| The mission of the Vale church is to evangelize people for Jesus so they might exalt God, encourage each other as family, edify one another to Christ-like maturity, and finally equip ourselves in the service of our Lord. It is our goal to imitate the Bible's pattern for the church by basing all our activities on Biblical instructions. We study the whole Bible in our classes and constantly use it in our preaching. However, we recognize and follow the New Testament as the covenant through which Christ directs His people today. "God, who at various times and in various ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets, has in these last days spoken to us by His Son…" Hebrews 1:1-2 By trusting in the Bible as our only guide, we are bound together like a spiritual family in love, unity, and consensus. We work and worship together as a completely non-denominational congregation of God's people endeavoring to be part of the church that Jesus promised to build. "And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it." Matthew 16:18 |
