MARTY CAMPBELLBROKEN HORN RANCH PASTOR
"We started Broken Horn Ranch Ministry in 2012. It was something that had been on our hearts since before Mandi and I were married. We wanted to use horsemanship/western events as an avenue to share the Gospel. I love it when I see someone grow in their walk with Jesus. Whether it's horseback at a roping or through our Monday night gathers, it's pretty special. I also enjoy spending time with my family, riding horses, building things, and teaching kids."

I also enjoy being a welcoming face and greeting on Sunday morning, and helping out with Youth Ministry.

THE BIBLE
We believe the Bible is the Word of God, written by human authors under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. It is without error in the original manuscripts, and as the ultimate source of truth, it has supreme and final authority in all matters. Where it speaks, we listen and obey. (2 Timothy 3:16-17; 2 Peter 1:19-21) THE TRINITY We believe there is one living and true God, perfect in holiness, wisdom, power and love, who exists eternally in three distinct persons; Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. As equals in substance, they each have unique and harmonious roles within the Godhead. Though the word “Trinity” is not found in scripture, the truth of this principle is found throughout. (Genesis 1:1-2, 26-27; Matthew 28:19; Luke 1:35; John 1:1,14; 14:7, 16:5-13; Acts 5:3-4; 2 Corinthians 13:14) GOD THE FATHER We believe that God the Father, as part of the Trinity, has limitless knowledge and creativity, sovereign power, and unsurpassed holiness. He desires a relationship with us, his creation. He is mercifully concerned in the affairs of humanity, hears and answers prayer, and saves from sin and death all who come to him through his son Jesus Christ. (John 3:16; Romans 8:15-16; Ephesians 1:1-3) JESUS CHRIST We believe that Jesus Christ was, is, and always will be God. As the only begotten Son of God the Father, he was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of a virgin, possessing a nature that was both fully human and fully divine. We believe in his miracles and teachings, and that he is the only one to have lived a sinless life. He died on the cross for our sins, and was bodily resurrected, ascending into heaven, where he continues to intercede for his people today as he awaits his visible return to earth. (John 14:6–10, 17:5; Ephesians 1:2-3; Philippians 2:5-11; Colossians 1:15-20; Hebrews 7:22-25; 1 John 5:20) THE HOLY SPIRIT We believe the Holy Spirit, who was sent from the Father and Son, is a separate personality within the Godhead, and not simply a force which represents God’s spirit or power. He convicts the world of sin, makes them aware of their need for a Savior, and dwells within every believer in Christ, equipping, guiding, and empowering them for godly living and understanding spiritual truth. (John 14:16-17, 26; Acts 1:8; Ephesians 1:13-14) SALVATION BY GRACE We believe salvation is offered to all, and received by grace, through faith in Christ alone. Though good works are a result of true faith, our works do not save us. (Romans 3:20,28; Galatians 2:16; Ephesians 2:8–9) REGENERATION We believe all people are sinners by nature and by choice and are, therefore, under condemnation and alienated from God. However, those who repent of their sins and trust in Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord are rescued, reconciled, and regenerated by the Holy Spirit. (John 1:12-13, 3:3; Acts 2:38; Ephesians 2:4-5; Titus 3:5) |
THE CHURCH
We believe in one true Church, a living, spiritual body of which Christ is the head and all regenerated persons are members. This shall be demonstrated in the local church, a company of believers in Jesus who are baptized on a credible profession of faith, and associated for worship, discipleship, service, and fellowship. We believe God has laid upon the members of the local church the primary task of sharing the gospel of Christ with a lost world. (Matthew 16:16-18; Ephesians 2:19-22) CHRISTIAN CONDUCT We believe Christians should live for the glory of God and the well-being of others; that their conduct should be blameless before the world; that they should be faithful stewards of their possessions; and that they should seek to realize for themselves and others the full stature of maturity in Christ. (Ephesians 2:10; 2 Peter 1:3-8) THE ORDINANCES We believe the Lord Jesus Christ has given two ordinances to the local church that should be observed and administered until his return to earth: baptism and the Lord’s Supper. We believe Christian baptism is the immersion of a believer into the name of the triune God, and the Lord’s Supper is an event that was instituted by Christ to commemorate his death. (Matthew 28:18-20; Luke 22:14-20) RELIGIOUS LIBERTY We believe every human being has a direct relationship with God, and is responsible to God alone in all matters of faith. We believe every local church should be transparent and accountable before their community and affiliations, but always considered independent, operating free from interference by any ecclesiastical or political authority. (Romans 14:4; James 4:12;1 Peter 2:13-15, 5:2) SANCTITY OF HUMAN LIFE We believe that all human life is sacred and created by God in his image. Human life is of inestimable worth in all its dimensions, including pre-born babies, the aged, the physically or mentally challenged, and every other stage or condition from conception through natural death. We are therefore called to defend, protect, and value all human life. (Genesis 1:27; Psalm 139; Jeremiah 1:5) MARRIAGE Because God has ordained marriage and defined it as the covenant relationship between a man, a woman, and himself; our church will only recognize marriages between a biological man and a biological woman. Further, the elders and pastoral staff shall only participate in weddings and solemnize marriages between one man and one woman. Finally, the facilities and property of our church shall only host weddings between one man and one woman. (Genesis 2:22-24; Matthew 19:4-6; Ephesians 5:31) THE SECOND COMING OF CHRIST We believe in the personal and visible return of the Lord Jesus Christ, which will usher in the final consummation of His eternal kingdom. We believe in the resurrection of the body, the final judgment, the eternal blessedness of those who choose to follow Jesus with their lives, and the endless suffering of those who choose not to. (Matthew 25:31-46; John 5:28-29; Acts 1:6-11; 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18; Revelation 20:11-15) |
