Christianity is not a spectator sport.  Instead, we find our true identity and purpose in life as we decide to actively follow Christ.  This message series will focus on how to run the race of following Christ effectively, and how we find the strength to keep going.

<description>
Small Groups are a great way to deepen your walk with the Lord and develop supportive friendships. 

Community Groups - September thru June
Besides the worship service, the major part of church life is our small groups. They provide opportunities for people to form friendships and learn more about walking with God in a practical way. A Community Group is a small group of 8-12 adults meeting on a weekly basis for Bible Study and talking about what God has been doing in their lives. The groups are made up of men and women, single and married. Over time, the most significant factor in the personal growth of people is involvement in a small group.

CURRENT COMMUNITY GROUPS:
Alex Barrett, Pomona (Tuesdays PM)
Roy Tsuchiyama, Diamond Bar (Tuesdays PM)

Tim McClaury, Chino (Wednesdays PM)
Phil Povero, Chino Hills (Wednesdays PM)

 Joel Berry, Chino Hills (Thursdays PM)
Jack Kaylor, Chino Hills (Thursdays PM)

Jill Sandoval, Chino Hills (Wednesdays PM)

Brenda Palmer, Ontario (Tuesdays PM)

Ben Montgomery, Monterey Park (Wednesdays PM)

Chris Cloer, Monterey Park (Wednesdays PM)

Matt Sprankle, Chino Hills (Tuesdays PM)

Jace Allbright, Ontario (Wednesdays PM)

*Childcare provided for all Community Groups 

 

 

 

 

Recreation Groups - Summer months
Small to medium size group of men, women, or mixed who meet for a specific number of weeks for recreation in sports or hobbies. If you are interested in a group, email the church at info@churchinthevalley.com. Past Recreation groups include:

Basketball, Photography, Book Club, Restaurant Dining, Cards/Games, Rock Climbing, Cooking, Day Hiking, Exercise, Golf, Surfing, Target Shooting, and Scrapbooking.


Topic Groups - Periodically
Small group of 4-10 men or women who meet for a specific number of weeks to study topics related to following Christ.

Discipleship Groups - Periodically
Small group of 4-8 men or women who have committed to a lengthy structured training in studying topics related to following Christ and to help each other apply what they learn. The amount of time required should be between 1 &#189; to 2 hours to complete the weekly assignments plus the weekly group meeting (about 2 hours). There is also an orientation seminar, a &quot;windup meeting&quot; and a party.
If you are considering committing to a Discipleship Group here are some things to think about:
&#8226; If you would like some structured training to help you grow as a disciple; a Discipleship group is one way to get that training.
&#8226; If you would welcome some encouragement and accountability to grow in your Christian life; then a Discipleship group might be for you.
&#8226; If you want close fellowship and accountability partners; a Discipleship group is one way to develop those relationships.
&#8226; For more information about Discipleship Groups contact the church office at (909) 860-1672

&quot;God has used Church in the Valley as one of the key tools  that has shaped my training and development.  Nothing can replace time spent with godly leaders who have real life experience in effective ministry.  What I&#39;ve learned during my time here has provided invaluable perspective on how life and ministry really work.  At just the right times, God used key leaders at Church in the Valley to address my particular needs and development issues.  In my opinion, anyone headed into ministry should add this training opportunity to their plans.&quot; 

- Josh De La Rosa, Senior Pastor and Church Planter, Orangecrest Community Church

&quot;Church In the Valley has provided training for me that has impacted all the major areas of my life. Learning from older and wiser men has been invaluable as they have taken the time to show me what ministry looks like in everyday life. I have experienced practical training ranging from how to relate to people to how to develop personal character. I have truly learned how to do ministry in a real and intentional way.&quot;

Church In the Valley was started 20 years ago by Pastor Randy Lanthripe. God gave Randy the vision of launching a new church and Randy started Church In the Valley in Southern California in 1987. The goal was to establish a church to introduce adults to Jesus Christ - to help them grow in their relationship to Him and encourage them to lead their families and friends to follow Christ as well. Hand-in-hand with this mission is to start churches and ministries that do the same. We want people to relate to God in a way that revolutionizes their lives for their good and the good of their familles and friends. CIV exists to provide practical help for people  in all areas of life as they live God&#39;s way. As God has provided through the years we have seen Him work in and through the congregation. In Fall of 2007, Church In the Valley launched a new church, Orangecrest Community Church in the Orangecrest area of Riverside, CA. </description>

<description>


Church In the Valley is a part of the Hope Global Network, a network of churches that have been launched out of Hope Church in Ft. Worth, Texas. Harold Bullock began Hope Church in 1978 with a vision to develop a church that would help people unfamiliar with church become fully devoted followers of Jesus Christ. A main aspect of that vision was developing leaders to start churches around the United States and in other countries. More than 60 churches have been started around the world by people trained at Hope Church. 

As Randy was trained at Hope Church, Harold gave Randy and many other men a vision for how starting certain kinds of churches could greatly impact the people of our local communities, the nation, and the world. We are excited to be a part of something bigger than ourselves as we see God move and direct leaders who are committed to accomplishing the mission God has given.

Have you ever been in a relationship or a part of a group and it felt like a grind? At Church In the Valley we desire to treat each other in a way that honors God and makes relationships enjoyable. We are committed to 7 heart attitudes that guide the way we relate and do church. Here is a list of these attitudes and some Bible references that these attitudes derive from. 

1. Put the goals and interest of others above my own.     Philippians 2:3-4

2. Live an honest, open life before others.     Ephesians 4:25

3. Give and receive Scriptural correction.     Hebrews 3:13

4. Clear up relationships.     Matthew 5:23-24

5. Participate in the ministry of the church.     1 Peter 4:10

6. Support the work financially     1 Corinthians 16:2

7. Follow spiritual leadership within Scriptural limits and make it a joy for them.  Hebrews 13:17</description>

Identify the barriers and choose the attitudes that will develop community.

Understand why it&#39;s so important to live your life in a community of believers.  &quot;When isolated, you may be breathing but you aren&#39;t really alive.&quot;                                                                                                                        </description>

                         This series is an introduction to follies and fools in the Bible which help us to identify our own foolish tendencies so we can live a much more productive life.                                                                 
                         March 13, 2005 - The Way of Wisdom                       Audio:                                                                   
                        If we choose to follow, Jesus Christ will lead us to live a productive life.                       Testimonies:                                                                   
                        March 6, 2005 - Strategies that Self-Destruct and Destroy                        Audio:                                                                   
                        These 3 mockers carve a path of destruction and show us the folly of blind desire, pride and malice.                       
                                                                  
                        February 27, 2005 - Common Strategies that Produce Frustration                        Audio:                                                                   
                        The first 2 mockers take different paths to get their way and end up with the same result??&quot;frustration. Learn how to reduce frustration in life.                       
                                                                  
                        February 20, 2005 - Basic Heart Problems                        Audio:                                                                   
                        God shows us the root of counter productive strategies so we can choose a more productive way.                                                                                          </description>
