We have loved watching our children be fired up and motivated to serve. Children’s ministry does an amazing job encouraging kids to serve others while continuing to learn about Christ’s love for us.

The Valley Church Children's Ministry has had tremendous impact on our children. Our children want to go to church activities and are disappointed when they aren't able to go. We know this is a huge blessing.

I so appreciate how Valley Church Children's Ministry comes alongside parents with compassionate Christ-centered teaching.

Julia Hunter

We started coming to Valley Church before we had kids. Looking at the children’s ministry wasn’t on our radar yet but little did we know, it would become a huge part of why we loved our church.

Parent FAQs

Who will be leading my children?

There are many volunteers that serve the families that attend our services. Valley Church members and attenders that are passionate about children (and have gone through a background check process) help to lead the children along with staff members that coordinate and oversee our programming.

What safety measures do you have in place?

Your child’s safety matters to us. All our volunteers and staff have gone through background checks, so you can feel confident in who you leave your child with. We also have a secure check in system in place. When you check your child in, you will receive a parent tag that has a matching number that goes with your child’s tag. We match these as children are picked up, so everyone leaves with the person they should.

How can I get involved in volunteering?

We have a variety of volunteer roles available in Children’s Ministry.  From up front teaching, leading music, leading a small group, behind the scenes administrative work, and more, we are confident we can find a position that suits you. E-mail Carter Norine for more information on volunteer opportunities.

What is your process for child dedication?

The child dedication service is a time where you as parents publicly affirm your desire to lead your child toward a relationship with Jesus along with the support of those who attend this service with you. This dedication is a special step in your life as a parent as well as the life of your child.

We ask that parents attend a child dedication class before having their child dedicated at Valley. The class is intended to explain the logistics of dedicating your child at Valley Church as well as laying a scriptural foundation for biblical parenting.

Do you baptize children?

We celebrate Believer’s Baptism at Valley Church and are happy to support children that choose to take that step of faith. We have multiple baptism services throughout the year. E-mail Amy Natzke for more information about our next baptism service and baptism class.

Do I need to register my child to attend your programming?

There is no registration necessary to attend our weekend services. However, there is a registration fee to attend our Wednesday Night programs. This cost is used to cover supplies given to students as well as other program materials. Please see our Wednesday Night Programming section for more details and to register.
