The Magic Valley church of Christ is a non- denominational, self-governing congregation. We hold the Bible to be God’s written Word. The Bible tells us who God is, why He loves us, and what His plans are for us. God’s Word is our only authority for living our lives according to His will for us. We strive to follow the example of Jesus in all that we do. We understand this lifelong journey includes 4 essential elements;
Faith We believe that Jesus is God’s Son. His life on earth has shown us God's love. By dying on a cross, Jesus took our sins upon Himself, paying the penalty that we deserve. And his resurrection from the grave shows that he is the Lord of all. As an expression of faith and obedience to the Lord Jesus, we are baptized (immersed in water) for the forgiveness of our sins. We are buried with Christ in baptism and raised to a new life. (Romans 6:3-5) God’s grace makes us into a new person, part of God’s family. Jesus desires the deepest of relationship with every person. We are all lovable in his eyes. Community - Jesus said...His followers will be known by their love for each other. Following Jesus is an individual decision, but the journey is made in the company of other followers. Christ offers a new life, a connected life, and in His church all are welcome. (John 3:35)
Service - Jesus said...His followers embrace a life of service. Love for God is demonstrated by showing love to other people, not just in words but in deeds. Jesus leads us to others we can help. (Mark 10:43-44)
Worship - Jesus said...His followers will hear and obey what he says. In worship, we praise God and grow in knowledge of His will for our lives. (John 8:31)
Our worship is simple and Bible-based: we sing together without instruments, pray together, support good works, take communion each Sunday and listen to a message from God’s word.
