A once-in-a-generation transformation of South Valley’s grounds
We’ve made huge progress in 2025:
- Brand-new parking lot
- Improved, closer ADA parking
- New sidewalks for safe access
- Grounds and landscaping are nearly complete
These changes already make South Valley more welcoming, more accessible, and more beautiful for everyone who arrives on our campus.
We Need One More Gift!
What began as a simple pavement replacement has grown into a full re-imagining of how we use our outdoor space. And honestly? It was the right call. With contractors on site, we had a rare chance to do things the smart way—once, instead of in expensive phases years apart.
This larger vision has come with a larger price tag. Thanks to generous donors, partners, grants, and our original congregational gift, we’ve covered most of it.
But to finish the work and pay for it, we need one more round of congregational generosity.
We Need YOU
Now that you’ve seen the transformation with your own eyes and understand the true cost of building something that will last, we’re asking every member and friend to give what feels significant to you.
If it’s an amount you can give without thinking, please reach deeper.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime investment in our congregation today, and for the generations that will follow.
