Our Mission
Making disciples by caring for people in the love of Jesus Christ.
We believe worship is our wholehearted response to who God is and what He has done through Jesus Christ. Worship is more than music—it is a lifestyle of glorifying God with our hearts, minds, and lives.
Authentic Worship
Our Values
"God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth." — John 4:24
Transformational Discipleship
Following Jesus is a lifelong journey of being transformed into His likeness. Through the work of the Holy Spirit, the study of God's Word, prayer, and biblical community, we seek to grow in faith and obedience every day.
"And we all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another." — 2 Corinthians 3:18
God's Word is our final authority for faith and life. Everything we teach, believe, and do is measured by Scripture because it is God-inspired and sufficient revelation to His people.
Scripturally Grounded
"All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness."
— 2 Timothy 3:16–17
Jesus calls every believer to use their God-given gifts to serve others with humility and love. As Christ gave Himself for us, we joyfully give of our time, talents, and resources for the good of the church and the advancement of the gospel.
Sacrifical Service
"For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many." — Mark 10:45
What we believe
-
We believe in one God, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. These three are one in essence, equal in power and glory, and worthy of all worship and obedience.
God is holy, sovereign, loving, just, and faithful. He created all things for His glory and providentially sustains and governs His creation according to His perfect will.
We believe God the Father is the Creator and Sustainer of all things. He rules sovereignly over the universe and graciously calls people into relationship with Himself through Jesus Christ.
-
We believe Jesus Christ is fully God and fully man, conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He lived a sinless life, fulfilled the law of God perfectly, died on the cross as the atoning sacrifice for sin, and rose bodily from the grave.
Jesus Christ alone is Savior and Lord. Through His death and resurrection, He provides forgiveness of sins, reconciliation with God, and eternal life to all who repent and believe in Him.
He ascended into heaven, reigns at the right hand of the Father, and will return again in glory to judge the living and the dead.
-
We believe the Holy Spirit is fully God and actively works in the world to glorify Christ. The Spirit convicts people of sin, regenerates believers, indwells the church, equips believers for ministry, and transforms God’s people into the likeness of Christ.
The Christian life is lived through dependence upon the power and guidance of the Holy Spirit.
-
We believe all people are created in the image of God and therefore possess inherent dignity and value.
Because of humanity’s fall into sin, every person is spiritually separated from God and unable to save themselves apart from divine grace. All people stand in need of forgiveness, redemption, and new life through Jesus Christ.
-
We believe salvation is by grace alone through faith alone in Jesus Christ alone.
Salvation is a gift of God and cannot be earned through good works, religious effort, or human righteousness. Through repentance and faith in Christ, believers are forgiven, justified, adopted into God’s family, and given eternal life.
The Holy Spirit continually sanctifies believers, producing spiritual growth, holiness, and obedience.
-
We believe the church is the body of Christ, composed of all true believers united by faith in Him.
The mission of the church is to glorify God through worship, the proclamation of the Gospel, discipleship, fellowship, prayer, and service.
The church is called to make disciples of all nations and to live faithfully as Christ’s witnesses in the world.
-
We believe the Bible, consisting of the Old and New Testaments, is the inspired, inerrant, authoritative, and sufficient Word of God.
Scripture reveals God’s character, His plan of redemption, and His will for humanity. It is the final authority in all matters of faith and practice and is to be read, preached, taught, trusted, and obeyed.
-
We believe Baptism and the Lord’s Supper are sacraments ordained by Jesus Christ for His church.
Baptism signifies union with Christ, repentance from sin, and new life in Him. It serves as a public profession of faith and entrance into the covenant community of believers.
The Lord’s Supper is a means of grace in which believers remember Christ’s sacrificial death, proclaim His resurrection, and are spiritually nourished through faith.
Communion is celebrated on the first Sunday of each month at The Village Church. We use gluten-free wafers and grape juice to ensure all in our community can partake. The communion table is not the table of the Village Church; it is God's table, prepared by the sacrifice of Christ, therefore it is open to all baptized believers.
