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.
