VBC KIDS covers the ages from infants through fifth graders. Sixth graders are allowed the option to participate in Awana.
The mission for VBC KIDS is to guide kids to KNOW Jesus, GROW in Him, and SHOW His love to their world.
God has great concern for 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.
