That’s probably why we make such a close family, because we’re all sort of limping through life and growing in grace. We’re not evaluating you—when you walk in, we’re glad to see you! Don’t worry about having to measure up or fit in. None of us really measure up, and we’re all very different. Our family is very diverse, so fitting in isn’t an issue.

That might sound strange, coming from a “church,” but honestly, religion has let a lot of people down. Religious structures and systems are confusing, complicated, and disconnected from real life. We would love to help you move from “religion” into an authentic relationship with Jesus Christ. If you feel new to it all, that’s ok, our church is filled with new believers!

We worship Jesus, study the Bible, and encourage each other in simple terms you’ll be able to connect to your daily life. We believe and teach what the Bible actually says and why it matters—no pointless traditions, no archaic languages, no “droning” irrelevant lectures, no pious arrogance. We open the Bible and apply it to real life in the twenty-first century.

We really are just regular, friendly people. “Religious” people often come off contrived, artificial, and argumentative. You won’t find that at Sandy Valley. We’re like you—working hard, fighting for healthy relationships, looking for encouragement, and glad to have some good friends who also have faith in Jesus Christ.

Guests usually say, “Wow, I’ve never been to a church like this…”

Your family or friends will find a class designed just for them! Nurseries, children’s ministries, student ministry, and an adult fellowship are all well-planned and prepared so that your Sunday is well invested into personal growth and biblical encouragement.

At Sandy Valley, we worship Jesus. The music is meaningful, enjoyable, and refreshing. Our goal is worship, not entertainment, and we believe the music will touch you deeply.

Pastor Sunde will teach through a practical series that applies God’s wisdom to everyday life situations. The Bible has the answers you’ve been longing for, and it’s essential for your journey through life.

Our goal is simple—to love you and encourage you. Whatever you’re facing, wherever you come from, whatever decisions you are up against, God’s Word, God’s grace, and God’s love through the person of Jesus Christ will make a massive difference. Honestly, you’ve never been so loved! Whether you have a church background or not you’ll feel welcomed. Every week, new guests are visiting for the first time—many of them would not call themselves Christians or even “religious.” Many of them are burnt out on religion and secularism. Religion tells us to “be good enough” to please God—that’s hopeless. Secularism tells us “there is no God, so life itself is meaningless and hopeless.” But Jesus presents the only hopeful answer! 

Whether you believe in Jesus or not, have an open mind and come hear God’s Word taught clearly and practically. Investigate who Jesus really is and discover what most religions never tell you about the Bible. Come experience grace in action, and discover the hope that God offers through a relationship, not a religion
