Women of Valley, continue your journey of getting to know our great God by digging into His Word. Starting January 7, we are offering both Zoom and in-person meeting options as we study Genesis 1-11. These first chapters of the whole Bible are so critical in laying a foundation for the entire Story of God, and Jen Wilkin is a most excellent guide. Check out her description of the study.

Format: Homework, Video Teaching, and Group Discussion
Cost: $16
Our on-site Bible study is limited in the numbers of attenders. This helps to maintain safe social distancing standards. In-person Bible study does require registering in advance.

Anytime is a great time to host your own home/neighborhood Bible Study and Women’s Ministry can help you do that. We have a variety of fantastic Bible Study and Book Study options for you to check out (for a slight fee) through our Bible Study Library.
Our 30+ moms desire to build friendships, to learn valuable parenting information, and to realize their potential as women, mothers, and leaders in the name of Jesus.
Generous support from people like YOU allows us to minimize the out of pocket costs for our members.
We believe that it’s just as important for moms to grow as it is to take care of our little ones. Therefore, MOPS exists to serve you and your kids. While your children play and learn in the care and safety of our on-site MOPS KIDS program, MOPS moms meet to socialize, hear from speakers, engage in creative activities and small group discussion, and share in a kid-uninterrupted breakfast and coffee break. Our hope is that you walk away refreshed, inspired, connected, and ready to brave the day.
You can expect a fun variety of snacks, curriculum, fellowship, prayer and devotions, crafts, playdates, and outside events.
*Please note, due to Covid-19, there is currently no childcare. We plan to reevaluate next summer and hope to offer childcare again for Fall 2021!*
While we do have room for more moms, we still are limiting the number to accommodate social distanced, in-person meetings. For more information, email MOPS or call Lauren at 480-298-9973.
Need some encouragement in your life from a woman who has “been there, done that”? Someone who can bring some hope, humor and Biblical wisdom to your current season? Could you use a listening ear and someone to share friendship with and pray with you? We’re happy to match you with a mentor!
We currently have about 30 pairs of women meeting on a regular basis. Some pairs are just beginning, while others have been together for three years. All were mutually encouraged and blessed through these multi-generational friendships.
Here is what one of the mentees shared about her experience.
“I feel I have a new friend in my mentor. I know I could come to her with any question, concern or prayer request, and she would be there for me. She has also been very open as she has walked through preparing to send a son to college this fall, and transitioning family members from living at home to assisted living. It has been beneficial to watch her navigate the processes as I believe both will be in my future.”
If you have any questions, email Amy Natzke or call Valley Church at 226-9973.
