A Message from our Pastor

Listen to a welcome message from our Pastor and we hope that you feel welcome and want to join us for a spirit-filled worship experience.

During the month of February 1996, God called His servant Bernard Buhl to establish a church in Round Rock. With these instructions and a faith sure to please God, March 1996 marks the dawn of the One Way Baptist Church (OWBC).

The impact of OWBC on the community was evident in the steady growth of her membership. Individuals and families have traveled from the Austin, Georgetown, Cedar Park, Leander, Hutto and Round Rock, to be a part of this growing body.

By prioritizing God and diligently seeking Him in all that we do, "The Lord gives grace and glory; no good thing does He withhold from those who walk uprightly" (Ps. 84:11). OWBC continues to grow, spiritually and numerically to make a difference for the glory of God.

As we continue to trust God by faith to do even greater work for His glory, it is imperative that we expand our efforts in fulfilling the vision of our church.

"Your way is not the way until you have tried it God's way which is the only way for the One Way Baptist Church."

Outreach touches the world at large with the good news of Jesus Christ and the salvation He offers.

Worship primary goal is to express to God the esteem in which His people hold Him.

Bibilcal Education promotes learning among God's people and an obedient response to His Word.

Christian Fellowship is designed to promote the interpersonal caring and sharing of God's people on to another as an outgrowth of our fellowship with God.

Our Mission

It is the mission of the One Way Baptist Church to spiritually support, develop, and empower the community as we strive to promote disciples for God. We seek to accomplish our mission with diligent love expressed through the compassion and encouragement that extends through Outreach, Worship, Biblical Education, and Christian Fellowship (OWBC).

Our Vision

As the people of God we seek to exercise our spiritual gifts for the edification of the body of Christ to motivate and make a positive change in our community.

Our Core Values

Togetherness

(Ephesians 4:3)

Love One Another

(I Peter 4:10)

Commitment

(Romans 12:5)

Reaching Out

(Matthew 28:19)

We Believe...

The Church Must Emphasize Teaching

Exposition is one of the processes of communicating from the Bible the meaning of the text as the biblical author intended and then applying it to the audience in a relevant manner. This is critical because in our community we need to be taught not entertained. (I Timothy 4:13; II Timothy 4:1-5)

The Church Cannot Depend on the Government

It is not the government that has the responsibility of taking care of God's family. The church is responsible for the church so that the secular world sees first hand the reality of the divine household at work. (John 13:35, Acts 2:44-45, Philippians 4:19)

The Church Must Move Beyond Tradition

While it is true that we have a tremendous heritage as a people, it must not be forgotten it is equally true that we cannot become locked into traditions that are man-made and that are not biblical. Two questions must be asked about all activities of the church: Is it biblical and then is it effective? The Bible must sit in judgement over our heritage. (Matthew 15:1-9, Colossians 2:8)

The Church Must Use the Spiritual Gifts of the Body

One man cannot do it all and should not try. God has so constructed the spiritual body like the human body so that every part must contribute so that the whole might function properly. Believers must be held accountable to serve the rest of the church family so the gifts of the body can be enhanced and leaders developed. (Ephesians 4:7-17, I Corinthians 12:12-27, II Timothy 2:2)

The Church Must Disciple It's Members

It is not enough to have people's names on the church roll. They must be held accountable for learning and applying God's truth. This means that the church has to establish accountability mechanisms that are followed up with and by its members. (Matthew 28:17-20)

The Church Must Address Sin

This must not be done only through the sermons, but also in the discipline procedures of the church so that the members see the seriousness of the Holy Spirit leading; beginning in the pulpit and moving into the pews. (I Corinthians 5:11, II Thessalonians 3:6)

The Church Must Become a Community

The church is not first of all a geographical site where a building is located. It is first and foremost a fellowship of believers who, in response to their Lord, share themselves and their resources to address the needs of its members. (Acts 4:32-37)

The Church Must Become Unified

We can ill afford to be divided over non-essential matters. While we cannot compromise biblical truth, if we can find a basis for the unity on the essentials of the faith, then we will have the unity which is necessary to oppose our adversary in the community for which we serve. (John 17:12, 21; Ephesians 4:13)

OWBC has Moved from Program to Ministry

The plight of our African American community and families demands that we must move beyond Choir Musicals, Men's and Women's day and other programs that are not tied to ministry.

The Church Must Move from Mediocrity to Excellence

God ought not to receive the leftovers, but rather He ought to have the absolute best we can offer Him given the resources at our disposal. People need to know that when they serve God, they do so in keeping with His perfection. (Malachi 1:6-10)
