Galveston Bible Church began in January 1975 as Believer's Fellowship. A small group of dedicated Christians met in the home of a medical resident following a biblical study on the New Testament Church.
Less than a year later the church was incorporated. The church was founded upon two important Christian convictions:
- There was a genuine need in Galveston for a church which was doctrinally sound (that is holding to the authority of the Bible).
- There was a need for concerned Christians to implement the principles outlined in the Scriptures concerning the local church.
The equality and mutual ministry of each believer was and still is emphasized.
In 1981, after a succession of various meeting places and other minor changes, the name was changed from Believer's Fellowship to Galveston Bible Church.
The church purchased the former Salvation Army building in 1987, and after a year of renovation, moved into its present location in March of 1988.
The continuing emphasis of the church is on Bible teaching, joined with a dedication to minister to one another and to the wider community.
