About Us.
Our Mission: Light of the Valley is a church that helps people discover new purpose, meaning and significance for their lives in Christ.
At Light of the Valley Lutheran Church, we believe church is more than a building-it's a family. Here, you'll find a caring community of people who gather to worship God, grow in faith, and share His love with one another and with the world around us.
We welcome you just as you are. Whether you are new to faith, returning after time away, or seeking a church home, there is a place for you here. In our community, you'll discover encouragement, support, and the joy of walking together as followers of Jesus.
Each week we come together to hear God's Word, celebrate His grace, and lift our voices in praise. Beyond Sunday mornings, we connect through fellowship, service projects, Bible study, and care for our neighbors. Together, we strive to live out Christ's love — serving with compassion, supporting one another in life's challenges, and celebrating the blessings we share.
No matter where you are on your journey, you are welcome in our family of faith. We invite you to join us as we grow in God's Word, share His love, and live with hope in Christ.
Vision.
Our vision is to create multiple venues where people can discover and experience the good news of Jesus; communities of help and healing, of doing life together, embracing the call of Jesus in our lives and serving the community.
"We have a motto that ‘No one walks alone'. We think Light of the Valley Lutheran Church is a place where you can grow in faith, engage in life-giving community and discover God's purpose for your life."
Values.
-
Jesus Creates Lasting Relationships Here
"Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends." John 15:13
Why it matters: Relationships rooted in Christ are deeper, stronger, and more enduring. We believe church should feel like family-where people of all ages connect, care for one another, and grow together in grace.
-
God's Word Shines Light on Every Part of Life
"Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path." - Psalm 119:105
Why it matters: In a world full of confusion and shifting values, God's Word gives us clarity, direction, and wisdom for every season of life. At Light of the Valley, we trust scripture to guide our decisions, shape our character, and lead us to Jesus.
-
No Matter Where You've Been, You've Got a Home Here
"Welcome one another as Christ has welcomed you." - Romans 15:7
Why it matters: Everyone has a story. No matter your past or present, Jesus offers welcoming, healing, and hope. At Light of the Valley, we reflect that welcome by creating a community where people can belong before they believe.
-
Everyone Has a Next Step
"Forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead... I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus." Philippians 3:13-14
Why it matters: Faith is a journey, not a destination. Whether you're new to faith or have walked with Jesus for decades, He's still calling you forward. We're here to help each person take their next step in following Christ.

We Believe.
Light of the Valley belongs to the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod (LCMS). For a quick summary of our beliefs click the topics below or visit LCMS.org
-
the Father, creator of all that exists;
Jesus Christ, the Son, who became human to suffer and die for the sins of all human beings and to rise to life again in the ultimate victory over death and Satan; and
the Holy Spirit, who creates faith through God’s Word and Sacraments.
The three persons of the Trinity are coequal and coeternal, one God.
-
GRACE ALONE: God loves the people of the world, even though they are sinful, rebel against Him and do not deserve His love. He sent Jesus, His Son, to love the unlovable and save the ungodly.
FAITH ALONE: By His suffering and death as the substitute for all people of all time, Jesus purchased and won forgiveness and eternal life for them. Those who hear this Good News and believe it have the eternal life that it offers. God creates faith in Christ and gives people forgiveness through Him.
SCRIPTURE ALONE: The Bible is God’s inerrant and infallible Word, in which He reveals His Law and His Gospel of salvation in Jesus Christ. It is the sole rule and norm for Christian doctrine.
-
For more than 2,000 years, people have asked this question. We were not present when Jesus lived on this earth, but in the Bible we have the record of His birth, life, death on the cross, and resurrection. Through the study of the Bible, you can seek the answer to this age-old question: “Who is Jesus?”
