Where the Body Serves Together

Ministries Built on the Word

We labor through Scripture until the character of Christ is unmistakably visible in every member. These are the places that happens.

Three Streams. One Body.

Where Ministry Flows

Every ministry at Broken Barriers flows into one of three streams. They are not separate departments — they are how the one body of Christ moves together.

Singing, Scripture, prayer, preaching, and the table — together, week after week, until He comes.', '— Hebrews 10:25'], ['assets/min-6.jpg', 'STREAM II', 'Discipling Word', 'Studies, small groups, family worship, counseling — every place where the Word of God works the character of Christ into a believer.', '— Colossians 1:28'], ['assets/min-7.jpg', 'STREAM III', 'Sent Mission', 'Outreach to our neighbors, support for missionaries, benevolence to the hurting, and church planting wherever Christ leads.', '— Matthew 28:19'], ].map(([img, tag, title, body, ref]) => (

Men of the Word

Of all the ways we labor to build the body, none multiplies faster than men formed by the Word.

Men in the Word
A Monthly Gathering

Iron Sharpening Iron

One Saturday a month, our men gather at 8:00 AM for prayer, breakfast, and a focused study in Scripture — usually walking through a single biblical book over a year. It is not a program. It is brothers being formed together.

Four Steps to Get Involved

You don’t need to be a member to serve. You don’t need a special calling. You need a willing heart and a place to plug in.

Serving Starts With Showing Up

You don’t need a title or a résumé — just a willing heart. Ask us where the need is, or come Sunday and see the body at work for yourself.

A Pulpit Philosophy

Why We Preach the Way We Do

Three convictions about Scripture that shape every Sunday — and three convictions worth recovering in our generation.

I.
Open Bible

Expository, Not Editorial

The text drives the sermon. We do not start with a topic and search for verses to defend it — we start with a passage and let it say what God wrote it to say.

— Nehemiah 8:8
II.
Sharing the Word

Books, Not Highlights

We preach whole books of the Bible, in order — including the hard parts. The Holy Spirit chose every word and arranged every chapter. We follow His lead, not our preferences.

— 2 Timothy 3:16
III.
Worship under preaching

Christ in Every Text

The whole Bible points to Jesus. Old Testament shadows, New Testament shouts. We are not done with a passage until we have seen the One it was written to magnify.

— Luke 24:27
