leadership
Church of the Valley is ruled under the authority of our Senior Pastor, Jesus, as the church belongs to Him. Jesus has entrusted the oversight, leadership, protection, and caring for the people to men who are qualified according to 1 Timothy 3 and Titus 1 to serve as elders. Our elders oversee the staff and deacons team, who execute the ministry strategy and we are congregationally accountable.
Our elders team has appointed the pastoral staff and deacons to execute the day-to-day ministry and entrust them to equip the saints for the work of ministry. If you have any questions about our church, our elders would be happy to hear from you. Please feel welcome to contact us.
