We believe that the bible is the inspired, infallible, and immutable word of God, and error less in its original text.
VHM Believes...
We celebrate the Lord's Supper on the first Sunday of each month, not as a sacrament, but as a memorial feast from which no sincere follower of Christ is excluded. Not denying the true Sabbath, but modeling the New Testament and apostolic example.
"Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again."
Luke 6:38
