Note from the Pastor

          If you are not familiar with "Friends," the Friends movement (first known as the Religious Society of Friends) began in the mid- 1600s. Our name is taken from John 15:15, where Jesus said, "I have called you friends, for all things that I heard from my Father I have made known to you." So, we declare through redemption and salvation in Jesus Christ that we become His friend, as well as his disciple. Pretty simple? That's why we call our congregation, "The Church of the Simple Faith." For more on the Friends movement, click our website link to Evangelical Friends Church - Eastern Region.

     Visitors to Valleyview worship tend to leave with one of two reactions. First are those who are intimidated by our close, personal, intimate worship style, under the direction of the Holy Spirit (though we are not Pentecostal). Those guests usually hit the door quickly at the first note of the postlude and never look back. The second group are those who realize soon into the worship service that this is a special place, a special group of Christian disciples, an authentic worship experience. Following the service they linger to talk with many others, eventually leaving with a sense of "This is what I have been looking for in worship... in a congregation... but didn't realize it actually existed." Those guests usually become part of our Community of Love, our friendship with Jesus and with each other.

Valleyview is not for everyone (no congregation is). Come visit some Sunday morning. You will know soon enough into which group of guests you will fall.

If you are looking for a church home, may the Lord bless you in that exciting venture. We invite you to include a stop at Valleyview on your journey.
