About Us

Our mission and our values demonstrate who we are and flow from what we believe.

Our Mission

“We exist to worship God, walk with Christ, and witness to the world.”

1

Worship God

God is worthy of all praise. He calls us, by his mercy, to devote every aspect of our lives to him. By the grace of Jesus Christ, we desire to honor him through the way that we live. We worship Him together through the reading and teaching of God’s word, singing, prayer, and care for one another.

Walk with Christ

God sent His son to die on the cross for the forgiveness of our sins. This is the gospel of Jesus Christ. Having received this good news by faith, we are called to turn from sin and follow Christ’s example. We joyfully pursue the study of God’s word, prayer, and fellowship to mature as disciples of Jesus Christ.

Witness to the World

God’s desire is that people from every tribe, tongue, and nation would worship and enjoy Him. Christ calls us to be His witnesses to the world. Therefore, we love our neighbors in word and deed so that many will know Christ and receive the same freedom, forgiveness, and life that we have through Him.

Here's What We Value as a Church

The core values of any organization reflects who it is and what it believes. At Valley Creek Church, we have seven core values we share with the churches of Sovereign Grace Churches.

Gospel-Centered

It’s all about Jesus. From beginning to end, the Bible points us to the amazing reality that God has been merciful to sinners by sending Jesus. We want to display God’s glory by celebrating, proclaiming, and living the gospel through the power of the Holy Spirit.

Reformed

Based on the Scriptures alone, we believe that salvation is by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone, for the glory of God alone. God has graciously chosen a people from every tribe, tongue, and nation. We are glad recipients of his marvelous grace.

Continuationist

To do what Jesus has commanded us to do, we need power. Thankfully, God himself provides this power through the Holy Spirit who lives in every believer. The Holy Spirit empowers us for life and mission and gives supernatural gifts to build up the church, just as he did in the book of Acts.

Complementarian

Men and women, while different, are both created in the image of God to display the glory of God by reflecting the relationships of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit and of Christ to the church. According to God’s good design, men and women play distinct, but complementary, roles in the church and the home.

Elder-Governed

Jesus Christ reigns as head over the church, and he gives his church elders (pastors) to govern and lead under his authority. We believe that men, qualified by both character and gifting, are to serve as elders by loving God’s people.

Interdependent​

In the Bible, we see the importance of interdependence among God’s churches. At Valley Creek, we seek to express a similar interdependence with other Sovereign Grace churches throughout the world, through our common fellowship, mission, and governance. This allows us to do far more together than we ever could alone.

Missional

We believe Jesus has called the whole church to be on mission until the day that he returns, and so God's mission is not an extra-curricular activity to us, but a lens through which we see all of our lives.

Partnerships

We enjoy a rich relationship with churches in the Malvern area and the broader United States. Our partnerships help us to care for our members and advance the gospel.

Sovereign Grace churches are built on strong commitments, faithful theological convictions, and generous support.
