• FDAV is a non-denominational, independent church. We are not affiliated to any other church organization. We are simply a group of believers that love JESUS, follow HIS word, value others, and allow HIM to lead us according to HIS Holy Spirit in us. We strive to be the bride of Christ, and HIS reflection on this earth.

Q.)  Is FDAV a “Hispanic” church?

• FDAV is a vibrant, multicultural, bilingual church that strives to be a community of faith, hope and love with a passion to transform lives that will impact the world. We use every tool, including language, that God is given us to share the good news and love of Jesus. We welcome people of all walks of life to come just as they are – come and meet Jesus!

Q.)  What’s your dress code?

• Everyone is welcome just as they are! Our main focus is not on people’s appearances, but on Jesus!

Q.)  What are your central beliefs as a church?

• One Holy God – Eternally existent in three persons: The Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
• The Holy Bible – The inspired, infallible, authoritative source of Christian belief and teaching.
• Man – Created in the image of God but fallen, lost and powerless to save himself.
• Jesus Christ – Virgin-born Son of God Who was crucified to take upon Himself the punishment for the sin of all mankind. He arose from the dead, thereby conquering sin, death and the grave. Jesus will personally return to the earth in power and glory.
• Man’s Only Hope – Believe in Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord.
• We Celebrate – Water Baptism (full submersion in the Name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.) and Holy Communion are among the ways we celebrate our hope in Jesus Christ.
• Healing – Consistent with His earthly ministry, Jesus Christ still offers healing for the physical, relational and emotional pain in our lives.
• The Holy Spirit – Indwells those who receive Christ and empowers believers to live righteous and holy lives. The Baptism of the Holy Spirit, along with its evidences, and the Gifts of the Spirit are available to believers today.
• Lifestyle – When a life is changed by the love of Christ, we begin a journey of becoming like Christ. It is displayed inwardly with love, joy, and peace. It is displayed outwardly in lives of integrity and is shown relationally by love and grace.
• Someday – Life, as we know it, will come to an end. Jesus will return and show Himself to be “King of Kings.” Everyone will be held accountable for the choices of their lives. A permanent, personal relationship with God, without the influence of evil and pain will be established for all who chose Christ. This will be heaven . . . forever.
• The Church – The Body of Christ, of which Jesus Christ is the head, is comprised of all those who, through belief in Christ, have been spiritually changed by the personal work of the Holy Spirit. Believers are called to pursue God’s mission, both collectively and individually. For some it is a vocation (pastors, missionaries, etc.), for all . . . a passion
