Meet the Interim Pastors! (2015)

Three new interim pastors began working at Shepherd of the Valley (SOTV) on Thursday, October 1, 2015.

All three interim pastors will be working part-time sharing pastoral duties of worship leadership, preaching, teaching, congregational care, and program participation and leadership. Each pastor will also have an area of ministry focus.  Please introduce yourself and give our pastors a warm SOTV welcome!
