Our vision is for each individual at Valley Creek to Worship, Connect and Serve.

Worship

Worshiping Individually
You were created in God's likeness to have fellowship with Him. For your relationship with God to grow, you must spend quality time developing your friendship with Him. We encourage you to: set a specific daily time to meet with God; establish a specific, quiet place for your meetings with God; follow a specific plan for reading God's Word. Open your heart to God in prayer, expressing your concerns, worries, struggles, and needs. True prayer is both talking and listening to God. Allow the insights from your Bible study to be God's voice to you each day.

Worshiping Together
Worshiping God together with other believers should be a top priority. The Valley Creek family is incomplete without your participation in the weekly gathering for worship. This is where we experience God's love and power, learn from biblical teaching, and share life together.

Connect

Connecting to the Family
It is impossible to build meaningful friendships in a large worship service environment. Small Groups are where real, deep, life-changing relationships are made.

Small Groups are:

• Any group of three or more people who gather together for spiritual encouragement.
• Where truth meets life.
• Where you can connect with God and others in an authentic, relevant way.
• Where life transformation happens best.

Connecting to the World
Valley Creek stresses the importance of building bridges of friendship to spiritually lost people, seeking to effectively communicate the message of God's grace and forgiveness. We encourage you to identify and build bridges to friends, coworkers and neighbors who have yet to receive the Lord Jesus Christ. We also ask you to consider how you will impact others for God beyond your local community. At Valley Creek, we are on a mission to serve not only our near neighbors, but also those of different cultures, and in distant lands.

Serve

Serving Others with Your Gifts
No one else in the world has your special combination of experiences, talents, knowledge, and personality. Every person has a contribution to make in order for the church to be healthy and effective. Ministry is not a "spectator sport"! Invest the precious gifts God has given you by helping others. You'll find that getting involved is often when you'll finally connect and feel totally a part of a local church family. So we encourage you to find your place and get involved.

Serving Others with Your Resources
Giving - of your time, money, and resources - is an accurate indication of where your heart is. When we obey God, cheerfully giving back to His Church a tenth of what He's given us, not only do we support ministry leadership, evangelism, discipleship resources, and much more, but He promised to take care of our own needs as well.
