VALLEY BAPTIST BIBLE CHURCH
April 1988 to May 2006OUR BIBLICAL POSITION
WE BELIEVE THE BIBLE IS THE VERBALLY INSPIRED WORD OF GOD AND SHOULD BE UPHELD AS THE FINAL AUTHORITY IN FAITH AND PRACTICE.
WE BELIEVE IN ONE GOD, ETERNALLY EXISTING IN THREE PERSONS (FATHER, SON, AND HOLY SPIRIT).
WE BELIEVE THAT JESUS CHRIST IS GOD AND THAT HE WAS THE SUBSTITUTIONARY SACRIFICE ON THE CROSS NEEDED TO PAY THE PRICE FOR MAN'S SALVATION.
WE BELIEVE THAT EVERY CHRISTIAN IS ETERNALLY SECURE AND HAS A RESPONSIBILITY TO YIELD TO THE WORD OF GOD.
WE BELIEVE IN THE IMMINENT RETURN OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST TO TAKE UP HIS CHURCH BEFORE THE BEGINNING OF THE TRIBULATION.
OUR PURPOSE
A CHURCH IS A BODY OF CHRISTIANS THAT GOD HAS PUT TOGETHER. EACH OF ITS MEMBERS IS EXPECTED TO SUBMIT TO GOD AND SERVE HIM IN A BIBLICAL FASHION. EACH TIME THE WORD OF GOD IS OPENED, IT IS INTENDED TO EXPOSE US TO THE WILL OF GOD (PSALM 119:105). WHEN A CHURCH SERVICE HAS ENDED, THOSE IN ATTENDANCE SHOULD LEAVE HAVING BEEN IMPRESSED BY THE POWER AND GRACE OF GOD - NOT BY THE ATTRACTIVENESS OF THE SPEAKER. MANY BOOKS, TAPES AND SEMINARS ATTEMPT TO SHOW A MAN OR WOMAN HOW TO BECOME SPIRITUAL. GOD SAYS THAT EVERY CHRISTIAN IS ALREADY SPIRITUAL. THE HOLY SPIRIT INDWELLS EVERY CHRISTIAN AT THE POINT OF SALVATION. WHAT IS NEEDED IS UNDERSTANDING OF HOW TO USE WHAT GOD HAS ALREADY PROVIDED. THE PURPOSE OF OUR LOCAL CHURCH IS TO GROW SPIRITUALLY IN THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD.
OUR MINISTRY
TO PROCLAIM THE GOSPEL MESSAGE OF SALVATION THAT PEOPLE MUST HEAR BEFORE THEY CAN HAVE ETERNAL LIFE, AND TO PROVIDE INSTRUCTION FROM GOD'S WORD TO ENABLE CHRISTIANS TO FIND TRUE WISDOM, ENCOURAGEMENT, DIRECTION, HOPE, COMFORT, BLESSING AND PEACE.
