Our History
Bible Baptist Church was founded in 1987 by Pastor Artie Dean and his wife Lily. Bible Baptist Church has been serving the Bangor area for over 35 years! For 28 years we met in leased spaces in Bangor before moving to our current location in Orono in January of 2016. God allowed us to be able to purchase land in Orono which we owned for 15 years before God miraculously allowed us to be able to build our beautiful building and move to that land we owned for all those years. There were so many people and ministries that were instrumental in our current facilities being built and we thank God for all that he did for us through them! Though our location changed and we now have a permanent home our mission and purpose has remained the same, to serve the greater Bangor area, lead people to Jesus to be saved from their sins, and make disciples.
For over 35 years we have been preaching an unchanging gospel that still changes lives! We encourage you to come see what we are all about!

Meet Our Pastors
Artie Dean - Senior PastorPastor Artie Dean was born in Greenville Maine and spent many of his early years there. Artie and Lily met in high school and both graduated from Greenville High School. They were both saved at the age of 21 and were discipled immediately after by a very godly couple that God placed in their lives. After attending Bible College Pastor Dean and his wife Lily returned to Maine and began Bible Baptist Church.
In 1987 Pastor Dean and his wife Lily had the privilege to begin in the ministry with just a handful of believers in Bangor. They rejoice in what God has done over the years and how He has grown His work. Pastor Dean’s desire is to have a place where you can grow in God’s word in a church that is anchored upon the unchanging truths of the Bible. For over 35 years Pastor Dean has preached an unchanging gospel that still changes lives! When Pastor Dean started the church, he chose II Corinthians 4:5 as the ministry verse for Bible Baptist Church which says, “For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus’ sake”. Pastor and Mrs. Dean have a desire to minister to you and help meet your spiritual need! |
