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.

Every evening, kids sing songs, play teamwork-building games, enjoy yummy snacks, create Bible crafts, and experience electrifying Bible adventures.
