BIBLE CHURCH AT ROCKBRIDGE
online resources
Recommended Resources
We believe that the local New Testament church is the primary means by which God will grow and develop believers. However, there is a plethora of supplementary resources that can help Christians in their spiritual walk. Not all of these resources completely align with the doctrinal statement of this church, but these resources have proven to be generally quite biblically solid. Believers are encouraged to "eat the meat and spit out the bone" when navigating new resources. Always run new info through a filter of scripture. We would encourage you to preview these resources and check back often as we hope to be able to expand this list over time.
"Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth."
~II Timothy 2:15
