Finding Your Fit Series

We are called by God and organized as a church to proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ, to meet the needs of the congregation and community, and to work for peace and justice in the world.

What does this mean? Throughout the year, various classes are offered that address Valley's particular role within the body of faith. These classes take different forms.

Making Membership Meaningful

A class designed for those wanting more information about Valley's congregation. Other churches often refer to these sessions as "inquirers" classes. Classes are opened to all who are considering membership and those whom have joined but are seeking more information.

This class is offered two or three times each year. It is a one-time, 90-minute class. Please contact the Church Office for the next date and time.
