SUNDAYS AT 5PM IN THE VALLEY

We believe there is power when we gather in the name of Jesus. As we come together to glorify God, we are strengthened, the gifts of the Spirit are stirred up in us, and we are sent out to live God's purposes for our lives. Come be a part of authentic community that will encourage you to grow in your relationship with Jesus!

WORSHIP & prayer

We love to gather around the name of Jesus in worship and prayer, through music and surrender. Joyful praise in unity and thanksgiving lead us into the presence of God. We believe in creating atmospheres where the Holy Spirit is free to lead, speak to us and transform our hearts. We give time to minister to those who need prayer as the Spirit leads in our services. We intercede together as a Church because prayer is powerful and effective.

the full gospel

The Bible doesn't edit the truth. Why should we? As a Bible-believing Church, we preach the full Gospel and speak authentically about real issues with love and grace. Our sermons and teachings explore what real faith looks like in today's world to help us all thrive as disciples of Christ. Whatever stage of life and faith you may be in, Jesus has a message of hope and love for you! We want you to hear His heart - not personal opinions, politics or fluff.

healthy community

Church is about connecting with others. We value hospitality and fellowship around the table. Everyone is welcome. Whether you're skeptical about Jesus, or are running hard after God, being part of community means consistently getting around people we can learn from and grow alongside. We believe love, encouragement and respect cultivates unity and creates a culture of honor we can thrive in. Open, honest communication filled with grace helps bring healing and maturity.
