Faith in the future . . . New Baptist church ‘starting from scratch’ in Valley City [] Services in the new Calvary Baptist Church, located at 2030 Main Ave. in Valley City will begin Sunday, Jan. 13 at 10:30 a.m. [2002]   By Julie Nelson Times-Record Editor    With faith as their foundation, a young Fargo couple are starting a new church in Valley City.    Pastor Mike and Tracy Paulson will hold their first service in the Calvary Baptist Church Sunday, Jan. 13. Described as an independent Baptist denomination, the church is an out- growth from Fargo Baptist Church, which also "started from scratch," according to Mike Paulson.    Taking a break from the interior remoldeling to the building that until last fall housed the Nodak Appliance building at the west end of Valley City's Main Ave., the Paulsons talked about their dream.    The Fargo church has experienced growth since its start by Pastor Tony Scheving 15 years ago, with a present congregation of around 300 and now in their third building project.   With a planned seating capacity of 1,100, the church has faith in the future, some- thing shared by the Paulsons.    Mike Paulson, a South Dakota native, was working at Case-Concord in Fargo, when he felt called into min- istry.   He attended the Dakota Baptist Bible Institute, where he completed his ministry training in 1998.   Since then, he has served in a lay capacity in the Fargo church.    From there, he began to search for a place to start another church.   Valley City seemed like the one.    Tracy said, coincidently, that they used to drive up to Valley City from Fargo, just for a peaceful family day. They would visit the city park, or Lake Ashtabula.   The couple has two daugh- ters, Hannah, 7, and Sarah, 5.   They are now making their home here.    "We will be an extension (of the Fargo church) until we are big enough to support ourselves," Paulson said. "We're independent in the sense that each individual church is slightly dif- rent."    But one thing remains the same: they stick with the Scriptures.   "We want to let people know, that every doctrine should be found in the Bible."   And that the "new birth" should be a "dramatic change that makes a person totally dif- rerent."    "There aren't a lot of churches teach- ing that," he says.    "And the teaching is practical," Tracy added.   "Marriage, family, finances, all are found in the Bible."    The focus, Mike says, is to "make sure people know what the Bible says about going to Heaven, to be born again, repent and believe in the Gospel."    The public is invited to their first service Sunday at 10:30 a.m., at 2030 Main Ave., Valley City.   For more infor- mation, call the church at 845-9220.
