Prayer Chain

Do you still have questions or concerns? We'd love to talk with you. Wondering how long you have to give? Commitments can be paid over three years. Feel like your support won't make a difference? A New Heart for the Valley needs all sizes of support to be successful. Every contribution counts!

Sanctuary Balcony & Transept closed during summer worship

Please pray for those recovering from recent medical procedures:

week of May 20, 2018

The momentum is building and VPC has begun making the plans for our campus a reality. Hundreds of people have committed over $6.5 million dollars toward Phase One of A New Heart for the Valley. This is great news! God is at work in our community as many are making this a spiritual and charitable priority. An additional $6 million is needed to complete the vision for A New Heart for the Valley. It will take the whole congregation, committing however they can.
