STEEL VALLEY CHURCH MINISTRIES

  • Our Men’s Ministry is committed to establishing long-term friendships, fellowship opportunities, biblical teaching, and having fun. We biblically train and equip men to be spiritual leaders in their homes, in the church, and in the workplace. Various growth opportunities are planned and organized throughout the year including weekly Bible Studies and Men’s Retreats.

  • Our Women’s Ministry is devoted to promoting the loving of God with all of the heart, soul, strength, and mind; unifying the body of Christ; and encouraging the call to Christ's ambassadorship. Steel Valley women’s ministry hosts frequent fellowship events, as well as day conferences and retreats.

  • Every Thursday at SEVEN, young adults meet to do Matthew SEVEN:SEVEN! The gathering meets at the church! They exist to provide a safe place to ask questions, grow together as friends, and understand the meaning of life.

    Nursery: 3-mo. olds - 3 yr. olds

  • Our international ministry team actively pursues genuine relationships at Youngstown State University through consistent engagement in university events, international fellowship on campus, and frequent dinners throughout the year. We strategically partner with Friends Around The World at YSU where we are able to host events in the church and other various opportunities to proclaim the Gospel and share Jesus Christ with the unreached people groups local to the campus.

  • The Steel Valley Church’s Ministry Apprenticeship is an intensive program designed to expose those considering or pursuing a future in ministry to hands-on ministry work and training across various types of ministry. This exposure comes through theological reflection, pastoral mentoring, and supervised experience over one year period. Each apprentice is expected to dedicate a minimum of four hours per week to SVC in addition to their regular church involvement. The apprenticeship is not a small commitment and should be viewed as an investment in hands-on ministry training.

  • The Steel Valley Church’s Pastoral Fellowship is an advanced, immersive program designed for individuals with prior pastoral ministry experience and formal theological education who seek to further develop their competencies in ministry leadership. This program emphasizes theological reflection, pastoral mentoring, and supervised ministerial engagement over a one-year period.
