Bible Baptist Church is the oldest independent Baptist Church in Kitsap County, celebrating over 50 years of ministry.

Bible Baptist Church was started in 1958 as a Bible study conducted by Pastor Henry King in Bremerton, and was officially incorporated in 1963. In 1968 the congregation moved to Port Orchard and acquired the former Elim Lutheran Church building on Woods Road E. That building was destroyed by fire in 1985. Shortly thereafter, the church purchased the former First Christian Church building on Dekalb Street in Port Orchard.

In 1986 Dr. Al Hughes became the church’s third pastor. By 1990 the congregation had grown to where the Dekalb Street facility was no longer adequate to accommodate the congregation’s growing needs. They had a vision to improve the facilities and begin more outreach ministries.

In 1993 God provided four acres of property on Bethel Road for a new church campus of three buildings. The first phase was the 4,800 sq. ft. Fellowship Hall and Administrative Office building that was dedicated in 1999. In 2003 the 300 seat auditorium was completed. Work was completed in early 2007 on the 4,800 sq. ft. educational facility for our Sunday School and the Puget Sound Bible Institute.

During the last fifteen years two men have been ordained to the Gospel ministry who were trained in our Puget Sound Bible Institute. Also, four missionary families and individuals have been sent out from our church to serve in China. We sent out a summer missionary to Ukraine in 2008.

We praise God for His bountiful blessings. As a congregation, we desire to continue being a place where people can know Christ and make Him known.
