Meet our team
The Henry Family
This is our Pastor and his family! The Henry Family joined Valley Christian Center in October 2019. Chris and Beverly have been a part of church ministry for a combined 50 years, serving in many roles, and taking on tasks where there has been a need.
​
They both felt the unmistakable call to pursue full-time pastoral ministry in 2018. After seeking direction from God for a year, they were led to serve as Lead Pastors at Valley Christian Center. Their children, Melody, Liam, and Trinity are already finding new roles in ministry here! Train them up as they should go....


Pastor Chris Henry
Pastor Chris joined Valley Christian Center in October of 2019.
He spent 33 years ministering in the church where his father was lead pastor, serving as worship pastor, youth pastor, and Director of Christian Education. He is passionate about helping others build a relationship with God the Father and Jesus Christ through the Holy Spirit, because it's easy to receive from someone you know and love.
​
Chris is an Ordained minister with the Assemblies of God. He received his education through Berean School of the Bible at Global University, as well as earning a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration from CSU-Stanislaus.
​
Pastor Chris also had a 20 year career in Health Care Business Development. Today, Chris brings all these experiences and now uses them to further God's Kingdom, including authoring the book, "The 8th Church: The Shining Church of California."

She is a well known and respected singer up and down the West Coast, singing with her traveling family vocal band for over 25 years. She also spent 5 years as worship leader for a local church right here in Ceres. She brings with her an ability to combine current modern praise songs with classic hymns of the church, making our worship truly inter-generational and uplifting for people of all ages.
