Leadership Team

Our Pastors

Lane Hardy – Pastor

After over a dozen years of ministry in churches in Wyoming and Kansas, in 1990 Lane came to Loveland to plant and lead Valley Christian Church.  Fueled with a passion to see people come to and grow in a personal relationship with Jesus, Lane seeks to instruct and inspire through his messages and lifestyle.

Sam Hardy – Teaching Pastor

Sam grew up in Valley Christian Church and recently graduated from Trinity Evangelical Divinity School with a Master’s of Divinity. He is currently working on his Master’s in Counseling Ministry and has a passion for sharing the love of Jesus with everyone around him, especially young people.


Our Elders

Valley is led by a tremendous group of couples who work in harmony with the pastor and the church staff to ensure that the church moves forward under the guidance of the scripture. This current group of leaders has served Valley faithfully since 2005. Contact any of the leaders (by clicking on their picture) with questions that you have about our church.

“Have confidence in your leaders and submit to their authority, because they keep watch over you as those who must give an account. Do this so that their work will be a joy, not a burden, for that would be of no benefit to you.”
Hebrews 13:17
