We're going to bless our buddy Kevin Carpenter and his family this Saturday, March 13 in anticipation of his return from Afghanistan where he is serving as a medic with the Marines on the ground.
We'll be working on the yard and house to get them in tip-top shape for his homecoming in April/May. We'll be doing yardwork and pruning.  Bring work gloves and any pruning tools you might have. A shovel will also be good as we'll be spreading bark in flower beds.
Meet at the church (730 Concepcion Avenue, Spring Valley, CA 91977) at 8:00 am if you don't know where the Carpenter home is. Someone will be there to help guide you.  Or if you get lost somehow, call Pastor steve at (619) 277-2671.

The pastors at SVCC believe that even the youngest child can learn about God's love. While we always welcome children in worhsip services, we provide a cry room and a full nursery at all times. Our nursery staff is and dedicated to providing the best care for your children. Additionally, kids up to 6th grade are dismissed for a kid-friendly message duirng the Sunday message. During the week, SVCC runs a very fun, high energy Awana club for kids K-12. Awana is an exceptional program that emphasizes Bible learning, friendships and fun. "There is no program as thorough, productive and engaging as Awana - and I have seen a lot of programs for kids," says Pastor Steve Babbitt. 

SVCC is a Bible-believing fellowship out to make a difference in Spring Valley by sharing the peace, hope and justice of Jesus Christ. People at SVCC come from all walks of life and various backgrounds. While our Full Doctrinal Statement (read more below) will probably answer all of the major questions about what we believe, we invite you to connect with one of our pastors ( This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

Everyone is encouraged to "come as you are" - just the way Jesus would probably like it. Some wear suits and ties, while most wear casual clothing such as jeans, t-shirts and sandals.

Worship and prayer is followed by a message for adults (and an optional kid's church time for kids ages 4 - 6th grade). Messages are on relevant topics from a Biblical persepctive, and delivered by Pastor Steve Babbitt or Pastor Javier Rodriguez.
