At North Valley, we consistently hear stories of growth and Bri Conley’s journey is an incredible example of that. She shares, “People are very inviting and genuine in terms of how welcoming they are. Everyone is sincere and has a heart to help others and be a church for anyone who wants to come in.” For Bri, this warmth and acceptance made all the difference, allowing her to feel at home from her very first visit.

Before joining North Valley, Bri faced significant challenges, struggling with anxiety and enduring a difficult situation. However, her experiences at the church brought newfound hope and healing. “Since being here at North Valley, I have let go of a lot of control, stress, and anxiety in my life,” she reflects. Each service provided nourishment for her spirit, addressing her struggles and demonstrating the incredible ways the Holy Spirit can move.

Bri’s involvement with the worship team further deepened her sense of belonging and purpose. “Becoming a part of the worship team really saved me from who I am as a person,” she shares. This opportunity not only held her accountable but also revitalized her faith. “Continuing to see people worship gives me strength," she adds, emphasizing how witnessing others seek Jesus inspires her own spiritual journey. Music has always been her passion, and finding a place in worship was a blessing that enriched her life. “It has helped me with courage and my self-worth,” she explains, illustrating the profound personal changes she has experienced because of her faith community.

Bri’s testimony speaks to the remarkable transformation she has undergone. “Coming from a place where I have been to so many churches and discouraged by so many churches, being able to finally find the right church has been incredible,” she notes. While North Valley may not be the perfect fit for everyone, Bri believes its commitment to the teachings of the Bible creates a space where individuals can grow in their relationship with Christ. “Just by being there, you will be blessed in so many ways,” she asserts, offering hope to those seeking a sense of belonging and purpose.

Today, Bri finds herself on a remarkable path, having transitioned from homelessness in her teen years to thriving in her career. “I have the blessing of working for an amazing Godly woman, who is the best boss I have ever had and happens to attend North Valley as well,” she shares proudly.

Her journey is a testament to the profound impact that faith, community, and hope can have on one’s life.
