A Word from Our
Pastors
"Welcome to the Signal Mountain Bible Church web site, we're glad you found
us! You’ll find we try not to take ourselves too seriously, but we do take our
Lord very seriously. Signal Mountain Bible Church is a place of worship where
the Word of God is taught. Our goal is not mere knowledge of the Bible, but that
we may know Christ and make Him known.
"We are not a building, an institution, or a collection of programs. Signal
Mountain Bible Church is people. We are a group of ordinary people committed to
the Living Word, Jesus Christ, and to God’s Word, the Scriptures. Our desire is
to worship God, to build up the body, and to share the good news of Jesus
Christ.
"We would love the opportunity to open the Bible with you and help you
discover what it means to be a Christian. We believe God has established Signal
Mountain Bible Church for a special ministry to Signal Mountain and Chattanooga.
Come and be part of our fellowship."
