Dear Friend,

Welcome to Ottawa Valley Vineyard.  Though we've only been up and running for less than four years, this church began as a dream in our hearts well over a decade ago.   Since that time we've been longing to build a worshiping community that would be a true spiritual home for our family and also for many others.

Our motto is: "Loving God, Loving People, Having Fun".  What that means is we're trying to build a church that values authentic relationship over religion where the programs serve the people and not the other way around.  To us that's fun!  That's a place that I can call home. 

I feel very blessed.  Not every pastor gets to feel like this, but to me, Sunday morning, doing church with our community is the true highlight of my week.  My church is my home.  

Please come and visit some time.  We're far from perfect.  Every one of us has little messes in our lives, but just maybe our church will feel like your home too.

Sincerely,

Ahren Summach (pastor guy)
