Veritas Singles Fellowship Event
Singleness in our modern age looks drastically different from years past. With the likes of social media and online dating, christian singles are heavily influenced by the world. Our goal is to provide sound biblical teaching to build up the singles in our communities and help singles be devoted to Christ and to have biblical perspectives when looking for a spouse.
Join us for our first Veritas Singles Fellowship where we will enjoy teaching from Pastor Gabe with Redeemer Church in Bellevue, table discussions, and food together. It will be a great night of encouragement and fellowship with other believers from various like-minded churches in our region!

RSVP and sign up for the Pie Contest!
Game Night!

Post Tenebras Lux Conference
Screwtape and his nephew Wormwood have been busy at work these many decades since the Enlightenment. For a rather long season they have enjoyed a great deal of freedom of movement, casting their dark spell upon the world. They have been busy inventing lies about the origin of the cosmos and the creatures who live there, undermining the sufficiency of Scripture through their so-called “Higher Criticism,” sowing seeds of discontent and envy, spinning their revisionist history, all in an effort to suppress the truth in unrighteousness.
Universities, Seminaries, and Churches, whose original aim was to exuberantly proclaim “Joy to the World, the Lord has come, let earth receive her King” and to instruct her pupils in how to take every thought captive to Christ, instead have been lulled to sleep by generations of instruction in the dark art of ingratitude, Cultural Marxism, Critical Theory, and the sacrificing of babies on the altar of personal peace and affluence. Instead of rejoicing in thanksgiving for the good gifts that God has bestowed upon His children, we were taught to despise our “privilege” by calling evil, good, and good, evil.
But the Lord, in His kindness has been gracious to preserve a remnant of Saints, faithfully plodding, daily donning their armor, and wielding the Sword of the Spirit in the fighting back of darkness. Their prayers have not returned void. The veil is being lifted as the Spirit has been at work these last several years, effectively breaking the spell of these cowardly tongues. So-called Shepherds who once enjoyed the cover of esteem and respectability among the sheep, have now been revealed to be jackals and blind guides in shepherd’s clothing. The warning cries have gone out, and the beacons have been lit. Faithful torch bearers are igniting the beacons along mountain and hilltops, along the sea coasts and byways across the land. Word of the loosening power of the spell of darkness has begun to spread quickly, signaling the Saints to once more pick up the Banner of Truth. A loud shout goes forth from the frontlines, “Post Tenebras Lux!” After the darkness, light.”
Reformation Night!
As part of the Protestant faith tradition, Veritas Bible Church is part of a 500+ year history of celebrating the Reformation led by figures such as Martin Luther, John Calvin, John Knox, and others. During this time we recognize the significance of what it meant for the church in those days to get back to the purity of the gospel, the sufficiency of scripture, and a reforming of christian worship. In accordance with that idea, Reformation Night is an opportunity for the elders of VBC to share convictions and reasoning behind things that either are in the process of change or need to be reformed in the worship and life of the church to better reflect a faithfulness to God’s Holy word. This will hopefully become a regular annual endeavor where we challenge each other to not take aspects of worship and christian living for granted but examine our doctrine and practice to be in line with the Scriptures (1 Tim. 4:16).
For our first night, we will be examining the ideas of Confessionalism and Congregational Singing. What are these practices exactly and why should we pursue them as a church body? The elders will share specific and detailed reasoning behind these practices and their convictions as well as provide a thorough Q&A time for deeper dialogue.

Women's Seminar | "Friendship and the Christian"
Friendship is oftentimes a complicated subject. It can foster the greatest joys a person can experience in this life and at the same time be the subject of great sorrow due to its breakdown resulting from sin. But, as Christians, we believe in the sufficiency of God's word regarding life and practice- which includes the topic of "friendship". This seminar is aimed at better understanding how the Scriptures define friendship and what we are called to in order to cultivate friendships in our lives.

Membership Sunday
As Veritas Bible Church, we value covenant membership as an expression of being the body of Christ in the South King County area. Our God is a Covenant-keeping God, which is why the fundamental institutions that have been created by God himself, of marriage and family, are covenantal relationships by their very nature. The Church is God's household and family. This is why local church membership is a covenant reality. Membership is extremely important when it comes to living out the imperatives of Scripture as the household of God- loving and serving others, submitting to overseers/ elders, gathering with the church for worship on the Lord's day, and partaking of the ordinance of communion to list a few. Membership Day is an opportunity to learn more about the 'what' and 'why' of church membership and understand the responsibilities and duties of being a member of the local church.
