Blue Valley Church WORSHIP PASTOR

By / Mar 25
Blue Valley Church WORSHIP PASTOR Denomination: SBC Weekly Attendance:  734 Location: Overland Park, KS The Role: Worship Pastor Meet Blue Valley Church: What We Believe We believe that the Bible reveals the Gospel message of Jesus Christ.  For that reason, Southern Baptists like us have summarized our biblical convictions in The Baptist Faith and Message.  While Southern Baptists are not a creedal people, requiring churches or individuals to embrace a standardized set of beliefs, we are a confessional people.  The Baptist Faith & Message represents the confessional consensus of "certain definite doctrines that Baptists believe, cherish, and with which they have been and are now closely identified" (BF&M, preamble) What to Expect You'll find a wide spectrum of attire on both campuses, so come dressed in whatever is comfortable for you.  Regardless of which campus you choose to visit, you'll find clearly designated parking for guests and friendly greeters available at every door ready to assist you in finding your way around.  Our services run approximately 70 minutes and the content is more or less identical on both campuses service to service.  Each service includes an offering, but we don't expect our guests to contribute.  We consider your attendance a gift to us and ask only that you give us contact information when you are comfortable in doing so.  This will allow us to give you information about our church and a small gift.
