Bible
We believe the 66 books of the Christian Bible to be the only inspired, infallible, and authoritative Word of God.
Â
God
God is the only being that exists that was never created. Everything on Earth, the Cosmos, and Heaven, was created by Him and for Him. God has no beginning and no end. God exists equally in 3 persons Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.Â
Jesus
Jesus is both fully God and fully human. He lived a sinless life and died as the perfect sacrifice on the cross. Today Jesus sits at the right hand of God the Father and one day will return. Jesus is at the heart of everything we teach and strive to be.
Sin
We are all born sinners. Sin separates us from God the Father. The punishment for sin is an eternity in Hell.
Salvation
We are all born sinners. Sin separates us from God the Father. The punishment for sin is an eternity in Hell.
Baptism
Baptism happens after one is saved from their sins by trusting in Jesus. Baptism does not save, but it is a defining statement of a commitment to Jesus and illustrates what Jesus has done in the Christian’s life.
Â
As a church, we have adopted the Baptist Faith and Message 2000. Click here for a full statement of our beliefs with scripture.
What We Value
Matthew 22:37-39
He said to him, “Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the greatest and most important command. The second is like it: Love your neighbor as yourself.
2 Corinthians 9:7
Each person should do as he has decided in his heart—not reluctantly or out of compulsion, since God loves a cheerful giver.
Acts 2:46
Every day they devoted themselves to meeting together in the temple, and broke bread from house to house. They ate their food with joyful and sincere hearts.
Luke 10:41-42
The Lord answered her, “Martha, Martha, you are worried and upset about many things, but one thing is necessary. Mary has made the right choice, and it will not be taken away from her.”
Matthew 28:19
Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who is Allowed to Come/Am I Welcome?
Everyone, regardless of religious background, is welcome at ValleyLight Church. At ValleyLight, you will find people from Catholic, Charismatic, Latter-day Saints, non-denominational, Baptist, and with no religious background. ValleyLight is made up of people from different walks of life, marital status, economic status, political preferences, and ethnicities. All are welcome to attend.
Â
Is There a Dress Code?
Come dressed as you are comfortable. If you like a suit and tie or wearing pantyhose, you are welcome to wear them. If it is hot outside and you want to wear shorts, then wear shorts. Jeans are always welcome and what you are most likely to see. At ValleyLight, we are more concerned with what is happening on the inside than how you look outside.
Â
What Type or Denomination is ValleyLight?
ValleyLight is a non-denominational, independent church and has local church governance. ValleyLight partners with the Send Network and Southern Baptist Convention to support church planting, international missions, and pastoral education.
Â
Why Start a Church in West Valley?
 There is a lack of Evangelical Churches in Utah and more so in West Valley and Magna. We are thankful for the other Westside churches and pray for their continued success. There simply are not enough churches.  We believe in the Bible Focused, Christ-Centered, and Outreached minded emphasis of Evangelical Churches.Â
Where Does the Money for ValleyLight Come From?
ValleyLight has multiple local and national partners providing support to ValleyLight Church.
Â
Why Does ValleyLight Meet in a School?
In short, a local Christian Church is made up of like-minded Christians gathering to grow, encourage, and minister with one another and not a building. Buying or building property in Utah is expensive. Being an independent church also means ValleyLight is responsible for buying our own building. As ValleyLight grows and matures as a church, there is a chance, we could purchase a more permanent meeting space. Until then, we are thankful to be able to meet in a school.
Â
What Bible Translation Do You Use?
The primary translation we will use is the Christian Standard Version. Other versions commonly used by members include New International Version, New King James Version, and English Standard Version. We use the Christian Standard Version for its use of the oldest and most reliable manuscripts currently available and for its balance of readability and faithfulness to the original text.
