MVC's Ministries

Murrieta Valley Church ministries are designed to exalt Christ and manifest His Kingdom through the power of the Spirit to the glory of the Father as His covenant people.

We believe that transformation occurs through a deepening awareness and application of the gospel that transforms the entire person. Our goal is not simply more information, but deeper transformation in Christ.

In our classes, counseling, worship services, small groups, activities and events we seek to equip our congregation with the Gospel-centered worldview and skills necessary to grow in fellowship with God, in community with one another and in service to others.

Our lives are to be lived in mission, whether in renewing the world around us, serving others, or bolder witness. We hope to equip people at MVC that they might engage the world with greater effectiveness, courage and hope.

We believe that serving in a ministry goes far beyond performing a necessary task…it’s also about becoming a part of the church community and about serving one another the way that Christ served us.

Christians waste their time if they interact only with academic and hypothetical critics, but not with the man-on-the-street in the flesh. In fact, the majority of interactions we have will be informal and casual encounters with those in need of the gospel.

Joining a Church the Ancient Way: From Clement to Egeria

How did a person join a congregation in the earliest days of Christianity? From one perspective, the question is easy to answer. Simply put, believer’s baptism was the church’s rite of entry down to the early fourth century. But—and no surprise here—there was more to it than that.
