Grace Valley Church began in the fall of 2015 when Paul started sharing the vision of a new gospel-centered church in Dundas with people of like-minded interest. Over time, God gathered a group of about 50 people around this common vision and they started meeting together to study, pray, and dream together during the winter and spring of 2016. We celebrated milestones together, mourned losses together, and forged a relationship as a church family.
By June, we felt ready and excited to introduce ourselves to the community through a variety of missional activities. Church picnics, backyard barbecues, neighbourhood canvassing and prayer walks were all used to introduce Dundas to Grace Valley Church. In July, we held the first of three planned monthly public worship services in rented spaces throughout town. Now that we’ve begun weekly worship services, we look forward to establishing ministries to bless the community and share Christ’s love with our awesome town.
In 2001, Paul began working as a youth pastor at Springdale Christian Reformed Church. In 2005, he was ordained in the CRC and became pastor of Calvin Christian Reformed Church in Dundas. Over the next 10+ years, the people under his care patiently helped him grow as a preacher and pastor. In the fall of 2015, Paul and Jessica left Calvin CRC to plant Grace Valley Church in Dundas.

Mark, his wife, and their children, love Dundas and have lived here since 2010. After over a decade working in landscape construction, he set out to pursue a call to ministry and began taking counselling courses through CCEF in Glenside, PA, eventually completing their available certificate programs. He is currently completing his M. Div. and is under the care of our presbytery.

Megan is excited about the opportunity to be part of a team that’s passionate about Jesus and the gospel and is intentionally working to share what it means to have life in Christ. She knew Dundas was a community she wanted to invest in. After being part of the launch team for a few months, the opportunity to be the music coordinator and administrator came up. Megan knew this was a great way to use her time and gifts to serve God and others.
