FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Where do I drop my child off (beginning Sunday, April 13)?
Nursery: Use the west entrance to the Lower Level to drop off Infants through 3-year-olds. There are check-in stations at the base of the stairway and the nursery counter where you’ll be able to drop off and pick up your children from our amazing nursery staff and volunteers.
Hand in Hand: Use the main (south) entrance to drop off for Hand in Hand families. Use the stairwell or elevator, which will take you directly to the classroom entrance.
4-Year-Olds through 5th Grade: Use the east entrance to the Lower Level to access the check-in stations for Sunday school. This leads right to the Children’s Ministry Discovery Center which is an awesome location for conversations and fun to take place before or after Sunday school.
Where do I park to drop my child off?
Nursery: Park near and enter through the west entrance of the church, closest to the Valley Stadium parking lot, and go downstairs to the nursery.
Hand in Hand: Park near and enter through the main (south) entrance of the church.
Children, 4-Year-Olds through 5th Grade: Park near and enter through the east entrance of the church, closest to Jordan Creek Elementary, and go downstairs to the Lower Level.
Middle School Ministry: 6th through 8th graders will meet at the Valley Community Center at 9:30 am.
High School Ministry: 9th through 12th graders will meet in room 8 on the Lower Level of the church at 9:30 am.
How do I pick up my child?
Pick-up for all children will be in the same location you dropped them off.
What safety measures are in place for children?
In addition to our current check-in system, which requires adults to show matching parent tags for pick up, we have new secured children’s and nursery corridors.
Nursery drop-off and pick-up will take place at our singular nursery counter on the Lower Level (west entrance, closest to the Valley Stadium parking lot). The hallway from the counter to the nursery rooms, as well as the nursery rooms themselves, will only be accessible to Valley Church staff, nursery volunteers, and the nursery children themselves.
Adults will be able to bring their 4-year-olds through 5th graders to their individual classrooms for drop-off and pick-up during open periods before and after worship services. However, during the majority of a worship service, secure doors just beyond the check-in points will be locked, so only Valley Church staff, children’s ministry, volunteers, and children attending Sunday school will be in those classrooms, hallways, and restrooms. If a parent needs to pick up a child during a time period when the secure doors are closed, they will need to show their matching parent tag to be given access to enter the children’s ministry area.
Open times for parents to come through for drop-off and pick-up:
- 8:00-8:30 am
- 9:15-9:45 am
- 10:45-11:15 am
- 12:15-12:30 pm
Secured times:
- 8:30-9:15 am
- 9:45-10:45 am
- 11:15 am-12:15 pm
