Plan a Visit to Valor Church | Church in Arvada, CO

Valor Church exists to make disciples who glorify God and live with courage and virtue. That is what our name means, courage and virtue, in men and women alike. We believe this time and place needs both more than ever.

We are a theologically grounded church in northwest Arvada, Colorado, and the Bible is our source for truth and instruction.

But that is only part of who we are. We are relationally driven and built for families. From newborns to grandparents, every generation belongs here, and our kids ministry is dynamic enough that your children will ask to come back.

Most of all, we are here to help you stop drifting and start building resilient faith.

We’ll make Sunday easy.

Walking into a new church is awkward. We know that. So let us take the guesswork out of it before you ever pull into the parking lot.

No commitment. No obligation. Just show up.

Who We Are

Valor Church is an autonomous, elder-led church in Arvada, Colorado. We partner with the Send Network and Vintage Mission, two church-planting networks devoted to launching new churches and strengthening existing ones. We are governed and led locally by a plurality of elders who answer to scripture and to this congregation.

We preach expository, verse-by-verse through books of the Bible. The steady diet of a believer is going through the text, passage by passage, and not skipping the hard ones. We will do topical series when the moment calls for it. But the Bible drives the plan.

People are driving from across Arvada, including the Candelas, Five Parks, Leyden Ranch, and Whisper Creek neighborhoods, as well as Westminster, Broomfield, Wheat Ridge, and Superior. A church that actually preaches the Bible, feels like family, and invests in your kids is worth the drive.

Valor is intergenerational. Not built for one age group. Young families are a priority. Valor Kids and Valor Youth are full ministries designed to partner with you as a parent, not replace you. Starting August 30, Valor moves to two Sunday services.

FAQs

What should I wear to Valor Church?
Whatever you are comfortable in. You will see everything from jeans to dress shirts on a Sunday morning. We care far more about you being in the room than what you wore to get there.

How long is the Sunday service?
A typical Sunday service at Valor runs about 75 to 90 minutes. That includes worship, announcements, and a full expository sermon. We do not rush it.

What is the Sunday service like at Valor?
You can expect genuine corporate worship, expository verse-by-verse preaching straight from the Bible, and a room full of real people who are not pretending. We are a church plant, which means we are still growing, but the substance is there from day one.

Is Valor Church a good fit for families with kids?
Yes. We are intentionally built for families. Valor Kids is a full ministry for children birth through 5th grade. Valor Youth is for 6th through 12th grade on Wednesday nights. And the Sunday sermon is designed to give parents something to bring home and talk about with their kids.

Is Valor Church near Candelas or Five Parks in Arvada?
Yes. Excel Academy, where Valor meets, is in the northwest Arvada corridor that serves the Candelas, Five Parks, Leyden Ranch, and Whisper Creek neighborhoods. People are also driving from Westminster, Broomfield, Wheat Ridge, and Superior. A church that actually preaches the Bible, feels like family, and invests in your kids is worth the drive.

What can I expect on my first Sunday at Valor?
You will walk in, be greeted by someone on the welcome team, and find a seat. Worship starts at 10am. Starting August 30, we move to two services at 8:30am and 10:30am. After the service, the best next step is filling out a connect card so we know you were here. It is how we make sure someone follows up and that you are not just a face in a room.

Is Valor Church a mobile church?
Yes. Valor is currently a mobile church that meets at Excel Academy in northwest Arvada. We are in the process of acquiring permanent land in the Candelas area. Being mobile has not slowed us down. The church is the people, not the building.
