Altadena Valley Presbyterian Church desires to be a place where the power of the gospel changes lives for the glory of God.
This purpose is expressed through the following eight core values. These are the beliefs that are of greatest importance to us as a church.
- The gospel is central to everything in the believer’s life, both at conversion and as the believer grows and matures in the Christian faith.
- God’s glory and not our own is our greatest desire.
- Prayer is a primary part of ministry, not secondary.
- Worship is to be God-centered, not man-centered.
- The church is a community of people in fellowship with one another, not just a place where Christians can work individually on their growth in holiness.
- Outreach to others, not our own comfort, is the focus of our ministry.
- We are to make disciples, and not just converts.
- We are to love others with deeds as well as words.
