Valley Community Chapel is an evangelical, non-denominational fellowship of believers. Our beginning was as a home fellowship, following the model of Acts 2:42:
And they continued steadfastly in the apostle’s doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers.
We believe the simple pattern outlined in Acts 2:42 provides a healthy model of what the church is primarily to be about. As is true of each believer, each church family will have specific and unique ministry areas. Yet foundational to our fellowship are the constant and unwavering commitment to prioritize these aspects of church body life.
Apostle’s Teaching: (2 Tim 3:16) The Bible is God’s Word. We teach cover to cover, book by book, chapter by chapter, and verse by verse through the Bible, consistently.
Fellowship: (John 13:34-35) The mark of disciples of Jesus Christ is love one to another. We encourage spending time with each other, praying for one another, and assisting one another as brothers and sisters. In other words, “doing life together” is our motto.
Breaking of Bread: (Luke 22:17-20) Communion (along with baptism), is an important element in our spiritual life. We provide times each month to reflect, remember, and rejoice in the body and blood of our Savior.
Prayers: (Luke 18:1) “Pray Always!” said Jesus. We are committed to regular times of prayer for thanksgiving, direction, supplication, and intercession. The best way to learn to pray is to pray!
