Christ Church Of The Valley! An "INSPIRING STORY" of CHURCH SUCCESS

Pastor Donald Wilson & Congregation: How they OVERCAME ALL OBSTACLES at

Spending his life growing up on a farm in Kansas, Don Wilson developed a heart for evangelism at an early age. Don and his wife Sue, along with their three young children, dedicated their lives to be used in any way possible to win people to Jesus Christ. Here is how the Christ's Church of the Valley story begins…

In 1982, Pastor Don Wilson and a small group of worshipers began meeting in a rented movie theatre. Hundreds of people responded. Lives were changed, marriages were restored, and relationships were healed.

Since then, Christ's Church of the Valley has held services at an elementary school, a strip mall, the "castle", and Deer Valley High School before buying land in Peoria, Arizona in 1996 and moving into permanent facilities in 2000.

Now, 25 years since its inception, over 10,000 people attend Christ's Church of the Valley during weekend services. And through it all, we continue to keep our purpose clear: To win people to Christ, train believers to become disciples, and send disciples to impact the world. It is a ministry grounded in the Word of God, communicated through relevant Bible teaching and a real worship experience.

Messages challenge and help people to change, becoming all that God intends them to be. The vision and ministry of Christ's Church of the Valley extends past the borders of our campus. We fulfill our vision by extensive mission support throughout the Valley, across the country, and around the world.

In the 25 years that Christ's Church of the Valley has existed, we have helped start eleven new churches.
