The mission of the Middle Valley Community Center (MVCC) is to preserve and enhance the Middle Valley Historic District, to provide educational and social activities for the public, and to maintain a gathering place for the community. MVCC owns and maintains the Middle Valley Chapel, which is listed on the NJ Register of Historic Places. The Chapel is a focal point for MVCC activities and events.

The Middle Valley Community Center, Inc. is an all volunteer, 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. The Center is dedicated to the principle and practice of community, neighborliness, mutual respect and maintaining a sense of place. The trustees work actively to maintain the character of our community and to preserve the historic Chapel on West Mill Road in the Middle Valley Historic District. The chapel has been a principal focus for the community, serving as post office and mercantile center. It has been the site of judicial, educational, religious, social and cultural activities spanning four centuries. Today, the Center continues as a cultural, educational and social meeting place for the Middle Valley community and the surrounding area. The Center regularly holds community centric and public programs and is working towards ADA compliance. MVCC hosts educational seminars and encourages utilization of the facility by members and non-profit organizations of western Morris County area.
