Valley Baptist Cares

We all need a little help sometimes. Whether you're in need of help or in a place where you can offer help, we want to connect you with each other.

PRAYER MINISTRY

We are a church that prays, believing that prayer is the power source behind everything that happens in our ministry.

We encourage you to pray for our nation, church, and ministries throughout the year. Below is a link to our annual 2024 Prayer Guide created for the January 2024 House of Prayer event, with specific praises and prayer needs that you can lift up. Click below to download a copy!
