How Do I Connect?
At West Valley Presbyterian Church (WVPC) our vision is to become an authentic community of faith, hope, and love. We desire to be a place where people truly connect with God, connect with each other, and connect with God's extraordinary purpose for their lives. We hope this can be a place where you can explore who God is, grow in faith, and experience vital, authentic community.
Since community is such an important part of our lives: we go to great lengths to try and help people connect in the church. What follows are the various small-groups, programs, and classes designed to help people integrate into the community of West Valley Presbyterian Church. If you are newer to the WVPC community please let us know personally if there is any way we can be of assistance to you. We would love the chance to meet you and share more about how West Valley Presbyterian Church can be a wonderful place for you and your family.
Where to Start...
Most people begin connecting with our community by visiting our Sunday worship service at 9:30am. This is a great place to begin to connect with the church, but is often not a great place to make deeper relationships because of the large-group size involved. Therefore, in order to really begin to connect in the life of WVPC we strongly recommend that people begin participating in one of the following small-groups, programs, or ministries.
Small Groups
The "Ships" are small-groups dedicated to the purpose of community and fellowship. Most meet monthly, and groups vary in age. All these groups are open and warmly receive new participants. For more information about checking out a ship small group, please contact Pastor Kim Engelmann at or in the church office at 408-252-1365.
Small groups also meet for Bible study and fellowship at different times and locations during the week. These groups feature a variety of ages and meet at different days and times depending on the needs of the group
For more information on small groups, see our Small Groups page.
