OUR MISSION
Valley Christian Fellowship exists as a Gospel-Driven Church to build strong families, to serve local communities, and to change the world.
Who We Are
We are people who have been rescued.
That's the simplest way to say it. The congregation of Valley Christian Fellowship is made up of men and women who have come face to face with their own sin and found that Jesus is the only answer to it. His death and resurrection isn't just a doctrine we affirm, it's the ground we stand on, every single day.
We're not a church of people who have it all together. We don't pretend to be. What you'll find here is a community of imperfect people who are learning, sometimes slowly, sometimes stumbling, to trust that the grace of Jesus is enough. Enough for our failures. Enough for our doubts. Enough for the days when life is full and the days when it falls apart.
We remind each other of that. When someone is walking faithfully, we point to Jesus. When someone stumbles, we point to Jesus. When life is good, we give Him the credit. When life is hard, we hold each other and point back to the same hope that got us here.
The gospel isn't just how we started. It's how we live.
Where We Come From
Valley Christian Fellowship has its roots in the 1960s, when a small group of believers caught a vision — that the message of Jesus needed to be proclaimed in Cowlitz County. What began as a church plant driven by that simple conviction has grown, over the decades, into a multigenerational community of faith.
From the beginning, the church was shaped by a commitment to three things: faithful teaching of God's Word, engagement with the surrounding community, and a heart for missions that looked beyond county lines. That foundation hasn't changed.
Over the generations, the Lord has been faithful. There have been baptisms, lives transformed by the gospel, and disciples made — ordinary people shaped by Scripture and sent into the world. The story of this church is ultimately the story of what God does when a community stays tethered to His Word and available for His work.
We don't take that legacy lightly. And we believe the best chapters are still ahead.
Where We're Headed
We believe the Lord builds His church, and we're trusting Him to do exactly that.
Our calling at Valley Christian Fellowship is not complicated: preach the Word faithfully, equip the saints for the work of ministry, and love our community in both word and deed. That's the work we're committed to, and it's the work we believe God honors.
We want to see men and women grounded in Scripture; not just attending church, but formed by it. People who know what they believe and why, who are growing in Christlikeness, and who are equipped to carry the gospel into every corner of their lives.
The goal has never been to fill seats. It's to make disciples.
At the same time, we're a church that belongs to Cowlitz County. We want our neighbors to know that Valley Christian Fellowship is a place that shows up, that the love we proclaim from the pulpit is the same love we practice in the community. Word and deed, together.
The road ahead is full of opportunity.
We're moving forward with confidence, not in our own plans or resources, but in the One who said He would build His church, and that the gates of hell would not prevail against it.
