Vision and Mission

Welcome! We're a modest-sized family church near the Almaden Valley. Our vision is for broken and captive people to be set free in Jesus Christ (Luke 4:18-19). Our mission is to make disciples of lives changed by God and send them out!

Our Statement of Faith | What We Believe

We believe in the one true God, who exists eternally in three persons: God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit.

Deuteronomy 6:4 | Mark 12:32 | James 2:19 | Exodus 3:14 | Psalm. 90:2 | John 5:26 | Matthew 3:16-17 | Matthew 28:19 | 2 Corinthians 13:14 | 1 Peter 1:1-2

God the Father

God is the Creator of the universe and all that exists within it. He is all powerful, righteous, holy, and loving .  

Genesis 1 | Jeremiah 32:17 | Psalm 33:9 | Jeremiah 10:12 | Luke 1:37 | Revelation 1:9 | Revelation 19:6 | Romans 1:17 | Psalm 119:137 | Deuteronomy 32:4 | Isaiah 6:3 | Leviticus 19:2 | Revelation 4:8 | Ezekiel 34:6 | Psalm 86:15 | Psalm 136 | Zephaniah 3:17 | Ephesians 2:4-5 | 1 John. 3:1 | 1 John 4:19 | Romans 5:8

God the Son

God the Son, whose name is also Jesus Christ, is not a created being. He is the firstborn over all creation, by very nature equal to God the Father. Loving the world, God the Father sent His Son to be born a man, conceived by the Holy Spirit of a virgin. He was crucified for the sins of the world and rose from the dead on the third day. He has completed for us a perfect salvation so men and women can be made righteous with God through faith. He ascended into heaven, and from there He shall return.

John 1:1-3 | Colossians 2:9 | Colossians 1:15 | Philippians 2:6 | John 3:16 | Luke 1:35 | Matthew 1:22-23 | Luke 1:34 | John 1:14, 29| Philippians 2:7-8 | 1 John 2:2 | Acts 2:30-32 | 1 Corinthians 15:6 | Hebrews 10:10-14 | Romans 3:21-25 | Acts 1:8-11 | 1 Corinthians 15:51-52 | 1 Thessalonians 4:13-17 | Revelation 19:1-6

God the Holy Spirit

God the Holy Spirit is the Counselor sent by the Father. He has personality and is a full member of the Trinity. The Holy Spirit convicts men and women of sin and leads them to repentance. It is He who gives spiritual rebirth who sanctifies. He dwells in the inner beings of believers, leading them into truth. He is the source of the believer’s life, work, and strength.

John 14:16-17;26 | John 16:8, 13 | Acts 5:3-4 | Titus 3:5 | 1 Peter 1:2 | 1 Corinthians 6:18-19

Bible

We believe the Bible to be God-breathed and without error. It is the sole basis of our faith, life, and service as a church of Jesus Christ.

2 Tim. 3:16 | Matt. 5:18 | Psalm 119:89 | John 10:35 | Psalm 19:7-11 | John 17:17 | Romans 10:17 | Hebrews 4:12   

Man

We believe that all the people were made in the image of God but have fallen into sin, for  which the just penalty is eternal death. Only by believing Jesus Christ, who shed His blood for our forgiveness, may we be saved and enter into eternal life.

Genesis 1:26-27 | Romans 3:23-25 | Romans 6:23 | Colossians 1:14 | 2 Corinthians 5:15-21 | John. 11:25 | 1 John 5:11-12

Church

We believe the Church to be the Body of Christ. It consists of all true Christians who have been born again by the Spirit. Christ is the Head of the Church, and all Christians are under His leadership. Together they cooperate to serve God, spread the Gospel, lead men and women to Christ, and bear witness to the resurrection of the Lord. Local churches are the groups formed by men and women for these specific purposes in their respective locations.

1 Corinthians 12:27 | Ephesians 1:22 | Colossians 1:18 | Matthew 28:19
