This is an exciting time of growth, renewal and a fresh start at Valley Fellowship. After over seventy years of impactful ministry in Buena Vista and Chaffee County, it is a new season of ministry in our church. Our Lead Pastor, Brett Crimmel, just joined our team this year and brings over 25 years of pastoring young, growing churches primarily in Colorado - starting, merging and leading churches - developing leaders at every level.
Our Family Ministry is ready for a strong leader with a bold vision. Our facility has been recently renovated and upgraded. Our children’s ministry environments are in the process of reopening after the pandemic. With volunteers and resources waiting, the new Family Pastor will have the opportunity to cast a vibrant vision, develop teams and leaders, and see families reached with the life-changing message of the gospel. If you’re a creative, entrepreneurial, visionary leader - this position might be perfect for you!
