Our Beliefs

We invite you to explore our beliefs and join us in our pursuit of living out our faith in boldness and passion.

  • Christianity

    We believe in a big tent Christianity where Christ is our center and goal, the Holy Spirit is our guide, and the great cloud of witnesses is our companion on the journey. We believe this brings glory to the God in whom we live and move and have our being.

  • Community

    Our church community is made up of people from many different Christian backgrounds. We have Presbyterians, Methodists, Catholics, Charismatics, Baptists, and Non-Denominational folks who all call LVHPC their church home. Together, we're focused on following Jesus daily, growing together as a church, and sharing God's love with our neighbors.

  • Faith

    We're not afraid of big questions, and we believe faith and doubt are normal parts of Christian faith.

  • Jesus

    We believe the church only has one story to tell, and that is the story of Jesus. Together with the historic and global church, we believe two ancient creeds—the Apostles' Creed and the Nicene Creed—tell the story of God's love made known in Jesus Christ.

  • Our Denominational Home

    Our congregation is part of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.). Regionally, we are part of the Presbytery of San Gabriel.

  • A Confessional Church

    Our Presbyterian heritage means we are a confessional church. We believe there are times when the church needs to declare what it believes as a result of studying and praying the Bible. While we do not believe these confessions always get everything right, we do believe they serve as a helpful guide for individuals and churches as they seek to be faithful to Jesus. In the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), these confessions are gathered together in our Book of Confessions.
