Our Bible Study

Our Bible study is held in a relaxed, friendly and informal setting around café tables, where we magnify the word of God rightly divided as instructed by the Apostle Paul.

Taught by Pastor Edward R. Cross. Read his articles on the Pastor’s Desk ›

“I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.” (Psalm 138:2 KJV)

What to Expect

We are a small group, so you won’t find all the programs many have come to expect from churches. Our focus is not on building a church that fills your days with church-centered activities, but on teaching grace living in the life you already have, so you can be an ambassador for Christ to the world. We are not a place to hide from the world, but a place to be equipped to live for Christ in it.

Visitors Welcome

Whether you are new to the Bible, visiting from another church, or simply curious about grace, you are welcome here. You won’t be singled out, but you will be warmly welcomed, and you are free to simply sit and listen. Dress is casual but respectful.

The Morning

We begin by sharing prayer requests, then sing hymns, many from the Grace Ambassadors Hymnal, chosen because they teach Pauline doctrine. An hour-long Bible study follows, taught with PowerPoint. The morning lasts about 1½ hours.

Questions Welcome

After class is dismissed, many stay for questions and conversation, and you are welcome to join them. If a question needs more than a quick answer, it may be considered for part of a future lesson.

Your Bible

We use the King James Bible, and copies of Paul’s Epistles are at every table. You are welcome to use a Bible app on your phone, but please silence all phones.

Parking and Entrance

Parking is on the street. Please use the front door on Union Street; there are stairs up to the entrance. Restrooms are in the basement.

Coffee, Tea and Water

Coffee, water and a variety of teas are available at the back of the auditorium.

Children

Children are welcome to sit with their parents in the auditorium. For babies and toddlers, a room at the back is set up as a nursery, with a window and a speaker so parents can still see and hear the lesson. The nursery is not staffed, so little ones stay with a parent.

Giving

An offering box is at the back of the auditorium for those who wish to give. You can also give online in the Support the Ministry section below.

Word of Truth Bible Church, 171 Union Street, Attleboro

Our auditorium, set with café tables for Bible study

Who We Are

The Word of Truth Bible Church is a small fellowship of individual believers in Christ who have banded together to promote "the gospel of the grace of God" and the word of God, rightly divided (Acts 20:24; 2 Timothy 2:15). Our purposes are to win the lost to Christ, and to edify, unify, and equip individual believers in the way of the Lord more perfectly according to the revelation of the mystery given to the Apostle Paul for the body of Christ.

We teach that Christians are to "hold the traditions" which were taught by Paul to the body of Christ. We believe the entire Bible is for us, but not necessarily to us and that rightly dividing the word of truth as commanded by the Lord through Paul, the Apostle of the Gentiles, is the only way to avoid misapplying Biblical truths that are not present truths to the body of Christ. The Apostle Paul tells us that the things written before are for the Christians to learn to have hope through the patience and comfort of the scriptures.

We also find that historical traditions contained in the writings and teachings of men are a poor substitute for Biblical truth and often result in the spoiling of the believer by either bringing them into captivity or destroying them.

This website only contains a snapshot of our beliefs, but we hope that it gives you an idea regarding the truths that we believe.

Support the Ministry

“Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.” (2 Corinthians 9:7 KJV)

Grace Giving

The Apostle Paul teaches that giving under grace is voluntary, cheerful, and motivated by love—not obligation. He encourages believers to give as they purpose in their hearts, not grudgingly or by necessity (2 Cor. 9:7). Paul highlights the generosity of the Macedonians, who gave willingly despite poverty (2 Cor. 8:1–5), and presents Christ’s sacrifice as the ultimate model of giving (2 Cor. 8:9). He never commands tithing but promotes freewill, grace-based giving as a spiritual investment (2 Cor. 9:6). For Paul, giving expresses gratitude, supports ministry, and glorifies God through sincere, Spirit-led generosity.
