Crescent Valley Baptist Church

Our Ministry:
We participate in min­istries in the Victoria area and across the state, country and world through the Guadalupe Baptist As­sociation, the Southern Baptists of Texas Con­vention, and the Southern Baptist Conven­tion. Lo­cally we serve our community through:
Worship: Each Sunday at 11 AM and 6 PM we gather as a Church in worship. Here we praise and honor God through song, prayer and sound Bibli­cal preach­ing and teaching.
Prayer: Prayer is the most important thing we do at Crescent Valley. We emphasize prayer in our corporate wor­ship and in our personal lives, as well as meet­ing for prayer 6 PM every Wednes­day.
Outreach: Every person needs a saving rela­tionship with God through his Son our Lord Je­sus Christ. Because of this, we believe every mem­ber should share the Good News of salvation by grace through faith in Jesus Christ with each person they meet.
Fellowship: At Crescent Val­ley, we be­lieve God has called us to biblical fellowship—to rejoice with those who rejoice and weep with those who weep.

Our Foundation:
At Crescent Valley Baptist Church we be­lieve that to glorify God in this world we must stand on the great Biblical Truths of the Christian Faith:
We stand on the Lordship of Jesus Christ. We believe that Jesus Christ is the eter­nal Son of God and the Lord and Savior of all whom turn from their sin and trust Him.
We stand on the Free Gift of Salvation. We believe that Salvation is God's free gift, which comes by grace through faith in Jesus Christ and cannot be earned or deserved.
We stand on the authority of Scrip­ture. We believe the Bible is the inerrant, infallible, Word of God and thus the only true authority for what we believe and do in the Church as well as in our everyday lives.
We stand on the Fellowship of the Church. We believe the Church is a local fel­low­ship of be­lievers, who, because they love God and one an­other, meet together to honor and praise God through wor­ship, service, and encour­age­ment. We believe the local Church is God’s cho­sen tool to take the Good News to the world.
And, we emphasize our foundations by subscribing to the Baptist Faith and Message 2000, adopted by the Southern Bap­tist Convention, June 14, 2000.

How You Can Join Us:
We invite you to join us. At the end of the serv­ice, while the congrega­tion sings the invitation hymn, you can walk down the aisle to the front of the auditorium, where the pastor will talk with you. You can join in one of three ways:
I. Profession of Faith: Every person needs a saving relation­ship with God by grace through faith in his Son the Lord Jesus Christ. The Bible calls us to turn from our sin and publicly declare faith in Him and be baptized into a local Church fel­lowship. To be a mem­ber of Crescent Valley Baptist Church you must be born again by grace through faith in Jesus Christ.
Here’s how to have a saving relationship with God through his Son:
(1) Agree with God that you are a “sinner”--that you are separated from God by your sin: “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” Romans 3:23.
(2) Realize that your sin will send you to Hell: “For the wages of sin is death (Hell), but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 6:23
(3) Realize that you must be changed to have a saving relationship with God: “Jesus answered and said to Him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God.” John 3:3
(4) Believe that Jesus provides the only way you can be changed: “Jesus answered, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Fa­ther but through me.” John 14:6
(5) Trust Jesus’ death and resurrection to forgive your sin and make you into a “New Crea­tion” who is saved and right with God: “That if you confess with your mouth Jesus {as} Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; 10 for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation. 11 For the Scripture says, "whoever believes in Him will not be disappointed.”” Romans 10:9-11
(6) Be baptized into a local Church fel­low­ship as a public sign of your faith.
II. Letter: If you are a member of another South­ern Baptist Church, you can move your mem­ber­ship by telling us where you are cur­rently a mem­ber. We then contact that Church and re­quest your membership letter from them.
III. Statement: We re­ceive members from other churches who do not, or are unable to grant a letter, yet provide a baptism of like faith and order. Our pas­tor will advise you con­cern­ing this mat­ter.
