MISSION WORKERS

and more.
As a work of the Bear Valley church of Christ and under the oversight of the Bear Valley eldership since 1965, we have labored to accomplish the commission of 2 Timothy 2:2 - entrusting the pattern of sound teaching in the gospel to faithful men who will then in turn be equipped to teach others. While the scope of our work has expanded, we have never lost sight of that fundamental mission.
While our mission encompasses the entire globe, each individual location focuses on the needs of the local church. Whether in Colorado, Cambodia, or Cameroon, our schools build up the church, strengthening Christians and seek the lost.

Our connection with APOLOGETICS PRESS
Bear Valley has a long and close connection with the staff at Apologetics Press. Dave Miller, Eric Lyons, Kyle Butt, and Jeff Miller are truly experts is their fields and teach classes in Apologetics and Christian Evidences our two year Preaching Program.
