WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT
We Worship Together as Families
We have no separate programs during worship. We believe Scripture is sufficient for teaching all ages where Christ is the focus. Families worship together, grow together.
The Whole Bible
We are intentional about being faithful to the entire Bible. We will not neglect any part or unduly elevate any part over the rest. Both Old and New Testaments shape our teaching.
The Whole Family of God
We don’t have a key demographic. Entire households worship together. Male and female, young and old, married and single. All are valued and loved for who they are in Christ.
The Gospel in Everything
The gospel is for believers and unbelievers alike. It is the truth of first importance and deserves continual attention. We include it in everything because it changes everything.
Equipped to Serve
We seek to edify, exhort, and equip believers rather than settling for entertaining them. We encourage those who trust in Christ to deny themselves, take up their cross, and follow Him.
LATEST SERMON
The Word at Work
1 Thessalonians 2:1–16 — August 9, 2026 — Pastor Joe Kohler
In 1 Thessalonians 2:1-16, Paul defends the character of his ministry and reveals the engine behind the Thessalonians’ transformation: they received his message not as the word of men but as the Word of God. That distinction changes everything. When Scripture carries divine authority in our lives, it doesn’t leave us as it found us. It edits us. The uncomfortable but hopeful question for every believer is whether we’re letting it do its work, or quietly editing it to fit our preferences.

Weekly reflections on the sermons preached at Howell Bible Church.
Still Ringing – 1 Thessalonians 1:1–10
On February 17, 1739, George Whitefield did something controversial. He walked out of the church building and preached the gospel in the open air to a group of coal miners in Kingswood, England. These weren’t church people. They had a reputation for violence, foul language, and rough living. No minister wanted anything to do with…
Renewing Our Minds For Evangelism – Romans 12:2
Have you ever tried to change yourself through sheer willpower? Maybe you told yourself you’d be more patient with a difficult person, more disciplined in your habits, or more compassionate toward someone who rubs you the wrong way. And maybe it worked for a day or two. But willpower alone has a shelf life, and…
In God We Trust – Proverbs 3:5–6
Have you ever believed something was true without actually living like it was true? Not in a dramatic, crisis-of-faith kind of way. More like the quiet, daily kind where you affirm God’s sovereignty on Sunday and then white-knuckle your way through Monday on your own strength. Yesterday at Howell Bible Church, guest preacher Carl Hayes…
Come as You Are and Worship the Living God with Us
We understand that visiting a new church can feel uncertain. We’re a little different — no separate kids’ programs during worship, no performance, just families gathering around God’s Word together. Read more about what to expect, or just show up Sunday morning.
