Missions

The purpose of Missions at Valley Bible Church is to fulfill the Great Commission given to us by Jesus Christ.  We reach out to the unsaved beyond our local sphere of influence in an intentional way:  by showing the love of Jesus Christ through ministering to human need; by assisting in church planting beyond our borders; and by supporting those who are called to serve.

If you have a heart to serve on the Missions Team, please contact Deedi Barker (858) 484-7997 or Carolee Villegas (760) 739-0765.
