Walking in step with the Holy Spirit
Welcome to Bella Vista Church
We are a Christ-centred, Spirit-led community of believers in Vernon, British Columbia, committed to knowing Jesus, following Jesus, and making disciples who make disciples for the glory of God.
As the Bella Vista Church family, we desire to worship the Father, follow Jesus Christ, walk in step with the Holy Spirit, grow through God’s Word, love one another deeply, and share the hope of Jesus Christ with our community and the world.
Our Mission
“Therefore go and make disciples of all nations… teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.”
Matthew 28:19 to 20
Know Jesus.
Follow Jesus.
Make disciples who make disciples.
Everything we do flows from our desire to walk in step with the Holy Spirit as we love God, love our neighbours, and obey the Great Commission.
“Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit.”
Galatians 5:25
What We Value
“For from him and through him and for him are all things. To him be the glory forever! Amen.”
Romans 11:36
We believe in one God who exists eternally in three Persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
God the Father
We seek to know, love, worship, and obey our Heavenly Father. We recognize that every good and perfect gift comes from Him, and we seek His glory, Kingdom, and will above all.
Jesus Christ, the Son
Jesus is the Head of the Church, our Saviour and Lord, and the centre of everything we do.
The Holy Spirit
We desire to walk daily in the power, presence, and leading of the Holy Spirit.
The Word of God
We believe the Bible is God’s inspired Word and our authority for faith and life.
Discipleship
We believe every follower of Christ is called to grow as a disciple and help make disciples.
Prayer
We seek God’s wisdom, direction, and power through prayer.
Community
We believe the Church is a family where people are loved, encouraged, and equipped to serve.
Mission
We desire to share the love of Christ in practical ways throughout our community and wherever God leads.
What We Believe God Is Calling Us Toward
Our desire is to be a church that equips people to know Christ, grow in their faith, follow Jesus every day of the week, serve others, and help make disciples in their homes, workplaces, schools, neighbourhoods, and around the world.
Our Pastor
Pastor Timothy Anderson has served as Lead Pastor since June 2025.
His desire is to faithfully teach God’s Word, help people know and follow Jesus, and equip the church to make disciples who make disciples.
