• The GoodNews vision is simple, we are committed to Exalting Christ and Sharing Hope. This vision allows us to focus on what it is like to love, honor, and above all else serve Jesus.

    As a community of West Valley families, we believe that the God of the Bible is saving us through his son Jesus Christ. Celebrating Jesus, engaging in conversations aligned with his teachings, and discovering how to follow him allows us to share the good news of Jesus with others in our community and around the world.

  • GoodNews is family friendly and encourages kids to participate during each gathering opportunity. All of our gatherings can be described as casual and highly participatory.

    GoodNews meets each Sunday, at 10a.m. for a worship service at Littleton Elementary School. During the service we sing, take communion, and pray together.

    The second way to participate occurs during one of our many weekly Connect Groups. In Connect Groups we snack, laugh, share stories, ask questions, pray together.

    We can’t wait to see you at any and all of these gatherings as we enjoy doing life together in Jesus.

  • GoodNews is a part of the Assemblies of God network of churches.

About GoodNews Church

Church Leadership

The Simpsons began their journey in ministry together in 2001 when they married and became Youth/Children’s Pastors in Jackson, TN. For 10 yrs, they enjoyed a sweet season serving there and growing their family. In 2011, God allowed them to move to Uganda, Africa, where they spent the next four years partnering with Watoto Childcare Ministries, seeing orphan children rescued and raised up as leaders. While there, God gave them a vision of planting a church in the west valley of Phoenix. After moving back to the States, GoodNews Church became a reality when it launched in Oct. 2017.
