United Faith Community Church - Upcoming Events

Operation Christmas Child Shoe Box

United Faith Community Church will be participating Samaritan's Purse Operation Christmas Child shoebox.

Operation Christmas Child is a project of Samaritan's Purse, an international relief organization. Their mission is to provide local partners around the world with shoeboxes filled with small toys, hygiene items, and school supplies as a means of reaching out to children in their own communities with the Good News of Jesus Christ. They ship these simple gifts out outside of the United States, to children affected by war, poverty, natural disaster, famine, and disease.

Collection of shoe boxes will take place November 18th - 25th.

If you are interested in participating, please reach out to the church office at office@ufcc.church

Specifically, the belief in one God, that Jesus is God's only son, the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, and trusting in the Holy Scriptures as God's direct communication of His will for our lives. We accept all the tenants of the Apostles and Nicene Creeds.

Members value the ideal of service to others and ministry to those in need.

About the Church

The United Faith Community Church was a union of three separate churches, each having a rich heritage in the town of Valley. The Baptist Church was organized in May of 1878 in the railroad section house at Mercer. The church was incorporated in 1891 under the name of the Scandinavian Baptist Church of Valley. In 1892, a small band of members moved into the town of Valley and established a church. The two groups reunited in town in 1917. The present building was constructed in 1918. The Methodist Church was organized by a group of railroad workers in 1869 under the Methodist Episcopal faith. In 1887, a church building was erected in the downtown Valley. The church moved from this building in 1969 to the church on Alexander Street (which had been the home to both the Presbyterian Church and St. Mark's Lutheran Church) where it operated independently until April of 2004. The First Presbyterian Church of Valley was organized in 1891 and the church building was built in 1891. Times were difficult for all the churches in the depression era and during the 1930's, talks were held to discuss the uniting of all three Protestant churches in town. These talks culminated in the federation of the Baptist and Presbyterian churches in 1941. These two churches operated as the Baptist-Presbyterian Church until the formal mergers of all three churches in March of 2005. Together, the three churches represented 377 years of combined ministry at that time. We truly have a rich heritage in the past, yet we look forward to serving Christ in the future as United Faith Community Church.

Currently, we are affiliated with American Baptist Churches - USA.
