At Pleasant Valley Church, our journey is deeply rooted in the transformative grace of Jesus Christ. These four foundational beliefs not only guide us in our mission but also stand as the essence of our faith and practice. United in this purpose, our staff is wholeheartedly committed to serving our community, steadfastly drawing upon these anchors as our guiding principles in everything we do.
Jesus Christ is central to everything we do. We strive to place Him at the forefront of all our gatherings, teachings, and activities. Our goal is to lead people to encounter Jesus Christ in all His glory, teaching them to worship Him in every aspect of their lives and to follow His teachings faithfully.
We believe in the life-giving power of God's Word. Our commitment is to immerse our community in the Scriptures, encouraging personal and collective engagement with the Bible. We emphasize the importance of prayer and study, helping believers understand and apply God's truth in their daily lives.
The Gospel of Jesus Christ is the cornerstone of our faith. We focus on teaching and modeling the transformative power of the Gospel, which guides our actions, relationships, and worldview. Through the Gospel, we find the means for daily sanctification and the promise of eternal life.
Our hope is anchored in the return of Jesus Christ. We emphasize the importance of living a life of mission and service, using our gifts to glorify God and spread His love. We prepare our community for Christ's return by encouraging a life of active faith, service, and anticipation.
We're excited to share a selection of inspiring resources that have been hand-picked by our staff. Here, you'll find a range of worship music, podcasts, apps, books, blogs and more that have been designed to lift your spirits and provide guidance and hope. So whatever you're looking for - a bit of inspiration, a friendly reminder, or a much-needed dose of motivation - you'll find it here. We believe that the Current Season at PV will be a source of encouragement and strength for you.
Through my ongoing relationship with Life Model Works and ThriveToday, I'm learning how to be more present with joy and peace. Learning how to stay relational in the midst of the trouble in this world and even have a pathway back to joy. I'm becoming a better version of myself with more maturity and less fear. I'm learning how to be a gentle protector! I love this podcast because the episodes are short and great reminders of the things I'm learning and spreading to others.
The Chosen is the first-ever multi-season TV show about the life of Jesus. The Chosen allows us to see Him through the eyes of those who knew Him.
I was encouraged to press into my relationship with Jesus to become more resilient when life's troubles come my way, whether those troubles are big or small. I loved how practical the book was, and how you could tell John Eldredge has a deep and sweet relationship with Jesus that he wants the reader to experience as well. I just finished this book!
