In 1962, while serving in the US Air Force, SSgt. Lonnie Green and wife, Doris Green, were sent to Laughlin AFB in Del Rio, TX. Little did they know that a faithful woman, Sis. Viola Fay, had been earnestly praying that a holiness church would be established in her town. The Greens left Del Rio in 1964 with orders to travel oversees. While on assignment in Instabul, Turkey, Bro. Green heard the voice of God and accepted his call to the ministry. Again the family received orders to return to Del Rio, Texas. Sis. Green and her children arrived in September of 1968, and began having service with Mother Fay and her family in the Fay's home. The fellowship began to grow and they joined with the United Pentecostal Church and worked faithfully there.
The following year in February, Bro. Green returned to Del Rio ,and the small band of saints, mainly children, began having service in the Green's home. Sis. Green and Mother Fay walked the streets of Del Rio looking for a church building. They found a small building on the church's present site and on September 20, 1970, Bro. Green was appointed Pastor. The church was officially dedicated in February 1971.Since then, we continue to share the Word of God , and pray that God will continue to use our congregation.
At Bible Way Church, we have a simple hope: to see people come to know Jesus Christ and grow in their Christian faith. During the service, you'll hear our faith expressed in the songs we sing, prayers we offer up and our pastor's preaching. All parts of our service are grounded in the Bible, which we are committed to upholding.
No matter what your Christian background is or isn't, we hope you will join us.
Here at BWC, we welcome everyone--including you!
