VALLEY ELDERS
The Board of Elders at Valley serve as the leaders of our church. Each Elder prayerfully considers the calling to this important role, and after serving as an Elder Apprentice is elected by our Covenant Membership to serve in three-year terms. Our Elders not only oversee the spiritual direction and administration of the church, they are each actively involved in or leading ministries, and praying over the concerns and pastoral needs of the Valley community. You can contact the Board of Elders with any questions or concerns by emailing them at [email protected].
