About TVCC

Our main reason for being a church is to worship Jesus Christ as our savior. He is God’s son who came to us to tell us the ‘Good News’.

This ‘Good News’ is that we can know our creator God by believing in Jesus. He died for our sins. When we believe in Jesus he forgives us of our sins and we are

‘Born Again’ into his kingdom. Heaven is our destination, and while we live on this earth God comes to live in us. This is really Good News!

The bible is our source book and we believe that God is speaking to us through the bible. This explains why we spend a majority of our time studying the bible.

What we believe–

The birth of The Evangelical Church of North America took place formally, in Portland, Oregon on June 4, 1968. Nevertheless, while it is one of the newest denominations, its roots go deep into history. This heritage in this country goes back to the revivals on the East Coast of our nation in the 1780's during the days of John Wesley. Beyond that, it goes back to the great commission of Jesus Christ our Lord (Matthew 28: 18-20) and to the Church that was born at Pentecost (Acts 2).

The Evangelical Church is orthodox in its beliefs, evangelical in its emphasis, and Wesleyan-Armenian in its interpretation of the scriptural meaning of salvation. Thus its mission is to proclaim the good news of a free and full salvation to all men in this present life. In keeping with this purpose, it puts special emphasis upon the following points of truth:

1. The Divine inspiration, reliability and authority of the Holy Scriptures as the norm of Christian faith and conduct.

2. The estrangement of man from God, from his fellow man, and from his own true being, vocation, and fulfillment of life.

3. The necessity of repentance for sin, justification by faith, the new birth, the direct witness of the Holy Spirit to adoption into the family of God, and entire sanctification, wherein the Christian believer experiences the reality of full inner cleansing from inherited moral depravity, and the indwelling fullness of the Holy Spirit.

4. A life of such inward purity and outward righteousness that marks the Christian as being separate in mind and character from the unsaved multitudes whom he seeks to win to Jesus Christ.

5. The practice of simplicity and freedom in worship, unburdened by elaborate ritual or pagan superstition.

6. A life of total dedication to God, making all Christian service to be a responsible and joyful stewardship to Him.

7. The abundant life of love, righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit, through whose indwelling fullness the Christian is enabled to live victoriously, serve Christ effectively, and look expectantly for His promised return.

We believe these truths are living issues for every age and that the propagation of these truths is the reason for our existence.
