The purpose for the "Serving Yakima Valley" site is to network and promote the community within the community ,the "followers of Jesus Christ".

We believe that we "the church" are much bigger than most perceive and can have a greater impact on our community if we become aware of each other and network our efforts to affect the whole.

It has been on our hearts for years to see the body of Christ in our valley come together. In the past, we thought that meant that we would gather in one location and look alike. Now our vision is to bring the Christian community together on a single website so that all the diverse ministries, Christian leaders, Christian businesses and individual believers in our valley become visible to each other and to our community
