“Humble beginnings” doesn’t even begin to describe it. Midlothian Bible Church started as a small Bible study in 1971. Ed and Coralee Murray wanted to share the good news of Jesus.
Let’s step back for a moment and appreciate how far the Midlothian Bible Church has come. The Murrays’ desire took them from Midlothian to Austria. Another Bible study led by David and Mary Wyrtzen merged with the Murrays’. This became a church plant. David Wyrtzen became the founding pastor on July 15, 1973.
After more than 40 years of leadership David passed the baton. Matt Reynolds took over in 2014. Matt brought new energy to the church’s mission. He focused on knowing and loving Jesus. He continued steadfastly in His Word. All this was for the good of Midlothian and beyond.
