About Shepherd of the Valley

Shepherd of the Valley Presbyterian Church was founded in 1970 and worships on the corner of Colima Road and Park Lawn Road in Hacienda Heights. During the more than 40 years of its mission, the church has grown with the community in diversity of culture. We have three Sunday worship services, beginning at 8:00 a.m. in Mandarin. The 9:30 a.m. service is in English, and is attended by people from the many different cultures that are represented in our community, expressing the diversity of the Body of Christ. Our 11:00 a.m. service is in Taiwanese, serving that large community in Hacienda Heights and the surrounding area.

Additionally, Hosanna Korean Presbyterian Church meets in our sanctuary at 1:00 p.m.

What is a Presbyterian?

The Presbyterian Church is one part of God’s universal Church, the Body of Christ. As such we believe in : God, the Creator of the universe; Christ Jesus, the incarnation of God on earth; the Holy Spirit, the presence of God in the world and in the believer; the Church, the universal company of Christ’s followers; forgiveness of sin, made possible by the death of Jesus Christ on our behalf; life everlasting, shown by the resurrection of Jesus; and the Bible, the inspired word of God.

What is special about Shepherd of the Valley?

Prayer.
Members feel prayer is very important and an essential part of our lives. We value prayer requests from the congregation, prayer groups and the prayer chain that brings members to prayer quickly when any need arises. We watch in awe as God works in response to prayer.

Sacrament and Scripture.
We celebrate Communion at the Lord’s Table monthly. Bible study classes meet on Sundays and Friday evenings.

Mission programs.
Local community mission projects receive enthusiastic support from the congregation. We are involved in projects helping the homeless, working with senior citizens in our neighborhood and working with Habitat for Humanity, to name only a few of our projects.

Friendliness.
All who attend are given a warm welcome, newcomers and old-timers alike.
