Our Vision, Mission and Goal
Vision
A world of people who open the Bible for themselves, believe what it says, and follow Jesus Christ as the first Christians did, united by the one faith and one gospel found in the New Testament.
Mission
To place the Scriptures in every hand and make them clear: to teach what the Bible says, in its own words and in its own context, to speak where the Bible speaks and be silent where it is silent, and to treat every person with the patience and kindness of Christ.
Goal
To help each person hear the gospel, obey it, grow in it, and teach others, using the New Testament pattern for becoming a Christian, worshiping God, living faithfully, and serving one another, with every claim tied to a verse you can check.
We believe the Bible is enough. We do not add to it, take away from it, or place human traditions in the place of God’s word. Every person is welcome to ask, to question and to test what is taught by the Scriptures, as the Bereans did (Acts 17:11). This site is a study aid and never a replacement for the Bible, prayer, or the care of faithful shepherds.
Why Chapter & Verse
Many people sit down to study with a question and no one to ask. Others are tempted to trust the first answer they find. Chapter & Verse was built to send people straight back to the text, with the book, chapter and verse in hand, and to be plain about what the Bible does not say. It is a study aid for the Word. It does not replace the Word, prayer, or the guidance of faithful elders and ministers.
