WHO WE ARE
“Family, Refinement, Celebration” represents a way of life and a context for doing ministry here at MVCC.
Family
Because of God’s love for us, we aspire to live out Jesus’ call to live in unity. We view each other as family and desire to establish a foundation of love.
Refinement
Because God’s Word calls us to a high standard, we need and desire to grow to meet our potential in Christ. Everyone is in process and in need of refinement, and we strive to support each other in the process.
Celebration
Growing in spiritual maturity brings joy and peace to our relationships with God and those around us. We celebrate the stories of healing and growth in hearts, lifestyles, spiritual fruitfulness and relationships.
“If you are reading this you are very likely on the difficult journey of finding a church you can call home. We understand how challenging that can be and hope this “window” into our fellowship is helpful.
We are a medium-sized church set in a diverse community here in the Willamette Valley. We enjoy the fact that our church family is made up of different ethnic groups and different age groups that come together around God and His Word.
Our worship is somewhat eclectic as we are a family with diverse tastes. We base our teachings on the Scriptures, rather than opinion. We teach through the Bible and occasionally a topical series. We also work hard to stay close to the essential commands of Christ and so take relational discipleship very seriously. ”
“Our mission is to build up healthy Christians and churches.
We hope you will join us, but pray you find your most excellent fit wherever that may lead you.
God bless your journey,”
What We Believe
A statement of faith is a written declaration of a ministry’s position
on matters that pertain to the essentials of historical Christianity.
We believe the Bible is the only inspired, infallible and authoritative Word of God.
We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons known as the Trinity: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
We believe in the deity of Jesus Christ; in His virgin birth; in His sinless, human life; in His miracles; in his atoning death through His shed blood on the cross; in His resurrection from the dead to demonstrate His power over sin and death; in His ascension to heaven’s glory; and in His imminent return.
We believe mankind was created in the image of God for relationship with Him. But man chooses departure from God as seen in our rebellion or indifference. Thus, we need His rescue from the penalty of our sin, which is separation from Him. This rescue is free to all who accept it.
We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit, by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life.
We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost: those who are saved unto the resurrection of life, and those who are lost unto eternal separation from God.
