About Our Church

Valley of Grace is the English Ministry of the Korean Presbyterian Church of Fresno (KPCF), located in Fresno, CA. Our congregation is a multi-ethnic, intergenerational church whose mission is to raise up Spirit-led disciples of Jesus, empowered by the Gospel, who live missionally by planting house churches in the Valley. The average age ranges from college students to young families. Our strength in ministry is making disciples and modeling life with Christ through House Church (Acts 2:46-47). We are looking to welcome a full-time English Ministry Lead Pastor who will faithfully shepherd our church toward God’s vision, help our church grow dynamically in diversity, and shepherd the growth of our House Church ministry.
