Small Groups at Valley have a clear purpose: bringing people together. We believe God created us to live in relationships with others, and only then can we experience the full life He intends for us. Sharing life through community is part of our design, but meaningful relationships aren't always easy to find. That's why Small Groups exist—to make these life-changing relationships relevant and accessible to you.
We have Groups for everyone -- men, women, and married groups!
This semester also offers Freedom Groups, a 12-week group that follows curriculum provided by Church of the Highlands. This is where groups dive into the deep end to discover healing through prayer, heartfelt conversations, and community. This ends with our powerful two-day Freedom Conference where all freedom group members receive prayer for healing and freedom in specific areas of their lives.
Group sign-ups open on January 11th! Use the buttons below to get started. Simply enter your contact information, choose a group category, and then select the group you’d like to join.

“Praying the Scriptures for Your Teens" is the most concise and powerful book besides the Bible we will read as we raise our teens with Godly character. We will not only pray for their character but all relationships with God, with us, friends, community, connection, health and safety, God's victory over temptation to praying over every topic they will face, from sports to their future spouses with real stories, biblical verses, and more! This is for all/both parents to attend. Where two or more are gathered together, He is there!
