We have a growing community of people from everywhere that join us online for our Sudnay LIVE services. You can tune in at vccfresno.online.church Sundays at 10:00am.
You can also find us on Youtube (attach our link on the word youtube)

Friendly people will say hello and help you with anything you may need.
A live band will play 3 songs.
Pastor Rene or some of our other pastors will teach a message from the Bible that is easy to understand, challenges you and allows you to apply it your life.
We will have a time that if you need prayer for anything, our team is available for you.
The entire service is about one hour.
Plan to stick around after service to grab a coffee from the Way Cafe, meet some people, get info if you need it and let the kids play a little longer on the playground.

For sure!! We have an awesome kids church where they will learn how to know, grow and show the love of Jesus. They will sing some songs, make a craft, and play on the playground. Our Kids team volunteers are all background checked and want to make sure your kiddo has the best time. We have a check in counter right when you walk up to the campus, a volunteer will be there to help you if you need it.

Clothes for sure. Other than that, just come as you are.

No worries! Our goal is to help people experience God by keeping it simple. If you are visiting for the first time, we totally get that people just want to pop in unnoticed for their first couple visits. The main thing is we want you to feel welcomed and have an opportunity to experience God before you leave. That is our prayer for you.

What We Believe

We believe the Bible is God-inspired (2 Timothy 3:16, 17).

We believe God is Triune: Father, Son and Holy Spirit (2 Corinthians 13:14).

We believe man was created in the image of God, but that by voluntary disobedience he fell from perfection (Romans 5:12).

We believe that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us, signing the pardon for all who believe in Him (John 3:16; Romans 5:8).

We believe we have no righteousness and must come to God, pleading the righteousness of Christ (Ephesians 2:8).

We believe that upon sincere repentance and a wholehearted acceptance of Christ, we are justified before God (Romans 10:6-10; 1 John 1:9).

We believe the change which takes place in the heart and life at conversion is a very real one (2 Corinthians 5:17; Galatians 2:20).

We believe it is the will of God that we are sanctified daily, growing constantly in the faith (Hebrews 6:1).

We believe baptism by immersion is an outward sign of an inward work (Matthew 28:19). We believe in the commemoration of the Lord’sSupper by the symbolical use of the bread and the juice of the vine (1 Corinthians 11:24, 25).

We believe the baptism with the Holy Spirit empowers believers and that His incoming is after the same manner as in Bible days (Acts 2:4).

We believe it is the will of God that we daily walk in the Spirit (Ephesians 4:30-32).

We believe the Holy Spirit has gifts to bestow upon the Christian (1 Corinthians 12:1-11) and that we should show spiritual fruit as evidence of a Spirit-filled life (Galatians 5:22).

We believe the experience and daily walk of the believer should never lead him into extremes of fanaticism (1 Timothy 2:8-10; Colossians 3:17; Philippians 4:5).

We believe divine healing is the power of Christ to heal the sick in answer to the prayer of faith (James 5:14-16).

We believe the second coming of Christ is personal and imminent (1 Thessalonians 4:16, 17).

We believe it is our sacred duty to identify ourselves with the visible Church of Jesus Christ (Acts 16:5; Hebrews 10:25).

We believe laws should be upheld at all times, except in things opposed to the will of God (Romans 13:1-5).

We believe some day all shall stand before the judgment seat of Christ to there receive eternal life or death (Revelation 20:11-15; Hebrews 9:27; 2 Corinthians 5:10).

We believe heaven is the glorious eternal home of born-again believers (John 14:1-3; Revelation 7:15-17).

We believe hell is the place of eternal torment for all who reject Christ as their Savior (Revelation 20:10-15).

We believe soul winning is the primary responsibility of the Church (James 5:20).

We believe the method ordained of God for the support and spread of His cause is by giving tithes and free-will offerings (Malachi 3:10; 2 Corinthians 9:7).
