Plainfield Bible Church has the following purpose:

U P R E A C H

Our Responsibility to God
EXALT HIM

We believe that the chief end of man and of Christ's Church is to glorify God and to enjoy Him forever (I Peter 4:11; Ephesians 3:21).  He alone is to be praised and worshipped.  All that we do at Plainfield Bible Church is for the ultimate glory of God (I Corinthians 10:31), because He alone is worthy.

I N R E A C H

Our Responsibility to Each Other
EDIFY HIS CHURCH

We believe that the local church is the "pillar and support of truth" (I Timothy 3:15).  As such, we are committed to the faithful expository teaching of the Scriptures, "for the equipping of the saints for the work of service, to the building up of the body of Christ; until we all attain to the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a mature man, to the measure of the stature which belongs to the fullness of Christ."  (Ephesians 4:12-13).  We proclaim the excellencies of Jesus Christ (I Peter 2:9) and the "foolishness of the cross" (I Corinthians 1:18), and encourage one another to "walk in a manner worthy of the calling with which you have been called" (Ephesians 4:1).

O U T R E A C H

Our Responsibility to the World
EVANGELIZE THE LOST

We believe that the local church, as Christ's witness (Acts 1:8), is to proclaim the Name of Jesus Christ and His grace to all the nations (Matthew 28:19-20), instructing them that Christ suffered and rose again from the dead the third day, and that salvation and forgiveness of sin can be obtained by faith in Jesus Christ and by repentance from sin (Luke 24:46-48).
