About this church
Valley Christian Fellowship is an Evangelical Free congregation serving the Santa Ynez Valley with a mission to know Christ, make him known, and do what Jesus did. Its core practices include Scripture, prayer, hospitality, generosity, discipleship, and service. Sunday worship combines traditional hymns and modern songs with practical, text-centered biblical teaching, while home groups, recovery, missions, intergenerational mentoring, and family ministries carry that formation into the week.
Sunday worship begins at 9:30 a.m. at Santa Ynez Valley Christian Academy, 891 North Refugio Road; the church office is in Solvang, so visitors should distinguish the worship location from the administrative address. A current verse-by-verse series through Mark began August 23, 2026. Children’s ministry serves birth through fifth grade in developmentally grouped classes, and Awana extends through sixth grade, although the public children’s page does not list a stable Awana hour. Middle- and high-school ministries include Life Groups, retreats, mission travel, and Fireside mentoring, but their current weekly times likewise require confirmation. The worship page highlights coffee or meals as part of welcoming newcomers, and several home groups meet through the week for deeper relationships. Families should plan around the verified 9:30 Sunday service and contact the ministry team for age-specific schedules.
