Our Vision.

V.B.C. (Valparaiso Baptist Church) is a group of believers that desire to make a difference in their community. Most people, nowadays, see church as a place to hear the “rulebook” or the “to-do-list.” Our people see church as so much more. We know that church, as Jesus envisioned it, is more than these old stereotypes. In step with Jesus’ teachings, V.B.C. is a vibrant community where we seek to love God supremely and love our neighbor as ourselves. Jesus taught us that all of scripture hinges upon these two simple commands. So, in light of this teaching, our church strives to keep the main thing, the main thing because as scripture teaches us, we know “love can do no wrong to a neighbor.”

“Owe no one anything, except to love each other, for the one who loves another has fulfilled the law. For the commandments, “You shall not commit adultery, You shall not murder, You shall not steal, You shall not covet,” and any other commandment, are summed up in this word: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”  Love does no wrong to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.” (Romans 13: 8-10)
