A LITTLE CHURCH HISTORY, ••

Crown Valley Community Church began in 1988 with a
meeting of our pastor, Terry Speer, and several families who
were committed to the Lordship Jesus Christ and the suprema-
cy of .God's Word, the Bible. After a season of prayer, weekly
Bible studies were begun. In November of 1988, we held our
first Sunday School and Worship Service, with about seventy-
five in attendance. At this time, our AWANA Club was also
formed to reach out to the children and their families in the com-
munity and was blessed with a growing number ever since.
In the nine years that CVCC has been in existence we have
grown to a Sunday morning attendance of between 180 and
200. Our Sunday Services are held in the gymnasium of High
Desert School while our AWANA Club meets in the Acton
Elementary School. Ground was broken for our new church
building in 1995 and we anticipate the Lord's provision for its I
completion.
The Lord has blessed CVCC with men, women and children
who have a heart to serve Him in evangelistic outreaches, par- I
ticularly to the homeless and needy. Some reach out with food,
clothing, Bibles and the Gospel message to those who live on
the streets of L.A. Others minister regularly at the Union
Rescue Mission and to the women battling substance addiction
nity bringing food, clothing, and the Word of God to those in I
at the L.A. Mission. Another group visits the Hispanic commu-

need while others provide Bible studies and a craft outreach to
the men and women of the Acton Rehabilitation Center. I
The mission of CVCC can be summed up in the words of
the apostle Paul found in Timothy 1 :5, "But the goal of our
instruction is love from a pure heart and a good conscience and I
a sincere faith."
