Pastor Don and Cookie were married in March of 1968 and are the proud parents of two children with three grandchildren. Pastor Don was saved in 1973 while serving in the Coast Guard in Coos Bay, Oregon. Since that time he has served in churches in Washington State, Arizona and as Pastor of the Olde Tyme Baptist Church in Calgary, Alberta. Before coming to Bible Baptist Church of Selah, he was the Associate Pastor of Yakima Bible Baptist Church. Pastor Don and Cookie would like to extend to you a personal invitation to attend one of our services and meet our fantastic people.
It's our desire to connect individuals with God and His church. Christ established the local church and it's the vehicle that He uses to fulfill His purposes in this world. This begins in the heart, with a personal relationship with Jesus. This love grows as we gather together in worship and to hear the teaching and preaching of the Bible.
We grow together through the Word and through community. Community is the fellowship we enjoy as Christians. The Word is taught in services, groups, and one-on-one. “But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen.” (2 Peter 3:18)
Jesus adds people to His church, and gifts them to serve. We desire to help every member of our church discover and use their gifts to serve others. “For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another.” Galatians 5:13
As we love Christ the way we are supposed to then it will show in our love for others. In other words, it is because of our great love for Him and our growth that leads us to serve. As we learn to love, we grow. As we grow we start serving. And as we start serving, we start sharing our faith with others around us.
