Pastor's Page Welcome to our website! We appreciate your interest in F.S.C.V. We are a fellowship of believers who seek to love and honor God, teach, believe, and practice His word, and love people. We exist to "Magnify the word of God, and mobilize the people of God to carry out the "Great Commandment" to love the Lord our God and love our neighbor as ourselves, and to fulfill the "Great Commission" to make disciples, baptize them in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit and to teach them to obey everything Jesus commanded us." (Mt.22:36-40, Mt. 28:18-20) We are a Southern Baptist Church. Our participation in the Cooperative Program of Missions Giving is what distinguishes us from other Baptist Churches. We join together with ~40,000 other Southern Baptist Churches to supply resources for what is the largest mission organization in the world. We are an independent church, determining our own beliefs and practice under God's leadership. We are a bible believing church holding God's word as our sole source of counsel for belief and practice. We are a compassionate church, accepting all people for who they are, where they are, meeting each person at their point of need with the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. We are a growing church; God is adding to our numbers weekly as we seek to "keep up" with our growing community. Ours is a family church with programs and ministries for all ages. We would love the opportunity to get to know you, and for you to know us. I have been a pastor for 25 years. I was called to "full time Christian service" in 1976 after a radical "conversion" in 1975. After God delivered me from the drug culture and a multitude of addictions He began to work in my life to help others with a similar background. In 1976 I enrolled at Grand Canyon College (now University) where I graduated with a BA in 1980. I am an Arizona native but my wife Carolyn and I moved in 1981 (married in '80) to Louisville Ky. to attend Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. I received a Masters of Divinity Degree in 1984. Carolyn received her Teaching Certificate/Degree from A.S.U. in 1981 and her Masters of Educational Leadership from N.A.U. She is the  Principal at Territorial Elementary School here in Chino Valley. We have 2 children , Rochelle,  25 and Caleb, 21 . God has blessed me with an extraordinary family! We have been here in Chino Valley for 12 years and have grown to love the people and the area. . Please don't hesitate to call (928) 636-2014 if you have any questions about our church. We look forward to meeting you. Sincerely, Pastor Mark Reeder   ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
