Who is Ethnos?

We are a Diverse Family of believers in Christ who are Rooted in Prayer,

Growing in Grace, Reaching Authentically, and Leading Generously

Ethnos Bible Church is a Non-Denominational Bible Church located in the heart of Richardson, Texas. We are answering the call that God has on us to love across cultural, generational, and political lines within our church family and within the city that we love.

Why We Exist

God has called every church to live out the gospel. Every church has it's own DNA. A unique set of stories, gifts, and passions that are formed out of the believers God has called there. At Ethnos, we exist to live out the Great Command and the Great Commission and the unique way we live that out is through our beliefs and values.

More than anything, we exist to honor God with our beliefs. Some of our core doctrinal

beliefs are included in this section.

We believe that He is the second Person of the Triune God, the eternal Word and Only Begotten Son; that without any change in His divine Person, He became man by miracle of the Virgin Birth, thus to continue forever as both true God and true Man, one Person with two natures; that as Man He was tempted in all points as we are, yet without sin, that as the perfect Lamb of God He gave Himself in death upon the cross, bearing there the sin of the world, and suffering its full penalty of divine wrath in our stead; that He arose from the grave in a glorified body; that as our great High Priest He ascended into Heaven, there to appear before the face of God as our Advocate and Intercessor.

Reference Scriptures: John 1:1-14 & 3:16; Matthew 1:18-25; Galatians 4:4-5; Philippians 2:6-10; 1 Corinthians 15:3-7; Hebrews 4:14-16; 1 John 2:1-2

We believe that God is a triune, intelligent, sovereign, spiritual and personal Being; perfect, infinite, and eternal in His being, holiness and love, wisdom and power; absolutely separate from and above the world as its Creator, yet everywhere present in the world as the Upholder of all things. He is revealed to us as Father, Son and Holy Spirit, three distinct persons but without division of nature, one essence of being, and each having a distinct ministry in God’s relation to His creation and people.

Reference Scriptures: Genesis 1:1; Exodus 15:11; Psalm 83:18 & 139:7-9; Matthew 28:19; John 10:30 & 15:26

We believe that He is the Third Person of the Trinity, and the divine Agent in nature, revelation and redemption; that He convicts the world concerning sin, righteousness and judgment; that He regenerates, indwells, baptizes, seals and anoints all who become children of God through Christ; that He further empowers, guides, teaches, sanctifies and fills believers who daily surrender to Him.

Reference Scriptures: John 3:5 & 14:16-17, 26 & 16:7-14; Romans 8:9; 1 Corinthians 12:13; 2 Corinthians 3:18; Ephesians

1:13 & 5:18

We believe that salvation is the free gift of God, neither merited nor secured in part or in whole by any virtue or work of man, but received only by personal faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, in whom all true believers have as a present possession the gift of eternal life, a perfect righteousness, sonship in the family of God, deliverance and security from all condemnation, every spiritual resource needed for life and godliness, and the divine guarantee that they shall never perish; that this salvation affects the whole man; that apart from Christ there is no possible salvation.

Reference Scriptures: Ephesians 2:8-9; Titus 3:5; John 1:12 & 3:14 & 10:28-29; Romans 8:1; Philippians 1:6

What We Value

We are a church that is driven by our values; the organic way that our church family naturally responds to the gospel where we worship, live, work, and play. Our values permeate everything that we are. They are the "why" behind what we do and how we do it.

We believe that the Holy Spirit’s indwelling creates unity from a culturally and ethnically diverse group of followers of Jesus, binding us together as a church family.

Diverse Family

Rooted in Prayer

Prayer is the foundation of our relational experience of God’s promised presence in our lives.

Growing in Grace

Together, as a Church Family, we nurture an environment where each member is supported and challenged to grow in their relationship with Jesus.

Inspired by Christ's example, we aim to

lead with generosity in all aspects of

our lives.

Leading Generously

We are committed to genuine outreach, sharing the message of Christ's love in authentic and meaningful ways to impact lives that lead to relationship.

Reaching Authentically

Current Vision

In Three Years (by the year 2025), we will be vibrantly living out our Ethnos Family Values, truly becoming a community that is Multi-generational, Multi-lingual, and Multi-cultural.
