About Valley Church
Valley Church is located in Cupertino, California, near Apple and many other leading technology companies in the heart of Silicon Valley. Our area is a uniquely strategic and spiritually challenging place to do ministry. God continues to bring people from around the world to our community, giving us the opportunity to proclaim Christ and make disciples among a multitude of nations and backgrounds.
We are committed to becoming a church increasingly marked by biblical depth and gospel‑shaped community as we grow together in Christ and make Him known where He has placed us. We are seeking a full‑time Pastor of Worship and Welcome who will provide pastoral leadership for our Sunday gatherings, which average 350-400 in attendance, by overseeing our gathered worship, congregational singing, and welcome ministries.

The KPP also provides broader pastoral oversight for the KP, helping align it with Valley Church’s mission, doctrine, and discipleship priorities.
