Valley Real Life is on month 6 at the Riverside Campus.

They just completed their second Lift Group launch.

The building block of VLR model is their Life Groups. They harbor a total 55 Life groups that are available for any season on life .Their focus on life groups ensure their members are involved in their community- in their church

Derek Murphy, the ICPA Executive director, said it best . “Church is just code word for people and specifically people who are following Jesus. If you can come here leave and not know any body you are not going to church “

As of right now they have around 250 members attending church on Sunday.

They are reaching more into the community every month, meeting and exceeding expectations. As of now they are preparing for their Easter service together rallying the church to reach more friends and neighbors. Please pray for Dan Shields, lead pastor at VRL and Kelly Armstrong this season as they lead their church into Resurrection Sunday.
