At Valley Brook, we are very intentional about supporting mission causes locally, regionally and around the world. Our goal is to use ten percent (10%) of our offerings to do that. We seek a balanced giving program that breaks down in the following manner: Local missions, National missions, International missions, and church planting. Our mission giving includes both one-time gifts and on-going support.

Faith Hope Love and Laughter
