Are you new to VCC or looking for ways to get more connected?

We’d love to invite you to Connection Point, a casual and welcoming gathering designed to help you feel at home at Valley Community Church. It’s the perfect opportunity to meet some of our pastors and staff, hear more about who we are and what we believe, and ask any questions you might have about our ministries, events, or how to get involved. We’ll also take time to get to know you and hear your story because building meaningful connections is at the heart of what we do.

Whether you’re just checking us out or ready to take the next step in your faith journey, Connection Point is a great way to start. We can’t wait to meet you!

Baptism is a public way of showing that we belong to Jesus. It symbolizes being washed clean from sin and stepping into new life with Him. The Bible teaches that when we put our faith in Jesus, we are forgiven and receive the Holy Spirit—baptism is an outward sign of that inward transformation (Acts 2:38).

Baptism doesn't make us right with God; it's a response to the faith we already have. The water represents cleansing, but it's our trust in Jesus that brings forgiveness (1 Peter 3:21). It's also an act of obedience and a declaration that we’re committed to following Him.

To help you prepare, we offer a baptism class a few weeks before each scheduled baptism.

Ready to take this step? Sign up today!

Come pause, reflect, and begin the season of Lent with intention. During this evening of Scripture, prayer, and music, we will remember our humanity and God's mercy. This is a space to come as you are, slow down, and re-orient your heart toward grace as we prepare for Easter.

We look forward to worshiping with you in the Sanctuary, and eating dinner with you before service at 6 PM.

Students & Parents!

Join us on Saturday, November 15 to team up and serve the widows in our community. We'll be breaking into teams and doing some yard work, hanging Christmas lights, cleaning, and doing some other jobs. We've done this for years now, and students always have a great experience, and the widows are always so grateful. It's an easy way to help in a real way.

We have a much higher number of widows signed up this year than in years prior, so we really need the help! We also really need some adults to help out at the houses and drive students. This is a great way to serve with your kids!

We start at 8:30 AM at VCC and are usually wrapped up before noon, depending on how much help we can get. 

Join us for a special Lunch & Learn as we hear from Saji Mathew, a VCC-supported missionary serving with Harvest Mission, an organization that consists of several ministries devoted to reaching unreached people in India and Nepal.

Come hear about Harvest Mission's impact, and discover how you can pray for and support what God is doing overseas. Lunch is provided!

If you are experiencing grief or loss, the holiday season can be painful.

We'd like to invite you to a special time of support and prayer following the 11 AM service in the Fireside Room. GriefShare: Surviving the Holidays is a wonderful place to find comfort and care in God's love with others walking through grief.

Please register for the event, and contact dane@vc.church with any questions.

Together, we'll explore spiritual direction and other forms of spiritual companioning through teaching, testimonies, and an opportunity to practice. Learn how to discern when spiritual direction might be helpful, and discover next steps if you’re interested in receiving or learning to offer this kind of care. Lunch provided! Join us in the Fireside Room.

Our next Refuge event is Glow-in-the-Dark Hockey! Students will sign up as a team and play hockey in the Hall through a bracket, ultimately ending with one winning team! Encourage your students to bring a friend or two to make their teams great! We will serve pizza during the event as well!

We will start playing right at 6:45, so please try to be there at 6:30 to sign up for teams!

As always, dinner with the church family will be served at 6!

Students are responsible to bring all ingredients and cooking tools/appliances they need. Join us for dinner with our church family at 6 PM before the event starts at 6:45 PM.

Baptism is a powerful symbol of new life. It’s a way to publicly declare the transformation God has already begun in you—marking a step of faith, obedience, and belonging in His story. If you haven’t been baptized yet, we invite you to take this step.

Sign up for one of our upcoming baptisms, and we’ll walk with you through the journey. A baptism class is held two weeks before to help you understand its significance and prepare for this meaningful moment (Matt. 28:19, Acts 2:38–41).
