Valley Real Life started as a small church of 125 families that was planted by Real Life Ministries in Post Falls, ID. We have since become a multigenerational church of about 2,500 people who value deep relationships with Jesus and each other. We want people at VRL to feel like they’re part of a family, can walk through the highs and lows of life together, and find a safe place to be real and grow deeper in relationship.

We are a multigenerational church in the Spokane Valley that guides and journeys in relationship with imperfect people. We inspire people to courageously move forward together, supporting each other as we collectively grow in our faith. We meet people where they’re at and want to build community that grows into lifelong relationships. We believe that Jesus changes lives and want to walk with you through that journey.
