Fragments of Truth

Many skeptics claim that we cannot trust the Bible.  But in a new documentary film, Fragments of Truth, Dr. Craig Evans tracks down the most ancient New Testament manuscripts and highlights new evidence for the reliability of the scriptures. 

The film will be in theaters for one night only, April 24 at 7pm.  The nearest showing will be in Olympia at the Capital Mall Theatre, 625 Black Lake Blvd SW.  Tickets may be purchased in advance at www.cinemark.com.

The Onalaska Community Kids Camp 2018 will be happening in June!  A meeting to plan and prep for kids camp will be held at Jackson Prairie Church at

A first aid/CPR class will be offered at the church on Saturday, May 5. The cost is $20 per person, payable by cash or check to the instructor. Those needing a refresher course/renewing their certification will meet from 10 am to noon.

The newbie class will start at 12:30pm.

On Sunday, May 6, the ladies will have a plants and arts and crafts sale to help cover the cost of their retreat.  You can buy gifts for Mother’s Day, or plants for your garden.  May is a great time to plant!  If you would like to donate plants, arts or crafts to be sold, it would be very much appreciated.

Beginning Wednesday, April 11th, a new 10 week Women's Bible Study will begin at the church at 9:00 a.m.

We will be watching the DVD Series "A Tour Through Prophecy" by Dr. David Jeremiah.

Join us as we explore this very pertinent topic by one of the nation's foremost Christian voices. For questions please call 360-748-4689.

The women's BSF classes are registering now for the next study starting mid-Sept., People of the Promised Land Part 1, which covers the nation of Israel from Joshua to Solomon. The major themes are provision, holiness, faithfulness, and leadership.

The Wednesday class with a preschool program is at St. John's Lutheran Church, 2190 Jackson Highway, in Chehalis.

The Thursday class is at Shoestring. 

Both classes and preschool are from 9:30-11 am and are provided at no charge.

When we study and apply Scripture, we find ourselves in accord with God, we are a light in our families, and we love serving our communities.

Contact Judy Parks with any questions or to register at 360-623-0194 or   .

Shoestring is a place to belong and a place to grow.   A great way to build friendships and grow in Christ is to join one of our Home Groups.  These are small groups that get together during the week to discuss God’s word, pray, encourage one another, and reach out to friends and neighbors.

We have a number of groups meeting in homes around Lewis County on various nights of the week.  Check out the information on the opposite page to find a group that’s a good fit for you.

The 2018 SVCC annual calendar is available in the literature rack in the lobby.

Good news! Many books are being checked out of the church library!!

Not so good news. Some of those books have been missing for months even though the last person who signed the check-out card has returned them. That most likely means some people have forgotten to sign the check-out card when borrowing the books. Some of those books are listed here. Please check to see if they’re hiding at your home!

Our Church Motto

Teaching and living the truth of God’s grace.

Our Church Purpose Statement

SVCC has a vision to minister three realities near and far.  We aim to be a place:

• where sin-prone, sin-bound people regularly experience God’s grace, so that they might be saved and eagerly grow in Christ.
• where grace-loved people are trained to apply relevant biblical truth, so that grace rebuilds lost foundations of spiritual, personal, family, and community life.
• where grace-loved and truth-trained people gratefully pass along the good things in Christ that they’ve received so that the chain of grace continues unbroken.

Our Church Covenant

• We commit ourselves, by the grace of God
• to build up our fellow Christians.
• to be active participants in congregational life.
• to guard the unity and purity of the church.
• to advance the mission of the church.

Our Church Mission Statement

Our mission is Christ’s mission – extending his kingdom by sending out his people to reach the world with his gospel.  This will be done:

• by equipping our members to become effective disciple-makers in their personal sphere of influence.
• by planting disciple-making churches in Lewis County, and
• by adopting an unreached people group and laboring to see them won to Christ.
