What We Are Doing

Our plan is to launch Sunday September 27th, 2026! This summer, our focus is on building and developing our launch team. We are casting vision, establishing our mission, and intentionally creating a healthy church culture. We are also working to put all of our teams, systems, and ministry structures in place so that when September arrives, we can be good stewards of every person God brings through our doors.We want to build a church that is ready to serve people well from day one.

Why We Are Planting a Church

Our mission is simple:

To step into the valleys of life with people, lead them to encounter Jesus, and empower them to stand as a vast army.

We want to see young families transformed for generations to come. We believe lasting change happens when fathers, husbands, and men encounter the love of Jesus and are empowered by the Holy Spirit to lead their families well.



The need in our community is significant. In our county, we rank:

• 2nd in prison admissions per 100,000 people
• 2nd in child out-of-wedlock births
• 5th in single-parent households
• 5th in substance abuse rates
• 7th in jail admissions per 100,000 people

As a church, we want to see those statistics change.We believe one of the greatest places to start is by reaching and discipling men. In nearly every area of life, men are challenged to rise higher, yet too often the church lowers the standard. We want to challenge men to become everything God has called them to be. We want to preach the full Gospel, clearly communicate the biblical standard, and call people to a life fully surrendered to Jesus.

What We Need

As we prepare for launch, we are praying for people to join us through prayer and financially. Please put us on your prayer teams list and keep our family, our church and this city in your prayers. We are praying for additional people to join our launch team—people who are passionate about reaching the lost and willing to step into the valleys of life with others. 

Financially we are seeking pledge commitments totaling $5,000 per month for two years to support our family's personal budget, as well as $300,000 annually for two years to fund the operational expenses of launching Valley Church.

Research and church planting experience consistently show that it often takes around two years for a new congregation to develop a strong culture of faithful stewardship and regular tithing. Because our mission is focused on reaching people who are currently unchurched or disconnected from faith, we recognize that building a healthy, self-sustaining church will take time. These financial commitments will provide the foundation needed to establish Valley Church, disciple new believers, and create a thriving church community that can sustain itself for years to come.

The funds will allow us to purchase equipment, resources, and ministry tools necessary to launch and sustain the church. Currently, we have very limited equipment and many startup needs ahead of us. We believe God has called us to this city, and we are trusting Him to provide everything needed to accomplish the mission He has given us.
