Unapologetic Preaching
Proclaiming the authority of God’s Word without apology. (II Timothy 4:1-5; Hebrews 4:12)
Our Mission
We exist to glorify God by making, maturing, and multiplying disciples who are learning to live and love like Jesus.
Our mission is unashamedly unoriginal. That's because it did not originate with us. Jesus assigned the mission for His church a little over 2,000 years ago.
THE GREAT CAUSE
To him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen.
EPHESIANS 3:21
THE GREAT COMMISSION
Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.
MATTHEW 28:19-20
THE GREAT COMMANDMENT
You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. 38 This is the great and first commandment. And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself.
MATTHEW 22:37-39
Our Beliefs
One of the most important things about who we are as a church is our doctrine. God has spoken through the inspired Scriptures—so we read, we study, we teach, we believe, and we seek to live by all that he has revealed.
STATEMENTS OF FAITH
Our Leadership
Our pastors oversee the doctrine, direction, and discipleship of Keystone Bible Church. While each pastor attends and gives unique shepherding care to his local shepherding group, the pastoral team collectively leads and gives oversight for Keystone Bible Church as a whole.
MEET THE TEAMOur Locations
Keystone Bible Church is a multi-congregational church that gathers in the two locations of Odessa and Wesley Chapel. At both locations you'll find on-site, live preaching and worship, as well as full programming for your children.
Our Symbol
Our symbol is known as the Jerusalem Cross. It consists of a large central cross surrounded by four smaller crosses, a design that has been associated with the Christian faith since the early centuries of the church.
Historically, the Jerusalem Cross has been used to represent the spread of the gospel from Jerusalem to the ends of the earth. The four smaller crosses remind us of the four Gospels—Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John—through which we come to know the life, teachings, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. At the center stands the larger cross, pointing us to Christ Himself, the message and meaning of all Scripture.
The placement of the crosses also reflects the Great Commission—Christ's call for His church to take the gospel to all nations. From Jerusalem outward, the good news of Jesus was carried to every corner of the world, and that mission continues today. We believe the church exists not only to gather around the cross, but to be sent from it.
We've chosen the Jerusalem Cross because it reflects who we are and what we're called to do: a church centered on Christ, grounded in the gospel, and committed to making disciples everywhere God sends us. At Keystone, everything begins with Jesus—and everything moves outward on mission for His glory.
Our Five Pillars
We're unwavering in our commitment to these five pillars. They give shape and substance to everything we do.
Unashamed Adoration
Lifting high the name of Jesus Christ in worship. (Mark 12:30; John 4:23-24, John 12:32)
Unceasing Prayer
Believing in the power of prayer. (Jeremiah 33:3; Ephesians 6:18; James 5:16)
Uncommon Community
Prioritizing relationships within our local church family. (1 Corinthians 1:10; 1 John 1:7; Colossians 3:13; Romans 12:5-16)
Unafraid Witness
Boldly sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ. (Matthew 9:36-38; Romans 1:16; Ephesians 6:19-20)
Our plan to make, mature, and multiply disciples
At Keystone, our plan to make, mature, and multiply disciples is centered on what we call the Four Rooms. These are the four rhythms of discipleship that we believe are taught in Scripture and have been practiced by the church since the very beginning in Acts 2. Together, they form our discipleship pathway.
We believe every Christian is called to be one and make one. In every season of life, every Christian should have a good answer to two simple but important questions: Who is discipling you? and, Who are you discipling?
Our Four Rooms
At Keystone, the "rooms" where that discipleship takes place in another's lives are the Four Rooms:
We Worship in Services
Gathering together to exalt Christ and sit under the preaching of God’s Word.
We Live in Groups
Growing in community, care, accountability, and gospel-centered relationships.
We Grow in Studies
Being shaped and grounded in Scripture through intentional learning and spiritual formation.
We Serve on Teams
Living on mission by using our gifts to serve the church and reach others with the gospel.
These Four Rooms are not steps to complete but rhythms to embrace. Together, they help us grow upward in worship, inward in maturity, and outward on mission—so that we might faithfully make, mature, and multiply disciples for the glory of God.
