About us
Welcome!
Sangamon Valley Church carries forward the legacy of Sangamon Valley Christian Center, which began in September of 1980 with a handful of families led by Pastor Brent and Judy Roberson. Their heart was to plant a Spirit-filled church in Mahomet, and they began gathering at the Community Center. Within a year, the growing church moved into an oversized garage at “The Green House” on Spring Lake Road. In 1984, they purchased the building on Washington Street, which continues to serve as our home for worship and ministry today. While the name has changed, the mission and Spirit-filled foundation remain the same as we build on the past and look toward the future as Sangamon Valley Church.
The desire of Pastor Brent and Judy to be a Spirit-filled family church for the community was birthed, and it continues today under the leadership of Pastor Caleb and Andrea Ingrum. Gather with our church family as we learn to be missionaries in our world.
Jesus Christ,
The Savior
Jesus Christ is the only hope of humanity. Jesus loved us and died to save us from the penalty of our sin and rebellion. The salvation He brings begins with a person’s decision to put
faith in Him. That decision opens a lifetime of being healed, restored, delivered from oppression, and set free to stand in spiritual, emotional, and physical wholeness (Luke 4:18).
Jesus Christ,
The Baptizer with The Holy Spirit
Some of Jesus’ last words to His disciples concerned empowerment.
He charged them to carry on the good works He modeled for them.
He promised that He would send the Holy Spirit to give them the power to spread the good news about Him.
On the Day of Pentecost, in Acts 2,
the disciples experienced the presence and power of God
as they became witnesses
of Jesus Christ.
Jesus Christ,
The Healer
Jesus went about “doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him” (Acts 10:38). Jesus draws us to Himself in love and then touches us with
healing power. He perpetuates that healing power by promising that signs and wonders would follow His followers as they went out to minister (Mark 16).
Jesus Christ,
The Soon-coming King
As Jesus ascended into Heaven,
the angels declared that He would return to take His church to live with Him forever (Acts 1). This is the great hope of those who believe
in Jesus as their Savior (John 14:1-3).
Youth Ministry
Youth is a unique period of life, one filled with exploration, discovery, excitement, and fulfillment. The SVC Youth Group provides a nurturing, loving environment for young people exploring the world. It is a safe place where faith guides exploration and self-discovery.
Our 6th-12th graders meet throughout the school year for a time of connection, Bible Study, and having fun together. Contact the church office to find out when they are meeting next.

Children's Ministry
Kids Min is the children’s ministry (birth through 5th grade) of SVC and our goal is to make this your child’s favorite part of the week!
With trained volunteers, fun music, great games, and Bible teaching, we seek to communicate the love of God and the story of Jesus to your children in a relevant way and keeps their attention. We utilize the Tru Fire curriculum from My Healthy Church in our children’s ministry.
Children are encouraged to attend their age-specific classrooms, which are downstairs. However, children are also welcome to remain in service with their parents.
If you need a place to take care of a baby or young child, we have a Mother’s Room available with a few toys and diaper changing supplies. The Mother’s Room is located upstairs through the double doors at the back of the Sanctuary across from where you entered and up the stairs to the left.
