History
In the case of Valley United Methodist Church, it all began when a long-established church had a need and another established church had a desire to start a new church. An agreement was signed with the West Des Moines Community Schools to rent a multi-purpose room/gymnasium at Western Hills School for $10.00 per Sunday plus $5.00 per Sunday for a classroom --- a new church was born On October 21, 1971, with 117 people in attendance! On March 11, 1973, church services were held for the last time in the Western Hills School gymnasium. At the conclusion of that Sunday morning service, all present trekked to 42nd and Ashworth for the long awaited ground breaking ceremony. Heralding trumpets opened the Consecration Celebration Service on March 10, 1974, with an overflow crowd of 300! Membership reached 195 in mid 1974, then 219 and to 358 by the end of December 1979!
