Mariners Reformed Baptist Church began meeting in homes in the fall of 1996.  After adding several families, the fellowship moved to various locations as the need arose, and has settled at the North Bend Housing Authority Building, 1700 Monroe St., North Bend, since the winter of 2003.  The fellowship became a constituted church the following spring with ordained leadership and a recognized membership.

Mariners stands unequivocally in the Reformed tradition, from a Baptistic perspective.  The church holds to the London Baptist Confession of 1689 as its primary doctrinal guideline, but it has great appreciation for other Reformed confessions, including the Westminster Confession of Faith, and the Canons of Dordt.  The church is committed to careful and contextual expository preaching of the Word of God, and because of that fact, it expects its members to behave like regenerate believers.  The church practices both nurturing and  corrective church discipline.

Mariners is presuppositional in apologetics, non-dispensational in eschatology, and non-charismatic in worship.  The church stands uncompromisingly for the historic Christian faith, and welcomes all who are serious about their Christian walk, and all whom the Spirit of God may be drawing to Christ by awakening them to the recognition of their own sin and their need of a Savior.
