Worship is the heart of our church.
Worship includes handbells, choirs, and ensembles once again. Enjoy live preaching. We have printed bulletins available, hymnals and bibles in pew racks, in-person offering, children’s worship activity bags, and Holy Communion (on 1st & 3rd Sundays) at the front of the sanctuary as individual wafers with a glass of wine or grape juice. Nursery is available during all worship hours; no registration is necessary.
We livestream the 9:45 am service, or you can watch it online anytime during the week. Click here to read about the Sanctuary pipe organ.

Nursery is available during all worship hours.
Shepherd of the Valley provides a safe, warm, and welcoming nursery for children during worship and certain events. Caring, professional staff make this an exceptional entry point for children just beginning their involvement in a faith community. Parents are always welcome to play with us.
During all worship hours, the nursery is open to all children ages 1-3. Registration is not required. Children age 3 and older are encouraged to attend worship or to register for our children’s education hour (called GodZone). When programming is not in session, children of all ages are welcome in the nursery.

Shepherd of the Valley involves the congregation, choral groups, instrumentalists, handbells, and service assistants who participate and lead. There are many opportunities to get involved, using the talents God has gifted you!
