Expect to Belong!

Visiting a church can be intimidating
But when it comes to Sandy Valley, you can relax…

We don’t “have it all-together.”

That’s probably why we easy to get along with, because we’re all sort of struggling through life and growing in grace. We’re not evaluating you—when you walk in, we’re simply glad to see you! Don’t worry about having to measure up or fit in. None of us really measure up, and we’re all very different. Our family is very diverse, so fitting in isn’t an issue.

We’re not very religious.

Honestly, religion has let a lot of people down. Religious structures and systems can be confusing, complicated, and disconnected from real life. We would love to help you move from “religion” into an authentic relationship with Jesus Christ. If you feel new to it all, that’s okay, our church is filled with growing, new believers!

We speak in simple and plain terms

We worship Jesus, study the Bible, and encourage each other in simple terms you’ll be able to connect to your daily life.  We believe and teach what the Bible actually says and why it matters—no pointless traditions, no archaic languages, no boring or irrelevant lectures, no pious arrogance. We open the Bible and apply it to real life in the twenty-first century.

We are real.

We really are just regular, friendly people. “Religious” people often come off contrived, artificial, and argumentative. You won’t find that at Sandy Valley. We’re like you—working hard, fighting for healthy relationships, looking for encouragement, and glad to have some good friends along the journey.

Expect To Grow

First, expect a friendly, grace-filled culture.

The gospel of grace is at the center of everything we do at Sandy Valley. Our family is warm and welcoming. 

Expect some help along the way.

Greeters will welcome you and help you find classes and nurseries, as well as some coffee! 

Expect to find a place where you fit.

Nurseries, children’s ministries, student ministry, and adult groups are all well-planned and prepared so that your Sunday is a well-invested time of personal growth.

Expect meaningful worship.

At Sandy Valley, we worship Jesus. The music is Christ-exalting, enjoyable, and refreshing. Our goal is worship, not entertainment, and we believe the music will draw your heart and mind to God.

Expect a practical Bible message.

Pastor Dan will teach through a practical series that applies God’s wisdom to real-life situations. The Bible has the answers you’ve been looking for, and it’s essential for your journey through life. Listen to a recent message.

Expect to be impacted for the better.

Our goal is simple—to love and encourage you. Whatever you’re facing, wherever you come from, whatever decisions you are up against—God’s word and God’s love will make a massive difference.

Expect to connect and grow personally.

Every week, Sandy Valley welcomes guests who would not call themselves “Christians” or even “religious.” Many of them are burnt out on either religion or secularism, and are sincerely looking for a truthful, spiritual alternative to both. We believe Jesus’ gospel provides the best answer for the soul.

Sandy Valley is for the skeptic or the believer.
