Church In The Valley - Ontario Ranch Campus

This message will show a clear path to grow in maturity and contribute to the mission at CIV. We'll take a look at our plas for the coming year and how members and guests can CONNECT (to Christ and the church", GROW (toward maturity) and REACH (help others come to Christ and connect to the body).

What is Christian maturity and how do I grow toward it? Real progress is made as you freely choose to obey God and adopt His values system.

We can endure the race God has given us as we rely on God and in the power He gives us. This message will also focus on how God helps us by providing us people to serve and people who serve us. God has designed life for us to succeed and not fail--and we will look into what this looks like.

This message looks at what it means to surrender to the Lordship of Christ and the hindrances that we face along the way, even when we do make Him boss. The goal of this message is to show how we cannot experience true blessing until we decide that we're not going to hold anything back from God.

As you invest in the people around you God opens doors to share the message. Joining the adventrue means learning to follow God through open doors and understanding His purpose in the doors that close.

God brings people together to love, serve and encourage one another so that others want to join in and be included in the group.

The core message of Christianity is powerful. Our role in the adventrue is to know the message and share it whenever we have opportunity.

God advances His work throught the prayers of His people. To fulfill God's purpose we must ask Him for the help we need and rely on Him to do the things that we can't.

God's Spirit begins and leads the early church. He is a witness and provides motivation and leadership we must follow in order to join in the adventure. This message shows ho the Spirit leads and what we do to follow.

God has given us a key role in fulfilling His purpose and wants us to start right were we live (in our neighborhood and city).

God wants church members to work as a team to accomplish the mission He has assigned us. There are four characteristics that will help the church be the best team possible to accomplish legendary things for God's purpose and with God's help.

God has a growing family- His legendary teams accept one another and keep on growing by adding to their number.

A legendary team stays "sharp" in the way they approach things. Sharp: alert competence and clear understanding shown in a resourceful, enthusiastic way.

A legendary team and its members are proactive--they have a "can do" attitude and take initiative to do right and accomplish our purpose.

At CIV, we value a godly cohesion (cohesion: to stick together tightly). A legendary team chooses to be loyal and trust one another, which builds unity and brings results to glorify God

Your heart plays a major role in financial freedom. Learning to guard it and keep it in check keeps you inside the guardrails on the road to financial freedom.

God's perspective on work will help you find satisfaction in it and help you make the right kind of progress on the road to financial freedom.

Being a godly parent is a crucial role we can play to help our children fulfill God's purpose in their generation and experience true fulfillment. The heritage of godly parents is a priceless inheritance.

God commands His people to give for their own good--it brings God's protection and blessing (like obedience).

Debt is strongly discouraged in Scripture because it can put you in bondage so that you are not completely free to love others or obey God
