Welcome to the Reformed Bible Church of
Westmoreland, New Hampshire. We worship together in
an New England meeting house built in
1853 on Route 12 in Southwestern NH. The congregation consists
of members from New Hampshire, Vermont, and Massachusetts.
Our desire as a church is to glorify God in every part of
our doctrine and life.
We warmly welcome everyone to join us on
the Lord’s Day as we meet together and worship the true and living God. We are
an imperfect church but are sincerely seeking to obey the whole
counsel of God’s Word and to see the power of the Gospel at work
by God’s sovereign grace.
The Reformed Bible Church meets for worship
on Sunday, the Lord’s Day. In the worship services, we desire to worship
the Triune God in both a reverent and joyful manner. The
public worship consists of the simple biblical elements of preaching and
teaching, singing hymns and psalms, prayers, offerings,
and sacraments. The congregation enjoys a good time of informal fellowship
following worship. Our desire is to draw near to God in truth and in
grace because He has promised to draw near to believers
and increase their faith and bless them with the riches found in Christ.
On the second and fourth Lord's Day of each month, the congregation
enjoys a fellowship meal following the morning service at the church building.
The second service on those days is at 3:00 pm.

Mission
Projects for the Reformed Churches in Siberia
We are writing this informational
letter to you about the needs of over a
dozen newly formed Reformed churches in
Siberia. During this past summer’s Ukraine
mission trip, the classes which we taught
from the Reformed confessions were translated
by Pastor Georgi Viazovski, a pastor of
the Reformed Baptist Church in Minsk, Belarus.
We were delighted to meet Pastor Georgi.
He is a sincere, diligent and beloved brother
in Christ, like-minded in the Reformed confessions
and a man who evidences a true faith. He
has been imprisoned for his faith in 2006
for 10 days and part of his work has been
producing a quarterly Christian magazine
which is sent all over Eastern Europe, including
Siberia. Pastor Georgi has done extensive
translation work, bringing into the Russian
language many books, including Spurgeon
sermons and the Puritans.
We were very grateful
to learn that God has worked in the hearts
of over a dozen pastors in small churches
in the Irkutzk region of Siberia, bringing
them to understand and embrace the Reformed
faith. As this change has come about only
over the past couple years, there is a great
need for these pastors and their congregations
to receive more books, sermons and commentaries
which have been translated into the Russian
language, along with encouragement from
like-minded brethren. There are presently
about 10,000 books in storage in Minsk and
Moscow. These titles include the puritans
John Bunyan and John Flavel, theologian
William Hendriksen and sermons by Charles
Spurgeon.
To minister to these
churches, we would present to you the following
needs for prayer and for financial support.
Project # 1
To send about 10,000 Reformed and
puritan books from Moscow to the Irkutzk
region of Siberia and to distribute them
to pastors and church members. This would
include transportation of about 5,000 books
from Minsk to Moscow by truck and paying
for a container to ship them to Siberia.
Cost: $1,500
Received: $1,500
Project #2
To support Pastor Georgi Viazovski with
salary for one year so he could devote himself
full time to the translation work of new
books, including his quarterly magazine.
Presently he works full time as taxi driver
to support himself financially in the city
of Minsk, where he and his wife Luda live
in a flat (apartment ).
Cost for one year salary: $3,000
Received:
$2150
Project #3
To send two pastors to Siberia for 10 days
to visit the pastors in the dozen churches
for the purpose of encouraging them, praying
with them, sharing counsel where needed,
and ascertaining further needs so they can
be presented to the brethren in our country.
One of the pastors would be Pastor Georgi.
The other pastor would either be an American
pastor or a fellow pastor from Belarus.
Cost: $3,500–$4,000
Received: $400
We rejoice at this wonderful work that
God has begun in the hearts of so many pastors
in the Irkutzk region of Siberia and may
these efforts to come along side of them
prove to strengthen the spiritual lives
of the pastors and the churches which they
shepherd. Our prayer is that the churches
would grow to be sound in doctrine, faithful
in preaching and that their worship would
be reverent and joyful, according to Scripture.
If you have further questions, please
contact Pastor Ken Sanders by telephone:
603-399-7213 or by email: kcsrbc@hotmail.com.
If you would like to support these projects,
please make a check out to Reformed Bible
Church and send it to: 33 Capron Road, Westmoreland,
NH 03467. Please designate which project
you desire to support. If more funds are
received than are needed for a project,
we will use the additional funds to support
the other proposed needs.
Sincerely in the Lord Jesus Christ,
Pastor John Price
