At The Valley Remnant Church, our mission is rooted in the truth of God’s Word and the calling He has placed on His people. Our mission statement, “Take root in Christ, Bear fruit in life,” comes directly from Isaiah 37:31 (CSB):
“The surviving remnant of the house of Judah will again take root downward and bear fruit upward.”
This verse beautifully captures the essence of our calling. Just as God promised to establish the remnant of Judah, He is doing the same in His people today—rooting us deeply in Christ and causing us to bear fruit in our lives as we follow Him. Being a “remnant” means that we are God’s chosen people, set apart by His grace, and called to live lives that reflect His goodness and truth.
The name The Valley Remnant Church reflects this identity: though we are a small, faithful group in a world of spiritual desolation, we are God’s preserved people, rooted in His Word. And just as God promised His people in the past, He promises to establish and strengthen us in the faith. Our mission is simple but profound: to grow deeply in Christ, strengthen each other in the faith, and bear fruit in our daily lives—fruit that reflects His character and advances His kingdom.
From a Reformed Baptist perspective, this calling is not just a personal one, but a corporate one. According to the 1689 Baptist Confession of Faith, the Church is composed of the elect, those whom God has called to Himself. This calling is not passive; it compels us to live in obedience, to be faithful in all things, and to walk in the truth of God’s Word, by the power of the Holy Spirit. The Church exists to glorify God, to make disciples, and to spread the gospel. This is our mission: to be a church that faithfully teaches the Word of God, equips believers for service, and lives out the gospel in our community.
As The Valley Remnant Church continues to grow and establish roots, our vision is clear: we want to strengthen the saints—the body of Christ—through solid biblical teaching, discipleship, and mutual accountability. We desire to help each believer understand the Word more deeply and obey it more fully, all by the power of the Holy Spirit. Our purpose is to raise up mature believers who are equipped to live out their faith and serve God’s kingdom.
And as we grow and are further established, Lord willing, we also have a vision to raise up pastors and church planters who will carry the gospel into the surrounding communities. We are praying that, in time, we will be able to plant and establish independent Reformed Baptist churches, continuing the work of making disciples and advancing the gospel in our region. Our hope is that the mission of The Valley Remnant Church will multiply, reaching beyond our local congregation to see new works raised up for the glory of God.
