We are a Bible-based church. Each service includes a message from a pastor about how to apply God's Word to our lives today. Our messages are grouped into topics, called sermon series, allowing attendees to focus on one subject of interest for a few weeks.
Attendees join a Community Group at Valley when they are ready to form long-term connections, support others, and study the Bible in a tight-knit group. Community Groups are casual gatherings that take place either at the church or in a home. Attendees enjoy community groups because they encourage spiritual growth alongside people who get to know each other personally and feel comfortable sharing their lives with one another.
Valley provides attendees with short-term classes that guide participants through book discussions, video studies, and topical lessons. Participants commit to completing assignments and come ready to discuss and learn. Equipping Classes are opportunities to learn from educators about theology, relationship building, Christian living and literature. Some require the purchase of books and materials.
Valley Care offers several Care Groups. These are communities of people who understand and encourage one another on their journey. Many groups provide support for those who are navigating a difficult time, such as addictive habits, divorce, grief, or illness. Other Care Groups gather to serve those in need, offer community to people with similar experiences, or pray for those in a challenging season of their lives. Everyone is welcome to come as they are, and most groups are commitment-free and confidential.
