Senior Pastors

Ed & Michele Carter

Our Senior Pastors, Ed and Michele, have an incredible heart and vision for helping people step into the amazing plans God has for their lives.

Answering a call from Psalm 78, they launched Valley Church in 2007 with a vision to empower a new generation. Ed and Michele firmly believe in the future of the local church, and its essential role in the community.

Ed is a strong leader and strategist with a gift in developing leadership potential in others. He is a dynamic speaker who communicates from the heart with energy. Michele loves people and has a passion for making church welcoming to everyone and a place people can call home.

Ed and Michele have been married for over 30 years and have three children, Jonathan, Thomas and Abigail. As a family they love food, adventurous holidays and skiing.
