Beginning Oct 18

Beginning October 18, Valley Life Church Tramonto will begin a new Sunday rhythm with gatherings at 9:00 AM, 10:30 AM, and 5:00 PM.

This isn't simply about changing service times—it's about creating more opportunities for people to gather, worship, serve, lead, and invite others into the life of our church.

As we continue making disciples and planting churches, we believe God is calling us to establish Valley Life as a Gospel outpost on Sunday evenings, creating another opportunity for people to hear the Gospel, grow in community, and encounter Jesus.

Our prayer is that, as God's grace extends to more and more people, our community becomes unavoidably and undeniably more Christian, thanksgiving increases, and God receives more glory.

"For it is all for your sake, so that as grace extends to more and more people it may increase thanksgiving, to the glory of God."
2 Corinthians 4:15

First and foremost, Valley Life has been formed around the teaching of the gospel. We want to be very clear about what this means. The Bible is not just a collection of stories, but rather one cohesive narrative that contains:
