Welcome! The Almaden Valley United Church of Christ is a friendly caring church. We see our vision as:
We are seekers who ask God:
We are a community of believers who are sustained by a basic belief in God, the creator of all things, taught by the example of the life of Jesus Christ, the Savior, and nurtured by the leading of the holy spirit. We recognize the uniqueness of each person as a gift of God, and we uphold the worth and dignity of all individuals. We welcome people from many backgrounds into our church community. We value our (sense of) community as friends and care for each other on a daily basis and in times of joy, sadness, and crisis. We value these connections to each other and to God. We value the way the two interact in special ways. We value our worship setting in-the-round because it embodies for us the centrality of God and our connections to each other as we celebrate our joy and thankfulness. We are a community that focuses on the importance of families and fellowship. We believe strongly in the importance of providing a loving, caring environment where children can grow and develop. We are a community of believers who place a high value on service to others, with a particular emphasis on compassion for all people. We are a group of people who search for meaning and direction for contemporary living. |
