Machias Valley Baptist Church

Machias, Maine

Our mission is to participate in the Great Commission given by Jesus found in Matthew 28:18-20 and Acts 1:8.

Our vision is to be a body of equipped and employed saints referenced in Ephesians 4:13-16 and to be ever increasing in the fruit of the Spirit found in Galatians 5:22, 23.

Our values are found in Acts 2:42-47 to be a church devoted to the teaching of God’s Word, the fellowship of believers, the worshiping of Christ, the ministry of prayer, and the serving of one another.
