About Vale Christian Church As a Christian Church we do not claim to be the only Christians, or the only church, but we seek simply to be known as Christians and nothing more. Our hope is to unite all people on the basis of their confession and commitment to Jesus Christ as Lord. We Believe…. *In essentials unity, in opinions liberty, in all things love. *That Jesus is God’s only Son and our Savior. *That the Bible is the inspired Word of God. *In the physical birth, death, burial, and bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ. *That we are saved by grace through faith, and there is nothing we can do to save ourselves. *In immersion as the form of baptism for penitent believers. *In the second coming of Christ.
