Village Parkway Baptist Church is a body of baptized believers, called by God, through His saving grace, by faith in the finished work of His Son, Jesus Christ. We are the individual and corporate expression of the redeemed in Christ, ordained by God with Christ as its foundation: united by faith and love in loyalty to Christ with grace to each one provided with a diversity of gifts by God for the equipping of the saints through teaching, fellowship, prayer, worship; for service by word and deed; and as examples of God's redeeming love that the message of salvation may be made known to all. |
