About Who We Are
a church for the valley
This Isn’t Just Where We Gather. It’s Where You Belong.
Church of the Valley is a diverse, Jesus-centered community walking through real life with honest faith and open arms.
We’re rooted in the Pioneer Valley — and we exist to help you find belonging, purpose, and people to walk with.
If you’re wondering if there’s a place for you here, the answer is yes.

Meet Our Team
We’re a team who loves Jesus, loves this Valley, and loves walking with you.
the church we see
We’re not just a church in the Valley. We’re a church for the Valley.
We see a vibrant, Gospel-centered movement where every person — every story, every struggle — has a seat at the table. A church where worship is honest, not polished. Where faith is practiced, not performed. Where Jesus is everything, and everyone is invited to know Him.
And when we say everyone, we mean EVERYONE.
Our Values
What We Believe Shapes How We Live
These aren’t slogans. They’re the way we move through the world — with bold faith, messy grace, and radical love.
He’s not part of our message — He is the message. Everything begins and ends with Him.
We believe no one should walk through life alone. This is a place to be known, loved, and supported — no matter what.
We choose movement over maintenance. Obedience over comfort. Our faith is bold because Jesus is worth it.
Methods may shift. But our mission never will. We’ll do whatever it takes to reach the Valley with the Gospel hope of Jesus.
