Look at the commands of Jesus The Great Commandment – Mark 12:28-31
· Love God completely – exalt God
· Love your neighbor unselfishly – touch lives
The Great Commission – Matthew 28:19-20
· Go and make disciples – change hearts
· Teaching them what I have commanded – grow disciples
· Baptizing them – build community

At Golden Valley Baptist Church we understand that our purpose includes five elements:
1. Exalting God – Worship
2. Touching lives – Ministry
3. Changing hearts – Evangelism
4. Growing disciples - Discipleship
5. Building community – Fellowship

You will find that all we do revolves around these 5 God-given purposes for our church. These 5 are also God’s will for each individual person. Join us as we carry out the purposes of God for our lives and for our church!

Vision Statement

We believe that God’s vision for Golden Valley Baptist Church is to create a place where the hurting, the depressed, the frustrated, and the confused can find love, acceptance, help, hope, forgiveness, guidance, and encouragement. 

            We recognize that God vision includes sharing the Good News of Jesus with the thousands of residents in Golden Valley and our part of Mohave County.

            We firmly believe that God desires our church to become a center in the community for meeting the wide variety of needs of residents of Golden Valley.

            A vital part of that vision is that we are to be engaged equipping people for spiritual growth through Bible studies, small groups, seminars, and retreats.  As people grow they must also be equipped for a significant ministry.  We accept God’s challenge to help each believer discover and use the gifts and talents that God has given them..

            In response to the Great Commission we will also empower and equip every member for a personal life mission in the world.  Members will be encouraged and sent by the dozens and hundreds on short-term mission projects throughout Arizona, the United States, and other parts of the world.

            God’s vision for our church also includes planting new churches in areas of need on a regular basis.

            To fulfill God’s vision for GVBC, we will plan and build a functional and attractive church campus with an expandable auditorium seating in excess of 500; centers for youth, children, and recreation; a community center for meeting needs in the valley including food pantry, clothing ministry, counseling, recovery groups, job training, resource information and more; and adequate educational space for Bible study, discipleship, fellowship, and small-group ministries.
