number of years
and meeting in a variety of schools and other meeting
places, WBF moved into its current location in the center
of Warrenton. The building, originally erected in 1912
and serving as a Methodist Church until 1985, was
purchased in 1991 with the attached townhouse acquired
in 1997.
WBF became part of the Evangelical Free Church of
America (EFCA) in 2003. The EFCA is an organization of
autonomous churches and provides many of the
resources of a denomination without the top-heavy
structure many denominational organizations have. The
EFCA is a growing association with over 1700 churches in
the USA and roots that go back as far as 200 years.
WBF has seen significant growth over the last five years.
Convinced we are led by God to remain in our current
location, we have determined to resolve our limited space
dilemma by multiplying ourselves. We feel our current
charge is to equip and strengthen the Body of Christ to do
the work of expanding the kingdom of God. In that light,
we planted our first church, Hope Christian Fellowship, in
2005. More recently, we have had the blessing of
welcoming a Spanish speaking congregation, Mission
Christian Emmanuel, into our facility on Sunday
afternoons at 4:00 PM. We are energized and excited
about working alongside these new friends to help them
grow in the Lord and reach out into our community.
WBF has grown and evolved over the years from a small
church in an equally small and remote, farming community
into an increasingly diverse and growing church in a
bustling and rapidly growing commuter community. We
are dedicated and committed to the preaching of God's
Word, the authority of the Scriptures and to reaching out
into the area around us to see Jesus lifted up as people
from every segment of our community are drawn to Him.
