About Us & Our Purpose

Pineville Independent Bible Church exists to exalt God:

by worshiping Him in spirit and in truth,
by faithfully teaching His inspired, sufficient, and authoritative Word,
by building up believers in the faith,
by loving fellowship within the body,
by observing the ordinances of baptism and the Lord’s Supper, and
by clearly and boldly proclaiming the Gospel of Jesus Christ here in Bucks County and around the world.

We recognize our complete dependence on the Lord Jesus Christ and our need for the empowering of the Holy Spirit. Our goal is not to entertain, but to present every believer “complete in Christ” through faithful preaching, teaching, prayer, and Christlike service.

Meet Our Pastor

Pineville Independent Bible Church is currently led by Pastor Raimer Lindow, the eighth pastor of the church.

Pastor Raimer has a heart for expository preaching – working carefully through books of the Bible and helping God’s people see how His Word speaks to everyday life. His recent messages from Galatians have emphasized:

bearing one another’s burdens in a spirit of meekness,
sowing to the Spirit rather than to the flesh, and
serving Christ from pure motives that seek His glory, not our own.

In his preaching and pastoral ministry, you’ll hear again and again the call to:

glory only in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ,
walk by faith, resting in the grace of God, and
love and serve one another as a true church family.

Pastor Raimer is thankful for a rich spiritual heritage. His grandfather, Dr. Ken Lindow, has served in Gospel ministry since 1960, pastored multiple churches, and authored numerous Bible commentaries, especially on the pastoral epistles. That legacy of careful Bible study and faithful shepherding continues today at Pineville Independent Bible Church, where the focus remains on God’s Word and God’s glory.

What We Believe & What We Stand For

Pineville Independent Bible Church is an independent, fundamental, Bible-believing church. Our desire is to glorify God both individually and together as a local body. Here are some of our core distinctives:

The Bible

We believe the Bible is the inspired, inerrant, and infallible Word of God – our final authority for faith and practice. We preach and teach from the King James Version (KJV) in all of our services.

Salvation by Grace Through Faith

We believe that all have sinned and are separated from God (Romans 3:23), and that the wages of sin is death (Romans 6:23). Salvation is entirely by God’s grace, through faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ – not by our works, rituals, or religious efforts (Ephesians 2:8–9).

The Person and Work of Christ

We believe in the virgin birth, sinless life, substitutionary death, bodily resurrection, and soon return of the Lord Jesus Christ. Our only ground of boasting is “the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ.”

The Church

We believe the local church is Christ’s ordained place for worship, fellowship, discipleship, and Gospel outreach. Every believer is called to use his or her spiritual gifts to serve others, bear burdens, and help build up the body in love.

Traditional Worship

Our worship services are intentionally traditional. We sing doctrinally rich hymns, accompanied in a way that supports congregational singing. Our focus is not performance, but heartfelt worship that honors the Lord.

Missions and Evangelism

From the beginning, Pineville has had a burden to share the Good News both locally and globally. We support missionary work at home and abroad and encourage our members to be faithful witnesses in Pineville, Buckingham, New Hope, and across Bucks County.

Daily Christian Living

We encourage believers to walk in the Spirit, sowing to righteousness and not to the flesh, knowing that we will one day reap what we have sown. Our desire is to live holy, separated lives that reflect the grace of God and point others to Christ.
