Church History: Valley View Alliance Church launched in January 1985. By October of that year, the young church achieved accredited status, laying a strong foundation for four decades of faithful ministry in the York County community. In those early pioneering days, Rev. John Stumbo-who would later become President of The Christian and Missionary Alliance-served as one of the church's first pastors from 1985 to 1987, helping establish the church's spiritual DNA.

Since then, Valley View has been blessed with faithful pastoral leadership. As Valley View celebrates 40 years of ministry in 2025, the church continues its mission to make disciples in their community.
