Valley Baptist Church Marks Move to a New Home

New Location for Valley Baptist Church in Wiley

After being headquartered at the Wiley Community Center for the past eight years, the Valley Baptist Church is Wiley is moving to Highway 50, just north of Lamar. 

The building is on the north side of the highway, and has been vacant for a number of years.  Pastor Douglas Sanford, who hails from Kirk, Colorado, said half the building will be used for a sanctuary and the remaining half will be used as a fellowship hall.  The renovations to the building are still a work in progress with insulation and studded sheetrock being installed and there’s still a need for seats and carpet work, as well as interior doors and trim work.  All the utilities have been installed and CDOT has approved the entrance and exit from the church parking lot to the highway. 

Pastor Sanford said his congregation has about 20 members and the new location will offer more visibility and a better location, even if some parishioners have to drive a little more to get to services.  He added that an Appreciation Sunday is being planned for sometime in March for those who have contributed to the new facility.  Call 829-4803 for information regarding church hours and worship services.
