We hope you will consider joining us for worship. Spring Valley UMC is a community where you will be welcomed. We know visiting a church for the first time isn’t always easy, so we have provided some information about what to expect.
When are the worship services?
Spring Valley offers one Sunday worship service at 10:00 a.m. in the Sanctuary. This is a classic service with our Chancel Choir.
Where can I park?
Park anywhere you see an open space or look for the “Guest Parking” signs mid-way in the parking lot. You will see a parking lot in front of our main entrance at 7700 Spring Valley Road. You can also enter the parking lot from Peyton Drive.
How should I dress?
When visiting Spring Valley, please wear whatever you feel most comfortable in. You will see attire ranging from jeans and casual shirts to suits and ties, and everything in between. We care more about the person inside than the clothes you wear.
Where do my kids go?
Child care for ages kindergarten and under is available during all services. Sunday School for 2-year-olds through 6th grade is offered at 9:00 a.m. and includes Bible stories, missions, and music. During service, we have a “Children’s Moment” to illustrate Christian teachings at a level that children can understand. Following this lesson and the Doxology, children may either continue in worship with their parents or accompany their teacher to worship care.
What do Methodists believe?
United Methodism is a Christian faith that follows the mission statement of "making disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world." The motto of United Methodism is “Open Hearts, Open Minds, Open Doors.”
