WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE TO BECOME A STRATEGIC PARTNER
The Valley Network church is missional, Kingdom-Minded, reproducing, investing in future leaders, and in community with other Valley Network churches.
A Missional Ministry is: Our mission as people of God is to join in His mission, make disciples and reach the lost through disciple-making communities.
A Kingdom-Minded Ministry is: God’s kingdom is their goal, not their own church denomination or personal kingdom.
A Reproducing Ministry is: we multiply by sending disciples that establish new disciple-making communities.
