Valleyview Bible Church Core Values:

1.BIBLICAL AUTHORITY

We believe that the Bible is God’s inspired, inerrant, infallible Word and provides the basis of our faith and life.  (2 Timothy 3:16-17; Psalm 119:105; 2 Peter 1:19-21)

2.CHRIST-CENTERED TEACHING

We believe that Christ-centered teaching leads to a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, which then cultivates a Christlike atmosphere within the body.  (Colossians 2:6-7; Colossians 1:17-18)

3.DEPENDENCE ON THE HOLY SPIRIT

We believe that it is essential to seek the Holy Spirit’s guidance and direction through prayer and study of the Word.  (John 14:26; Romans 8:26; Colossians 1:9)

4.  EVANGELISM

We believe in an outwardly focused attitude of evangelism within our church, our community and around the world.  (Matthew 28:19-20; John 15:8; Romans 10:14-15)

5.  DISCIPLESHIP

We believe that Christians, led by the Holy Spirit, should live in obedience to Christ and his teaching and seek to grow toward spiritual maturity.  (Matthew 28:19-20; James 1:4; 1 John 5:3)

6.ACCOUNTABILITY

We believe in the importance of demonstrating personal and corporate accountability of our Christian walk in all areas of our lives.  (Galatians 6:1-2; James 5:16)

7.LOVING/CARING RELATIONSHIPS

We believe that the love of Jesus is demonstrated by cultivating loving/caring relationships and that this should permeate every aspect of church life.  (2 Peter 1:7; John 13:34-35; Galatians 5:13)

8.PRAISE AND WORSHIP

We believe that worship is an essential part of church life. Through a blended worship style of both traditional and contemporary aspects we seek to provide opportunities for praise and worship in a multigenerational congregation.  (Acts 2:47; Colossians 3:16; Psalm 118:24; Psalm 150)
