Valley Community Center
Each week since 1989 Gary Rosberg and the CT speaking team have been encouraging men in the Des Moines area with spiritual tools to enhance their relationships with God, their wives, children, church and community.
Mentoring
Meet regularly with a mentor
A mentor is someone with a little more experience who will listen, encourage, pray with and for you, and walk alongside you as you navigate life’s journey. Mentors are experienced followers of Christ and are carefully paired with mentees.

LIFE GROUPS

Mondays at 6:30 pm

Topical Study
This group is for men of all ages looking to grow closer to Christ. We are not called to be faithful in the major milestones of life, but rather the 10,000 little steps in between each milestone. Let’s explore more about what this means, and also dive deeper into the different aspects of living a Christ-centered life.

Serve
ALASKA
July 2022
Valley Church has come alongside the leaders at Echo Ranch Bible Camp for 19 years to repair and build facilities while the camp focuses on impacting Alaskan youth during the short, summer season. Our team’s diverse construction and mechanical skills make a significant difference on the ministry’s ability to continue and excel.

BUSINESS AS MISSION

Business As Mission releases the power of business to transform people, communities, and nations for the glory of God. Teams work with a local missions organization to train potential entrepreneurs from local churches on how to develop, run, and maintain a successful business. At the end of the training, microloans are provided to enable the start or expansion of small businesses. Trips occur in both the fall and spring in three phases, a new team traveling for each phase.
Cost: about $2500 (Passport Needed)
VALLEY DISASTER RELIEF
Ongoing
We provide assistance for families who cannot afford tree services, whether it is a result of a natural disaster or simply an economic condition. Any of our work is not intended to compete with a commercial tree services but to bridge the gap for those who cannot afford tree services. We are always looking for volunteers to help us serve Central Iowa. We’ll help you find a way to volunteer that best suits you. We would be excited to have you join the team!
