Our valley moving as one to reach 20% of the population for Jesus.
“The church is the church only when it exists for others… The church must share in the secular problems of ordinary, human life, not dominating, but helping and serving.”
Dietrich BonHoeffer
Why our valley?
The Treasure Valley is a growing unreached area
- When you compare our valley to other areas, it is one of the least religious metro areas in the country. 57% of Ada county alone has no religious affiliation, which is higher than Seattle, Portland, San Francisco or Boston.
- Around 15% identify as Protestant, and we estimate that around 9% are in a Jesus following church on any given week.
There is a lot of kingdom work to do
- Just to have churches for the 300,000 people who will move to the Treasure Valley in the next 15 years, we would need to plant 250 churches with 200 people attending each to saturate our valley with the gospel.
- But we believe God wants to do far more than that. He wants every person in our valley to know someone who truly follows Jesus, and experience a taste of the kingdom of God in their neighborhoods, in their families, in their workplaces.
The Valley Network is here to resource kingdom multiplication in the Treasure Valley.
- We seek to create a broad network of mission-minded churches and pastors in the Treasure Valley to join God’s kingdom work in connecting with one another, planting or revitalizing churches together, resourcing Gospel-centered ministries, and reproducing healthy leaders who are on mission.
