We're Here to Walk With You.

Care & Support

Life hits hard sometimes. Grief, addiction, depression, divorce, isolation, it can leave you wondering if anyone really sees you, or if church is even a place for someone like you. It is. You belong here. And you don’t have to carry this season alone.

Find Support

Whether you’re seeking healing, support, or someone to talk to, our Care Team is here with open arms and steady presence.

Celebrate Recovery

For anyone ready to heal from anything holding you back.

Celebrate Recovery is a safe place for anyone working through addiction (alcohol, drugs, food, pornography), emotional struggles like anxiety, anger, or depression, past wounds or trauma, codependency or broken relationships, and lingering grief, guilt, or shame.

You’ll be welcomed without questions or pressure, invited into a group where honesty is valued and judgment has no place, and surrounded by people who’ve been where you are, ready to walk alongside you.

  • Tuesdays, 6:30–8:30pm | No RSVP needed
  • At Church of the Valley
  • Led by George & Marilyn Ekimovich

Prayer Ministry

If you need prayer, we’re here.

You don’t have to face what you’re facing in silence. Whether you want someone to pray for healing, guidance, peace, or strength — we’re honored to lift you up.

Deacon Care – what is it?

Deacon Care is a personal connection when you need it most.

At Church of the Valley, our deacons are servant-hearted leaders who provide relational and spiritual care to our church family. They’re here to listen, pray, and check in — especially during difficult seasons.

If you’re a part of COTV, you’ve already been paired with a deacon based on your last name. But even if you’re new here, our deacons are available to support you.

Whether you’re walking through a loss, facing a transition, or simply feeling unseen — you don’t have to carry it alone.

Need care or want to get in touch with your deacon?

Call the church office at 413-536-2775 and we’ll make the connection.

Veterans Group

Thursdays at 6:30 PM

You’ve walked a road most people can’t fully understand. Whether you’re active duty, reserve, or a veteran, this group is a space built just for you. No ranks, no masks, just real people with shared experiences, honest conversations, and a deeper purpose. Military life shapes you in one way or another, it leaves marks, builds resilience, and sometimes creates gaps that others don’t see. This group gets it, we’ve been there. It’s a place to be known, supported, and challenged to grow in friendship, faith, and healing. We gather at 6:30 PM Thursday nights at Church of the Valley to encourage one another and discover the kind of hope only Jesus can bring. If you’re looking for community, clarity, or just someone who understands, there’s a seat for you here.
