Born in Missouri in 1952, Pastor Ed Thierbach was reared in the rural town of Manchester. Upon graduation from high school, he entered the U.S. Air Force. He trusted Christ as his Lord and Savior in May 1980 while stationed in Alaska. In 1981 he separated from the military and surrendered to the preaching ministry in February of 1982.
Pastor Thierbach holds a bachelor’s degree in Christian Education from Trinity Valley Baptist Seminary and College and an honorary Doctor of Divinity from Faith Bible Theological Seminary in Milton, Florida.
Prior to Pastor Thierbach's arrival at Ranchero Drive Baptist Church in 2022, he served the Lord as a pastor in Louisiana and then for 23 years as the Associate Pastor of East River Baptist Church, in New Caney, Texas. He and his wife Debbie were married in 1972. They have two grown children and eleven grandchildren.
The Scriptures
We believe the scriptures are verbally inspired of God making them the supreme and final authority for our faith and practice, and are preserved in the KJV Authorized Version.
God
We believe in one God existing in three persons (The Holy Trinity): God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. Existing without beginning and without end.
Jesus
We believe in the Deity of Jesus Christ, His virgin birth, His sinless life, His death on the cross to pay in full the debt for our sins, His resurrection, and His coming return.
The Holy Spirit
We believe the Holy Spirit is the third person of the Trinity, one with the Father and the Son, the indweller of every believer to enlighten and seal each believer until the day of redemption of the body.
Man
We believe that God created man in His image in a state of innocence, but through temptation, man transgressed and became dead in trespasses and sins. As a result, all men inherited a corrupt nature, are born in sin and are under condemnation.
Security of the Believer
We believe that those who, by faith, receive Jesus Christ as their personal Savior are born again of the Holy Spirit, are the children of God, are heirs and joint-heirs with Jesus Christ, are kept by the power of God and can know they are eternally saved forever!
Last Things
We believe in the imminent, pre-tribulation, pre-millennial return of Christ. The Lord shall return for His church and rapture out the church at any given moment. The world will then enter into a seven-year period of tribulation that will end with the battle of Armageddon and the Second Advent of Jesus Christ. He will come as “King of Kings” and “Lord of lords”, and establish His kingdom that will last for 1,000 years. The Lord will then judge the living and the dead at the Great White Throne Judgement (which is different from the judgement Seat of Christ where the Lord judges the Church). After this, all the lost, Satan, death and hell are cast into the Lake of Fire, while the Lord and His saints enter into “Eternal Bliss”.
