Christ's Church of the Valley (CCV) is an Evangelical Christian megachurch located in Peoria, Arizona, found in northwestern Maricopa County. The church was founded in 1982 by senior pastor Dr. Donald Wilson. Weekend church attendance exceeds 15,000, making it the largest non-denominational church in Arizona and the 16th largest church in the United States.[1] The church currently employs over 100 full-time and part-time staff members.

History

In 1982, Pastor Don Wilson and a small group of worshipers began meeting in a rented movie theater. Since then, CCV has held services at an elementary school, a strip mall, and Deer Valley High School before buying land in Peoria, Arizona, in 1996 and moving to its current location in 2000.

The church contains a 3,200 seat stadium-style center, besides a bookstore and a coffee shop.

In January 2011, Parkway Christian Church announced it would be merging with CCV. Parkway is located in Surprise, AZ. The combined church will have over 20,000 members. The merger is expected to be complete by April 2011.
