Church in the Park is a valley-wide worship gathering hosted by the Snoqualmie Valley Ministerial Association, bringing together churches and community members from across the region for one extraordinary Sunday.

On Sunday, August 24th at 10:00 AM, we’ll leave the walls of our buildings behind and gather as One Church in the heart of the Valley—lifting up the name of Jesus through worship, prayer, a brief gospel message, communion, and a sending blessing.

This is a free, open invitation to all—whether you’re part of a local church or simply curious about faith and community. After the service, stay and enjoy food trucks, fun activities, and meaningful connection with others from across the community.

Who is the Snoqualmie Valley Ministerial Association (SVMA)?

The Snoqualmie Valley Ministerial Association (SVMA) is a partnership of local churches and pastors united in prayer, mission, and care for our Valley.

The SVMA began in the 1970s when pastors joined together to create a shared food pantry, ensuring coordinated care for those in need. In 1988, the association became a nonprofit organization to better support community outreach and benevolence efforts.

Today, the SVMA exists to:

• Further the unity of the Body of Christ through shared worship, prayer, and service
• Bless our community through collaborative outreach, benevolence, and compassion

One of the SVMA’s active ministries is Helping Hands—a care initiative collaboratively led by five local churches that provides support to those facing financial hardship. More than just meeting physical needs, Helping Hands seeks to connect individuals to lasting hope through Christ and authentic community.
