As a Christian church, Valencia United Methodist Church holds that one experiences salvation by grace through faith in Jesus Christ. Faith is expressed both through personal and inward acts of belief and devotion, as well as through outward and public acts of service and love - which display the love of Christ. Valencia United Methodist Church uses scripture, tradition, experience and reason to discern God's will for our lives.

Valencia United Methodist Church is your neighborhood church, version 2.0. They exist to help people grow as followers of Christ through engaging worship; intentional Christian education opportunities; and hands on, face-to-face service opportunities both locally and internationally. They have traditional and modern elements in worship.

When they say "all are welcome," they mean all. Valencia United Methodist Church is an "open" church: They respect, invite and welcome all people in everything they do, including communion. They are a safe place for people to learn about Christ and grow in their faith.

Valencia United Methodist Church invites you to join them for their Advent Celebration on Sunday, December 3, beginning at 4:30pm. The Celebration is for the whole family and includes dinner, activities for children and families (With snow!), crafts, music, singing and a faith-filled message. The evening is a great way to kick off your Advent and Christmas seasons; tickets are on sale now and are $8 per person or $30 max per family.

by Pastor David W. Hegg & wife Cherylyn Hegg

We believe the Bible is the very word of God and through it He calls us to both truth and love. We delight in the gospel story of God's refusal to let sin win and His determination, out of a fierce love, to rescue those drowning in a raging current of sin in this broken world. This rescue comes to us by God's grace alone, through faith alone, in Jesus Christ, the Son of God. At Grace, we are privileged to partner together with our Lord Jesus in the mission of grace through the church to the world.

Grace is a place where people care, and truth matters. We have multiple weekend services on Saturday and Sunday featuring a variety of musical styles. We teach the Bible and believe obedience to Christ in all things is our very best option.

Grace is large enough to have everything a family needs to enjoy life in community and delight in Christ. And Grace also thinks small, providing ways to engage with a few friends in life-to-life relationship. At the heart of everything is a commitment to teach the Bible carefully, correctly, lovingly and in ways that stir the mind and excite the heart.

Christmas is a great time to be at Grace with our beautifully decorated "family room" auditorium, the music of the season performed by our orchestra and praise bands and the joyful message that God has fulfilled His promise to send a Savior. Our Family Christmas Concerts are December 8 to December 10, but every weekend you'll find hundreds of Grace families gathered to sing, love, learn and share life together. Check us out - stay for the guest reception following each of our four services: Saturday at 5:30pm and 7:10pm, and Sunday at 9am and 10:45am. The preaching is the same in all services and, while the musical styles vary, everything is done with excellence to the glory of God.

At Grace, we recognize how important it is to build strong character in our children and students so they can stand fast against the storms of our broken world. We're excited to be shaping the next generations of men and women of character, according to the truth of God's Word. And while the reality of evil is all around us, we're certain Almighty God is the only refuge who can both protect us and provide for us, both in this life, and the life to come.
