Our History
Apple Valley Faith Center (AVFC) was established in 1979 by Myron and Doris Eddy as they were led by God's call into ministry. It began in their house and with growth, moved into a small conference center called the Apple Valley Grange. Soon after, they purchased the land that AVFC still calls home. The Eddy's designed building plans and a group of retired construction workers donated their labor to bring the plans to life. Later Doris Eddy designed another building and started a school. Myron Eddy served as Head Pastor until 1987, when he died and his wife Doris Eddy continued the ministry as Head Pastor.  After Pastor Doris' death in October 2013, her daughter Cheryl Denny was called into the position as Head Pastor.

Our Beliefs
At AVFC, we believe:
  • There is one God, eternally existing as three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (1 Jn 5:7)
  • Jesus Christ is the Son of God who came to earth born of a virgin, lived a perfect life, died a perfect sacrifice for our sins, and rose from the grave on the third day to conquer sins once and for all (Jn 1:14; Mt 1:23; Jn 4:34; 1 Jn 3:5; Rom 8:34)
  • The Bible is the living Word of God and its words are inspired by God (2 Tim 3:16)
  • All have sinned and fall short of God's glory and must receive Jesus as Lord and Savior, believing that He is the Son of God who died for our sins and conquered them through His resurrection in order to have salvation and eternal life in heaven (Rm 3:23; 10:9-10)
  • The Holy Spirit is alive and present in the world and the baptism in the Holy Spirit with all the gifts and fruit is available to every believer (1 Cor 12:4-11; Gal 5:22-25; Lk 11:13)
  • In the power of prayer and healing and that God still uses these today (Jm 5:15;      2 Tim 4:18; Col 1:12-13; Mt 21:23; 1 Tim 2:1)
  • In living by faith (2 Cor 1:20)
  • In the power of the spoken word, and the power of confessing God's Word over our lives, our church and our community (Prov 18:21; Mt 12:35-37; Col 4:6)

Our Mission
Our vision at AVFC is to see everyone in the High Desert:
  • Saved (John 3:16)
  • Baptized in the Holy Spirit (Acts 1:8)
  • Healed (Mark 16:18b)
  • Delivered (Mark 16:17)
  • Tithing & Debt Free (Prov. 22:7, Deut. 8:18)

We also have a vision for uniting all Christians in the High Desert that we might come together and better serve and pray for the community as a whole!  (1 Cor. 12:12-13)
