A Little Bit About Who We Are
Our Vision:
Valley View Evangelical Church shall be a cooperative body of believers united
in their passion for Christ and focused on the harvest.
Religious Affiliation:
We are a member church of The Evangelical Church.
Our History:
Valley View Church had its early beginnings in March 1985.
The first service was a planned sunrise event held on the hilside lawn near the
parsonage April 7, 1985. Later that same day, the group congregated in
Anderson's Restaurant in Knightsville, PA for a worship service. The restaurant
served as a regular meeting place until the congregation could build their own
structure.
Two weeks later, the women of the church eagerly organized a Mission Society
dedicated to supporting individual missionaries and mission sending agencies
with prayer and financial support. There was also a strong emphasis on local
missions by providing devotional materials and exercising compassionate outreach
through food and helping ministries.
Our Church Today:
Valley view Evangelical Church exists for the purpose of presenting Jesus to a
world in need of change, and to provide a place for believers to fellowship and
worship almighty God through the teaching and preaching of God's Word.
Members of the congregation are servants of the living God and their fellow man.
They believe the message of holiness of heart is relevant and essential for
today's world. They are called and inspired by the great commission in Matthew
28:18-20, therefore their emphasis on missions remains strong.
Church activities include participation in the Southern Huntingdon chapter of
Men With Vision, Pennsylvania District Ten Sunday School Association, H.I.S.
Care Ministry, as well as participating in hymn sings and prayer circles with
other local churches.
Annual events include: Lady's Retreat, Men's Retreat, Winter Youth Retreat
(Snoasis), Family Bible Camp, Vacation Bible School, Christmas Shoe box
Collection, Fall Festival, and an annual Ice Cream Festival with free homemade
ice cream.
