The mission for Children's Ministry is to give each child a biblical foundation through the teaching of God's Word so he/she may come to have saving faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.

The vision for Children's Ministry is to make it the best hour of every kid's week.

God has great concern for little children…"He took them up in his arms and blessed them" (Mark 10:16)... and so does Valley Bible Church! Because of our love for children, we are dedicated to providing a ministry of excellence for them. At Valley, we seek to build in our children a strong, biblical foundation in an exciting, relevant way.

About Children's Ministry

The Children's Ministry covers the ages from infants through fifth graders. Sixth graders are allowed the option to sing in the Kids Choir.

We offer the Nursery for infants and toddlers and classes for three year olds through 5th grade for every service on Sunday. We provide child care for special church events. Children's Ministry also provides special events during the year, such as Summer Night Camp and Sports Camp.

Awana is a wonderful Bible-memory program which we offer on Wednesday nights and runs during the school year for children in kindergarten through sixth grade.

Child care for special events is also under the umbrella of Children's Ministry.
