Here at Midland Valley Community, we know that a sense of belonging is one of the most crucial factors that many people consider when visiting a church for the first time. We want to help you and your family discover that sense of connection as early as possible no matter your age or stage in life. If you are a new visitor or a long-time family member, we have ministries in place from nursery to senior adults, and leaders who are passionate about helping you take the Discipleship Journey with our church family as we Come, Grow, Serve, and Go.
