About United Church of the Valley

United Church of the Valley is a congregation, meaning primarily we are a group of people and not a building or institution. It was chartered in 1993 to be a works-oriented, progressive witness in the greater Murrieta area. Our people come from all over the inland valley, including places like Fallbrook, Temecula, Lake Elsinore, Menifee, and Hemet. We do not believe you need a big sanctuary or elaborate facilities to serve God and to be a people of faith on a journey together. We currently set up for worship every Sunday at River Springs Charter School, an independent organization from whom we rent. In addition to weekly worship, our core ministries are:

• Homework Assistance for elementary school students and English as a Second Language classes for adults.
• A global partnership with the village of Chacraseca, Nicaragua. We fund various projects, from music programs to clean water infrastructure. We do a yearly mission trip with our partner to build a home and run a week-long music camp.
• Music ministries: children's music, adult choir and hand bell choir.
• Spiritual formation groups that meet weekly.
