Who We Are

GOD
We believe that there is one God who is the Creator of everything and that he exists in three co-equal and co-eternal persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
(Deuteronomy 6:4; Matthew 3:16-17, Hebrews 1:2-3)

HUMANITY
We believe that God created us in his image to worship him and give him glory, but as a result of original sin, we are born lost and powerless to save ourselves. This is true of both men and women, who are equal partners in God's mission and reflect his beauty, goodness, and creativity.
(Genesis 1:26-27; Matthew 4:10; Galatians 3:28)

MISSION
We believe that God is a sending God who cares about the needs of all people and that the church, as Christ’s body, is to show his love and care for others. Every member of the church is sent out by Jesus as a minister of the gospel, declaring the love of Christ with our lips and demonstrating the love of Christ with our lives — not only in our communities but also to the farthest and most unreached places of the world.
(Isaiah 49:6; Matthew 28:18-20; John 20:20; 1 Timothy 2:3-4)

GOSPEL
We believe that the gospel is the good news of Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection and is the foundation of our faith. The gospel is the central message that while we were dead in our sin, God sent his son Jesus to live a perfect life on our behalf, die a substitutionary death to pay the penalty for our sin, and rise again from the grave to offer us new life in his Spirit. We believe that the gospel is not earned by good works, but received by faith and given freely by the grace of God who loves all people.
(Acts 2:22-2:39; Galatians 3:13; 1 Corinthians 15:3-15)

THE  CHURCH
We believe that following Jesus means being a part of the church, the body of Christ, a movement of disciple-making disciples. As such, the church exists to be a family for the purpose of mutual encouragement, spiritual growth, accountability, and as a missional hub for the gospel. We believe in the ordinances of baptism and The Lord's Supper.
(1 Corinthians 12:12-31; Ephesians 4:11-16; Colossians 1:18-20; 1 Peter 2:9)

THE BIBLE
We believe all of Scripture to be God’s inspired Word, a true and accurate account of God’s love for us. Its purpose is to make known the salvation offered through Jesus, teach us how to have a relationship with him, worship him, and bring him glory.
(Psalm 19:7-10; 2 Timothy 3:15-17)

ETERNITY
We believe in the bodily resurrection of the saved and the lost, the eternal conscious existence of all mankind either in heaven or hell and in divine judgments, rewards, and punishments. We believe that Jesus Christ will return in person to earth in power and glory.
(John 5:29; Acts 1:11; Revelation 19-20)

On November 7th, 1999, Snoqualmie Valley Alliance was built on the bright-eyed belief that following Jesus is an act of joy, and His church should reflect that. Our founding roots grew in an elementary school cafeteria with nine families, grateful to God for the blessing to preach the Gospel.
Fast forward to today, our Fall City campus has been home to thousands of individuals and families, and the efforts of our congregation has reached many across the globe. Our unquenched passion here at SVA is to provide quality over quantity and to reach the unchurched and de-churched with the relevant, life-changing message of Jesus Christ.
