Teaching
Ministry
At the hub of all other ministries at Crystal Valley
Baptist is the faithful proclamation of Holy Scripture.
With a heavy conviction to "teach what accords with
sound doctrine," our pastors are committed to
verse-by-verse exposition of the Bible as a primary
means of congregational instruction. |

Worship Ministry
The most appropriate response a believer can make to
God's character and work, as revealed through the
rightful teaching of His Word, is reverent, yet
affectionate, worship. At Crystal Valley Baptist, we aim
to cultivate an atmosphere of God-centered prayer and
praise when we gather for our weekly corporate worship service. |

Fellowship Ministry
The church of God is the people of God.
Like the old children's song goes, "I am
the church, you are the church, we are the
church together." At Crystal
Valley Baptist, we try celebrate this
distinction through the gift of fellowship.
By interacting together, both within the
church house and without, we work to
build community with one another by sharing
together our lives and families. |
