VCBCC is an evangelical church anchored on Jesus Christ, our only Lord and Savior, as its Cornerstone. As such its pastor and members have cast away all claims to self-righteousness but solely depend on the grace of God through the redemptive work of Christ in reconciling sinners back to Himself. We therefore seek to live lives governed by His Word so that as we reach out communities for Christ, His light shines through our lives, making us beacons attracting and guiding them towards our Savior. To ensure unity and order in our corporate lives, we bind ourselves to the four important documents posted in our website:

   1. Our Statement of Faith
   2. The Church Covenant
   3. Our Constitution and By-Laws
   4. Our Vision and Mission Statement

Being led by the Spirit of God to band together as a local expression of the Church, which is the body of those called from among mankind to spiritual union with Christ, we sincerely and joyfully enter into this COVENANT:

1. Because we believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the living God, and have been led by the Spirit of God to depend upon Him alone for our salvation, we will seek to bring every phase of our lives under the Lordship of Christ and the authority of His Word.

2. We unreservedly and with abandon commit our lives and destiny to Christ, promising to give Him priority in all the affairs of life. We will seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness.

3. We commit ourselves, regardless of the expenditures of time, energy, and money, to become mature Christians in our faith, character, and knowledge of God and His purpose in our generation.

4. We will seek, by the aid of the Holy Spirit, to be Christ-like in all relations with one another and with all men, including those of other nations, groups, classes, and races.

5. Because we believe that God is the owner of our total lives and resources, we give God the throne in relation to the material aspects of our lives. Because God is a generous Giver, we too shall be generous, cheerful, and regular in our material giving for His purpose through the Church.

6. We commit ourselves to watch over one another in brotherly love, to pray for each other, to aid one another in sickness and distress, and to not be easily offended but always be ready for reconciliation.

7. We will also maintain family and private devotions; diligently educate our children and bring them up to follow the Lord and His Word; seek the salvation of our relatives and acquaintances; and conduct ourselves carefully in the world.

8. We recognize that the function of the local church is to glorify God in united spiritual worship and sacrificial service, and therefore commit ourselves to regularly assemble together for worship, prayer, instruction in the Scripture, and the observance of ordinances. We also commit to uphold the doctrines and willingly submit to the discipline of the church, and to participate in training that will help us serve Christ better and be God’s missionaries in the world wherever He will lead us.

9. We will endeavor to discern our own spiritual abilities and those of our fellow members and obediently serve and accept the services of one another to Christ and His church as He enables us.
