About The Valley Church

  • The Valley is a new church in Lilydale, having started in 2024 with team building, planning and dreaming. The pastors, Britt and Josh had a passion to start a local church where people would genuinely feel welcome and safe in exploring their faith. God led them to Lilydale together with a team of people who were keen to support them to fulfil a God-inspired dream.

    Our church is made up of everyday people from different backgrounds who believe Jesus provides hope and purpose in a world where things don’t always make sense. Whether you’ve never been to church, are returning after a long time, or are just curious, there’s a place for you at The Valley. We all have a story and every story matters. We’d love to hear yours.

  • We share a statement of belief with over 90 other churches throughout Australia, as part of the Acts Global Churches movement.

    • The one true and living God who eternally exists in three persons in unity: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

    • The Divine inspiration and authority of the Holy Scripture.

    • The original perfection of creation; the inherent corruptness of humanity through the Fall; the necessity of repentance and regeneration by grace and through faith in Christ alone, and the eternal separation from God of the finally unrepentant.

    • The virgin Birth, sinless life atoning death, triumphant Resurrection, ascension and continuing intercession of our Lord Jesus Christ, His Second Coming, and eternal Kingdom reign.

    • The justification and sanctification of believers through the finished work of Christ, their security as they remain in Him, and their future resurrection in an incorruptible body.

    • The Sacrament of Baptism by immersion, and of the Lord's Supper.

    • The baptism of the Holy Spirit for believers with supernatural signs, empowering the Church for its mission in the world.

    • The gifts of the Holy Spirit for the building up of the Church and ministry to the world.

    • Christ's leadership of the Church through the ascension ministries of apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers, for the unity, maturity and growth of the Church.

    • The privilege and responsibility of wise stewardship of all that God has given, including the practice of tithing to the local church.

    • We believe that the covenant of marriage is the union of a man and a woman who have voluntarily entered into a loving, committed and exclusive relationship for as long as both live.

  • Our values reflect our hearts and why we do what we do:

    Generous
    We are generous because Jesus is generous. Our hearts long to share with others. Our desire is to reflect who Jesus is through serving others and giving to those in need.

    Authentic
    We want to be a church where you can simply be yourself. A place where people can freely ask questions without a fear of being judged. A place to connect, be honest and grow both emotionally and spiritually.

    Devoted
    More than anything, we love Jesus and are unashamedly devoted to Him. He sets the example for how we should live our lives and how we treat those around us. Our desire is to gain a deeper understanding of who God is through our connection with Him and other people.
