The Valley
Valley Kingdom Miniseries International is a Word Church, a Working church and a Worship church. Our mantra is we are a Kingdom ministry that is Advancing the Kingdom for the King. VKMI is a cutting-edge ministry that moves in the apostolic anointing and marketplace evangelism. “The Valley” as we are affectionately called, is a blessed church that operates in the south suburban area of Chicago. Our praise and worship is headed by the Double Gold Award ministry Shekinah Glory, who brought you such songs as “Praise Is What I Do”, “How Deeply I Need You, “Yes” and “Jesus.”
Our Vision
VKMI exists not only to witness and lead people to salvation but to also Disciple them. We disciple them through the Word of God, so that they can walk in their purpose and Advance the Kingdom. We will accomplish this by way of the 7 pillars or as we like to call them the 7 Systems of society according to Revelation 11:15.
Revelation 11:15 And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.(KJV)

Our Beliefs
The Bible, God’s Truth
The Bible is the infallible Word of God. It was written by forty men that were inspired by God to write the truth. The Bible will forever be the most important book ever written, as it is read by millions yearly. – Deuteronomy 4:1-2; Psalms 119:11; Isaiah 40:8; 2 Timothy 2:15; 2 Timothy 3:16-17
The Father
God is Our Heavenly Father, Maker and Creator of all things. He is all powerful, all knowing, ever present, unchanging, unfailing – Exodus 3:14; Numbers 23:19, John 3:16, 4:24, 5:26, 14:1; Acts 17:28; Romans 3:3-4
The Son
Jesus Christ is the only way to salvation. He is completely human, yet completely God. He is perfect, in that He is the only One who can be substitute for us. He died on the cross and shed His blood for our sins. He defeated death by way of resurrection so that we can have life. – Isaiah 7:14, 53; John 1:1, 14, 3:16, 17:1-5; Acts 1:9; Romans 3:23-26; Colossians 1:15, 2:9
The Holy Spirit
The third part of the Trinity, the Holy Spirit leads, guides, and protects. The Holy Spirit is the Comforter, sent to earth by God. The Holy Spirit is God, the third person of the Trinity. The Holy Spirit is a person, with mind, will, and emotions. – John 16:7; Acts 5:3-4; 1 Corinthians 2:10-11, 6:19;
The Trinity – Father, Son, and Holy Spirit
God is one, existing as three Persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. Each member of the Trinity serves different functions, but all have equal power and authority. – Genesis 1:2, 1:26; Mark 1:10-11; 1 Corinthians 2:10, 11:23-26, 12:4-7
Man
Man is made in the image of God. Man was created to have fellowship with God. As a result of disobedience, Man cannot maintain a relationship with God on his own. Man is uniquely created, worthy of respect and love. – Genesis 1:26-30; Psalm 8:3-6; Ephesians 2; Colossians 1:21-22
Eternity
God created Man to exist forever. Man will either exist eternally in Heaven or Hell. Unity with God will be in Heaven. Separation from God will be in Hell. – John 3:16, 36; Romans 6:23; 1 John 2:25, 5:11-13; Revelation 20:15
Gifts of the Holy Spirit
Spiritual gifts are given for the edification of the body of Christ. These are chosen and given freely by God. The Holy Spirit empowers us to utilize the gifts as the Lord desires. – 1 Corinthians 12:4-11, 12:28-31; Ephesians 4:11-12
Salvation
Salvation is defined as “the act of being delivered, redeemed, or rescued.” Jesus Christ shed his blood on the cross so we can be free. As a result of this act, we are promised a life of eternity. We are saved by grace through faith. – John 3:16; Ephesians 2:8-9; Romans 3:23, 5:12; Ephesians 2:4-5
Sin
Defined as transgression of the law of God and rebellion against God. The penalty for sin is death. But by faith in Jesus Christ, we have redemption through His blood. – Deuteronomy 9:7; Ephesians 1:7; Romans 3:23, 6:23; 1 John 3:4
Baptism and Communion
These are two of the ordinances of the church. Both give us an opportunity to remember what Jesus Christ did for us. Water baptism symbolizes what Jesus has done for us. By complete immersion in the water, it symbolizes burial with Him, no longer being slaves to self or sin. By being raised out of the water, there is a symbolic resurrection, raised to new life in Christ to live with Him forever. Water baptism by immersion is the Biblical method of baptism because of its symbolic representation of the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ. The Lord’s Supper or Communion, represents what Jesus Christ did for us. We can celebrate what we receive as a result of His sacrifice. – Matthew 3:16-17; Romans 6:3-4; Luke 22:7-22; 1 Corinthians 11:23-29
The Church
A local body of believers unified through faith in Christ. The ultimate purpose is to glorify Christ. – Acts 2:42; Revelation 21:2-3
