My wife and I were looking for a church who's teaching is biblically sound, has ridiculous love for everyone, is unashamed in their worship of God and is passionate about making a difference in our valley. We found it at VCC from the first day we walked in the door. We continue to grow in our faith and have opportunities to be used by God. Wherever you are in your faith journey I encourage you to come to VCC. read more

This a church that desires to be the kind of worshippers the Father seeks! Prayer and Worship Hour 9-10am, Main Service begins at 10am. Valley Christian Center offers Celebrate Recovery, GriefShare, and the opportunity to receive prayer at each and every service. read more

I started attending Valley Christian in 2013 right after graduating college. It didn't take long for me to get involved in the youth ministry and then about a year later I got hired on at the school. I wanted to be involved in the mission and vision of VCC - a place that truly believes and loves the next generation. The church is a place of inspired worship and prayer (weekly 9-10am worship and prayer only before the 10:00am service). I can't recommend my church enough! Multi-generational, multi-cultural, and people from all different incomes too. VCC is a place anyone can come and belong... I love it! read more

I love this church! I grew up here, and I always found myself being cared for. The people here invest into others and long for people to encounter God's presence. The worship is amazing and takes you to the throne room of God, and there is intentional time for prayer. The house church ministry really helps people connect with others and grow in one's faith. This is a great church to meet other brothers and sisters and to grow in one's faith! read more

When I first walked into VCC 6 years or so ago I was greeted as if I was already family. That sense of family only continued during my time there. The community I found brought healing and bonds that will last a lifetime. It challenged me in so many ways! I can say that I have a better understanding of the Bible and who God is because if the incredible teaching that I received. VCC also provided a way for me to serve and to use my gifts and talents in a way I had not been able to in the past. Forever grateful. read more

Now that the Dictator Valci and Co. are GONE there's a good chance that many people will return to the church and have it become the holy place that it should should have been all those years that Valci held court and banished people on a regular basis for what he considered to be indiscretion under his authoritarianism! This is not just a personal post but much more than that because there were many instances where their true colors came to light and actually there are accounts from numerous people that confirm what I knew about this man and his wife from the very beginning. God says love even your enemy and I'm working on that and the Forgiveness that God requires. read more

When my wife and I looked for churches, this honestly was the last one on our list. We had visited a few local churches in San Ramon, Pleasanton, Castro Valley... and of all of them... this one was the right size for us. Not too big as to get lost, and not to small as to well... be too small. The actual kicker was our first day. We were greeted at the door upon entrance and wished well upon exit. The people here seemed to care. Fast forward... even through a rough patch in my marriage, the people here didn't look down on me or give dirty stares. There was a genuine care and concern and upon my return (years later), I was met with a lot of joy and happiness. No church is perfect. And church people aren't perfect. But I am very thankful I landed here with my family. You will walk in and know God is here. read more

WOW! What an amazing church my family has gotten into! I could not be more thankful to God for providing this church so close to home for us. The sermons really hit home and Pastor Roger really has a way of preaching where it hits the heart and makes you crave to go back to church the next week. The church is not intimidating at all---in fact the people are very welcoming. I absolutely recommend anyone who is looking for a new church family or is looking for a new church, that you give this church a try. It is truly God's house and an amazing one! read more

I've been attending Valley Christian Center (VCC) for two years now and I have many good things to say about this church: Friendly people, a variety of bible studies are offered throughout the week to accomodate many schedules, the senior pastor teaches the bible from perspectives that often take me by surprise and that always make me examine my personal walk with God - not look at others. There are two Sunday services PLUS bible studies which enable you to attend one service AND a bible study if you so choose, and most importantly, there is much love from others. Oh yes, great worship too with wonderful muscians and singers. Contemporary songs AND hymns are sung! I joyfully anticipate Sunday morning services every week because it's fun to meet with everyone, celebrate worshipping God and get instruction from his holy word. There are a lot of opportunities to volunteer at local agencies because VCC is actively involved in serving the local community. Missions trips to help around the globe are also available. If you're looking for a church, I would highly recommend visiting VCC for a while and maybe taking a bible study class to find out if it's a fit for you and your family. I think you'll love it. read more

Great Place to be if YOU want to experience God's Presence! My family and I have been attending for almost 7 years! And would not think of going somewhere else. Pastor Roger is amazing! He can present In a way that you will understand and connect with the scriptures! The music and worship take you to levels of intimacy with God, that I have never experienced. Many classes and groups to connect with and Great children ministry! They have many house churches(bible studies) that meet during the week to dig deep into the word and make new friends and build relationships! Great people at VCC! Just a beautiful place! read more

Pastor Valci is a creative person who likes to be out-of-the-box in his actions of love and service to the congregation and the community. He actually wants God to attend the services, but he gently leads and guides into new areas. Not a traditional (and often boring) service, but not crazy wild either. They actually think that God wants to come and visit His people beyond our thoughts! How novel! Great childrens, youth, and adult support and encouragement. They also have a great attitude towards serving the community, encouraging the congregation to get involved in CityServe and other community services. What's not to like? A Cult? Hardly!! I know what those are like and this is not that. I'm not a member, I regularaly attend another church in the area. I do know people who attend, and have visited on many occasions. read more

Valley Christian Center is a hub for connections, world-changers and all newcomers. I have felt so welcomed there and the staff and teams are very intentional and caring. I always have some good takeaway after visiting Valley Christian Center, wether it be an insightful challenge from the sermon, a new friend, or great conversation. The worship arts team is outstanding and I love how there is also room to dance, move around, wave flags, or kneel and pray. The venue is always welcoming with plenty of rooms and facilities for classes, and coffee & donuts Sunday mornings. I was in awe my first time visiting VCC and have continued to attend and be a part of the community there for almost three years now. There are so many opportunities to get plugged in and grow at VCC, whether a house church small group or an educational/personal growth class. I love the options and family at Valley Christian Center. read more

I love this church. When my husband and I moved here 6 years ago with no family around, Valley took us in and provided a place where we made friendships that feel like family. We now have strong roots here in the Bay Area largely due to Valley Christian Center. The community is like none other I've experienced, and the services are exactly what I need. I love that Pastor Roger brings meaningful topics to the pulpit for us as a church to wrestle with. The worship team creates an atmosphere where I can hear from God. I'm inspired and encouraged every Sunday. read more

Wonderful School. We have 4 boys going there. Preschool, 2nd, 4th and 7th grade. Amazing Staff. Lovable Teachers.

Valley Christian Center became our home church after my family and I moved to California. We didn't find the church right away, we had visited a few churches before but they didn't feel right.. until we visited Valley Christian Center. As soon as we walked in, we (my husband and I and our 3 kids) felt at home. We found everyone in the church to be so friendly. From Pastor Tawni, who welcomed us into the visitor center, where we were made to feel comfortable to ask questions and share a bit about our story, to Pastor Roger, the lead pastor who insisted to take us out for coffee to get to know us a bit. Valley Christian became our family in California, and a place of refreshing, where we experienced the Presence of God in real and powerful ways. That was our home for 3 years. Since then we have moved back to Florida, but Valley Christian is still a home away from home for me, and still has a special place in my heart. read more

I have been attending VCC's course, "Cleansing Streams" and decided to go ahead and attend the church service afterwards. There are a few things that really impressed --first of all they seem to be a genuine group of people who want to get to know you. Music, prayer, and friendly people make this church approachable for me. I feel welcome and wanted. They want to know you and your life story so that they can support you as Jesus writes the remainder of your life story. The pastor himself was real and told his life story from the pulpit. He told his real story and did not sugar coat the messy and difficult parts . He was real and talked about the struggle he went through as well as the solution God provided when he was a student at the school himself. The messages are clear biblical truth and are delivered in a practical application format. This church seems to deal with real life and as a true testimony of this they have a vast assortment of outreaches into the neighborhood community where members serve. As well, they support the VCC school and the administration, teachers, and students. I look forward to each Sunday morning, the whole experience is changing my life. read more
