About Us
Often in
our spiritual journeys, God uses past hurt and brokenness to help us
better understand others in similar situations. Such is the case for us at
Mid-Valley Fellowship. Through our own lives and experiences, God has
enabled us to "comfort ... with the comfort [we] have received from God"
(II Corinthians 1:4b).
