The SVA StorySnoqualmie Valley Alliance Church officially began November 7th, 1999 in the cafeteria of Opstead Elementary School with one full time and one part time leader, and ten families.Our two founding pastors, Monty Wright and Marty Benedict, wanted to reach the unchurched of the Snoqualmie Valley with the relevant, life changing message of Jesus Christ. Valley residents, as well as "Eastsiders" and "Seattleites," have responded to this message in SVA's fun, casual, and friendly environment. During the first year, our church family grew to about 250 people, and we've continued to grow steadily. While our meeting location has changed a few times over the years, our love for Christ and our passionate desire to make Him known and accessible to the world around us, hasn't changed. Whether you've grown up going to church, or have no church background at all, SVA is a church that loves you just the way you are. We are a Christian and Missionary Alliance church that attempts to teach the truths of the Bible in creative, compelling and relevant ways. Come see why so many children, students, singles, couples and families are making SVA a part of their week. We invite you to join us as we journey together. ON THE HORIZON... WINTER/SPRING 2008The initial phase of the Building Faith campaign is behind us, and SVA learned much from the experience. In addition to raising $2.5 million, we grew in faith, trust and relationship with the Lord and our church family. It was a transformative time! As we enter the New Year, we're looking forward to hosting a myriad guest speakers and special events from our expanding facility. Check the website regularly for more details...OUR PURPOSETo lead people to an Encounter with Jesus Christ, and become members of His family. To Encourage them in Christ-like living, and Equip them to Engage in their ministry, both in the church and in the world so that God’s name is Exalted.OUR MISSIONSnoqualmie Valley Alliance is a place where people find answers to life’s tough questions in an accepting, relaxed, and loving atmosphere that helps them discover God’s plan for their lives and empowers them to make a meaningful, lasting impact on their community and the world.OUR VISION – A WORD FROM LEAD PASTOR MONTY WRIGHTWhen I speak of vision, I am talking about what I believe God has in store for this church. I ask myself the question: “If I could do anything for God, and know that there is no way I could fail, what would I do?” After a lot of prayer, I realized that the answer to that question was the vision for Snoqualmie Valley Alliance.
When I seek God and what He wants for this church, I see:
A church where people from all walks of life and of every race will find love, compassion, forgiveness, and healing. In short, I see a true sanctuary, a refuge. A place where people will grow deeper and stronger in their faith in Jesus Christ through groups that minister to the whole person: physical, emotional, spiritual, and social. A church where people are empowered and equipped for life and ministry through teaching and practical training. A church where hundreds are actively involved in both short-term and long-term missions projects, reaching our neighbors near and far with the Good News of Jesus. A church that has a heart for families and makes children a priority. A safe place where kids are shown the love of Jesus and prepared for whatever their future holds. A place where teens can find love, acceptance and answers to their questions. A place where they find belonging and can develop their gifts. A church where God’s word is spoken in a relevant style, where Sunday’s message can be put into action on Monday. A church where worship is authentic and vibrant. A church where God is the focus, and people are encouraged to honor Him with their whole person. The Scriptures tell us that without vision, the people perish. God has called us to a great “God-sized” future. By His grace, together, we can make an impact in our community and the world!
