What sets God’s people apart is not success, programs, or even miracles. It is His presence. In this final message of our Legacy series, we are reminded that without the presence of God we have nothing of lasting value to pass on. Moses knew this. He would not take a single step without God going with him. Through worship, Scripture, and everyday life, we are invited into a deep and ongoing relati...

Faith isn’t something we reinvent with each generation—it’s a living legacy we receive, embody, and pass on.  In this message from Our Legacy , we reflect on the faith of those who came before us and the responsibility we carry to model that same faith for the generations to come. Through personal stories and Scripture, we’re reminded that faith shapes families, forms communities, and secures the...

The first message in our Legacy series is all about the Legacy of Community —a gift passed down through generations rooted in faith, unity, and belonging.  Pastor Ralph shares stories that celebrate the beauty of intergenerational connection, the power of welcome, and the value of being part of something bigger than ourselves. No matter your age or background, you have a place in God’s family.  We...

Jesus is ALIVE — and because of His victory, we are FREE. This week we close out our Easter series by stepping into the full victory of Jesus. The grave is empty, the curse is broken, and the door is wide open for us to live in real freedom — not just someday in heaven, but right now. This message unpacks the power of Christ’s resurrection, the new life He calls us into (like Lazarus being called...

On Good Friday let’s not rush past the cross. Instead, let’s slow down to remember what Jesus actually went through—for you, for me. He was betrayed, beaten, and gave His life willingly, even while we were still pushing Him away. This message is a raw, honest look at the weight of His sacrifice and how we each have a part to play in the story. If you’ve ever wrestled with failure, betrayal, or the...

This week at Grand Valley, we continue our Easter series by moving from Focus to Celebration . We reflect on the goodness of Jesus, the joy of Palm Sunday, and the call to live a life rooted in trust, surrender, and joy. Even in hard seasons, we are invited to remember God’s faithfulness and celebrate the life He gives. Join us as we declare who Jesus truly is—our Messiah, our Savior, our King—and...

Easter is more than a weekend — it's a sacred season. In this opening message of our 4-part Easter series, Pastor Andrew invites us to slow down and truly focus on Jesus.  We’re called to realign our priorities and prepare our hearts for all that Jesus has done — and is still doing. Whether you're part of our Grand Valley Church family or simply seeking to deepen your faith this Easter, th...

On Sunday we were glad to have Deb Reid sharing with us what it means to be truly positioned in Christ. Walking with Jesus isn’t just about believing — it’s about staying close to Him, reflecting His character, and surrendering to His guidance daily.  Are you positioned close to Jesus, or have you drifted? Listen along as we unpack the call to overcome, the promise of victory, and the incredible i...

In our Our Stories series, we’re coming together as a church family to listen, learn, and be inspired by the real-life testimonies of those in our community. Through these powerful stories, we see how God moves in the midst of life’s challenges, turning pain into purpose and doubt into trust. As we share, we grow—deepening our faith, strengthening our relationships, and celebrating the incredible...

As the church, we are called to stand firm in who God has called us to be. Hold fast to your faith, encourage one another, and pray with the power of the Holy Spirit. In a world that is growing more divided, remain grounded in God’s love. Extend mercy to those who are struggling, reach out to those who are lost, but stand firm against sin. Keep your focus on Christ—He is our anchor, our strength,...

Jude gives us a clear and passionate reminder to stand firm and protect the truth of our faith by living holy lives. It’s a call to action that challenges us to stay faithful, even when it’s not easy. Along the way, we’re reminded of the amazing truth that we’re deeply loved by God the Father and kept secure in Christ.

Advent is a season of expectation and reflection, inviting us to discover the profound and selfless love of God. This love was revealed through the birth of Jesus, God’s ultimate gift to humanity. It’s a love that transcends circumstances, offering hope and purpose. During Advent, we are reminded to not only receive this love but to reflect it in our lives—through acts of kindness, forgiveness, an...

In the book of Nehemiah the Israelites had just rediscovered God's Word and were moved to tears by its power. Yet, Nehemiah encouraged them to celebrate, for God's joy was their source of renewal and hope. This joy is not fleeting happiness tied to external situations; it is a deep, sustaining assurance of God's presence, love, and faithfulness.  When we anchor ourselves in this joy, we find stren...

We can get discouraged when we look at what’s happening in the world.  We’re constantly bombarded with the news of wars and rumours of wars - so the question comes to our minds, is this the end?  Are we living out the fulfilment of Revelation? The answer is yes…and no… We’ve been called to stand as soldiers - to take our positions and understand that we’re responsible for the moment we’ve been pla...
