Summer Fest | Rescue Party | Mark Coulter

Summer Fest is a teaching series that explores the festivals of Israel as divine moments set on God’s calendar—intentional times where He invited His people to encounter His presence, remember His faithfulness, and anticipate His redemptive plan. These sacred festivals were not merely ancient traditions but signposts pointing forward to Jesus Christ and God’s ongoing work in the world today. As we journey from Passover to Pentecost, we will see how God uses sacred time to shine light into darkness, shape His people, and call us to respond. The same God who set appointments then is still inviting us now—the question is whether we will show up. The Valley Church exists to punch holes in the darkness! Join us for service every Sunday at 9:15am or 11:00am (EST) in Sidney, Piqua, or Troy.

Summer Fest | God Likes to Party | Mark Coulter

Summer Fest is a teaching series that explores the festivals of Israel as divine moments set on God’s calendar—intentional times where He invited His people to encounter His presence, remember His faithfulness, and anticipate His redemptive plan.

As we journey from Passover to Pentecost, we will see how God uses sacred time to shine light into darkness, shape His people, and call us to respond.

This first message helps set the stage and get us in the right frame of mind to enter into the consecutive weeks and their festivals. One of the first things we grapple with is our image of who God is. Is your image of God like the Cosmic Killjoy or as the Hulk - always angry? Well, we have some good news for you!

Friendology | Friendship Across Differences | Jayden Groppi

One thing we see in Scripture is how God invited His people to befriend those who were different from them. One story we read about in Acts 10 when Peter, one of the 12 disciples of Jesus, encounters a Roman centurion after God sends both them divine messages to set up the meeting. God was super intentional with them! Join us as Pastor Jayden leads us into the heart of the Gospel and our final message in this series. This series explores God’s design for friendship and offers practical, biblical wisdom for building healthy, life-giving relationships.
