SscC

History

On Sunday October 1, 1995 the church held its first public service in the cafeteria of Highland High School. The small group of about 30 people from Sun Valley Community Church, led by Gary Norton, were amazed to see over 200 people attend. The church continued to meet at Highland High School for 10 years. Those 10 years at Highland High School was an amazing journey with many changes from one service to two services. Growing from 200 to 600 people. Adding new staff, new leaders, new faces, and new families. It was also an era under the leadership of the founding pastor, Gary Norton. Gary stepped down as the Senior Pastor as SSCC prepared to move to its new home at 4450 E. Elliot Road in 2004.

June 2004 to October 2005 was the “Transition Period” as SSCC searched for a new lead pastor. This was also the time we moved to our current home and watched God grow our church from 600 to 950.

In November 2005, Mark Connelly became the lead pastor of SSCC. Since that time SSCC has experienced unprecedented growth. Adding new services, new staff and the Mission 68 vision! SSCC is still on a journey and our best days still remain in front of us.
