We are a growing church family in Dayton, sharing life together and engaging our city with the Gospel.
Our Vision
To declare, embody, and display the kingdom of God in Dayton.
We seek to declare the kingdom of God by prayerfully proclaiming, teaching, and sharing the truth of the biblical gospel. We seek to embody the kingdom of God by being a community that sacrificially shares life with, loves, and serves one another. We seek to display the kingdom of God by being hospitable to our city and in going public with our faith by doing good works in our city.
Our MISSION
To make and be disciples of Jesus in Dayton.
A disciple of Jesus is someone who trusts in Jesus and is committed to obeying him. Our mission begins with our being disciples of Jesus, seeking to love God with all our hearts and our neighbors as ourselves. We also want to help others trust in and obey Jesus, as well, by speaking about Jesus and bringing people into his family. Through our faithfulness to be disciples in the world, our desire is to see the lost elect be brought into the church where we make disciples. Through our faithfulness to make disciples in the church, our desire is to see the people of Veritas transformed and released into the world to be disciples.

Our Confession
From the time of the Apostles until now, Christians have laid out beliefs in brief, definitive statements. As those who know God, we believe that it’s necessary to set forth, in a concise way, the cornerstone truths of our church, as guided by the Scriptures. Our Confession of Faith summarizes Christian beliefs, shows our unity in Christ, and guards the Church from error.
As Christians, we confess the Apostle’s Creed, the Nicene Creed, and the Athanasian Creed with the church throughout the ages. In addition to that, we also confess the Abstract of Principles 1859. Our desire is that, in having a clear confession of faith, we promote clarity, charity, humility, and unity within our congregation and with the universal church.
