Meet the Team
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 care of His people to men who are qualified according to 1 Timothy 3 and Titus 1 to serve as elders. Our elders oversee the pastoral staff and deacon team, who carry out our ministry strategy, and our elders remain accountable to the congregation.
Our elders have appointed the pastoral staff and deacons to execute the day-to-day ministry, entrusting 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.
For fiduciary matters — finances, legal, and other business affairs — we're further protected by a team of trustees who provide additional oversight and accountability.
