9Marks Ministries

9Marks, Nine Marks
A — Broadly Reformed

Overview

9Marks is a Reformed ministry anchored at Capitol Hill Baptist Church in Washington, D.C., founded by Mark Dever around 1998 to equip pastors and congregations toward nine marks of a biblical local church: expositional preaching, biblical theology, a biblical understanding of the gospel, conversion, evangelism, meaningful church membership, corrective church discipline, discipleship, and plural church leadership. The ministry publishes books, a free quarterly journal, and pastoral resources oriented toward Reformed Baptist ecclesiology under the 1689 LBCF stream. AskCredo places 9Marks in the A-tier for its sustained labor to recover a biblical doctrine of the local church.
