Pastor Scott is so friendly and personable, and his wife is present and just as involved as he is. He is so humble and open and speaks to us as we are having a one on one conversation. Everyone in this church is right there with you, walking along side you. The worship team is amazing, and singing as a congregation is heart warming and soul filling. There is a live stream if you can't make it in person, and is ASL friendly. There is also a "break out room" in case you need to step away, but don't want to miss out on the service. When you are at South Valley, God is with you and you feel the love so whole heartedly. I walk away every Sunday feeling full of God's love and grace.

For the last 4 months I have tried to find a church. I tried over half a dozen churches many of which were recommended by co-workers or Yelp. The churches I went to were either too exclusive, predominately older in age, or not very warm and welcoming. However, this was a different church. The warm welcoming committee drew me in. Even though it was raining they all had smiles and were very excited that a newcomer (myself) had found their church. Upon walking in, the church lights were off with side purple and blue lights on. It was a medium size congregation (100+) which was predominately youth with young adults and families with small children. The perfect demographic for me. They had a live band play modern Christian praise and worship. Good topic focused message with supporting verses with a very passionate pastor. One con was that service is a bit long (2hours) starting at 11am. However, I was told today was a special long service. Overall, I wish I knew about this church 4 months ago. It's a great church passionate about Jesus. Has a great youth/Sunday school program with cell Groups (small groups) that meet weekly and do life together. Though I knew no one walking in, the people who welcomed me during the beginning of the service found me and introduced me to her cell group leader. That's when I knew this is my new church home.

This is a wonderful way he makes his sermons very relatable. He makes you laugh and want to come back. Sometimes his voice breaks up and has difficulty getting some words out. Now this is what is really on his heart. He is trying to tell you about it. (My favorite times.) I went to a mega church before I moved to this area and tried 10-15 churches before I found this one. Come one Sunday you won't be disappointed.

I've only had to call twice, and both times the experience was unfortunately unpleasant. Given that this is a place of faith and community, I expected a more polite and respectful interaction. It's disappointing and has made me second-guess whether I should continue coming here or consider attending another parish in the area. I'm sharing this feedback not to complain, but in the hope that it helps improve the experience for others in the future.
