Central Valley Presbyterian Church really began in 1998, when four families started gathering together weekly for the purpose of Bible Study. These weekly studies led to discussion on a variety of issues ranging from the role of the Church to the relationship between the Church and the family. Initially, these four families drifted to several different congregations within the Central Valley. Throughout the years, however,  God continued to keep them in close contact with one another as they considered beginning a new work. In 2002, the timing was correct and God’s will was clear. The necessary changes were made to begin meeting as a church.

On February 15th, 2004, forty-eight people gathered together in a living room to begin worship as Central Valley Evangelical Reformed Church. One week later, they secured a lease at the  Central Valley Adventist Academy and since that time God has been faithful to add more than fifty households.

In 2006, the church joined with several other churches throughout the country to form the Covenant Presbyterian Church denomination. Then in early 2007, in order to better describe the church, the decision was made to change the church’s name to Central Valley Presbyterian Church (CVP).

Throughout the life of CVP, the vision has remained the same: to share the Gospel with our community one family at a time through sound doctrine and joyful God-centered worship. May He continue to grow our church and increase our impact throughout the Central Valley and Northern California.
