Small Groups at Valley have a clear purpose: to bring people together. We believe God created us to live in relationships with others, and only then can we live the full life He intends for us. Sharing life through community is part of our design, but meaningful relationships aren't always easy to find. That's why Small Groups exist—to make these life-changing relationships relevant and accessible to you.
At its core, a Small Group is less about what you do and more about who you do it with. We all need each other, and that's why we have Small Groups. But, like most things, you won't know until you try.
Group sign-up is now over for the summer. Check back in September when groups open up again!

From Paula:
Small groups at Valley have really made a difference in my life. Pastor Susie's and Pastor Dan's groups have helped me so much in understanding who I am in Christ, how to walk in this crazy world as a Christian, what my responsibility is as a follower of Jesus Christ and given me a deeper understanding of the Word. Valley small groups helped me to find new friends. People who care about me and pray for me. There is something special about walking into church on Sunday and seeing faces of people you know and who care about you. Even during Covid lockdown the ladies in my group touched base with one another via text messages. I am very thankful for the small groups at Valley!
