The leaders of Valley Interfaith change through relationships. They build relationships through individual meetings, in the words of Valley Interfaith "The most radical thing we do."

It is through the development of what the IAF refers to as "public relationships" that individuals engage in a dialogue that agitates, that stimulates, and that challenges people to reflect upon and share their stories. This process takes place through the deliberate building of relationships in two specific forms: individual and house meetings. Through these conversations, people not only build the relationships that are required for organizational power, they become enmeshed in a process of reflection that often forces individuals to grow and learn in ways fundamental to their sense of self. Development and change take place through conversation and discourse with others. Typical questions an organizer or experienced leader might ask include the following: "How are you thinking about your own story? About your own development? In what ways are you developing? What part of your story are you working on?"
