We believe that instilling the love of Christ at an early age is vital in the growth of children.  We provide a loving environment where children can learn about Jesus and His love for us.  Coming alongside parents to share Jesus with the children is our main focus while providing them a safe place for social and spiritual growth.

Here at Valley we have tons of ministries focused on children.  On Sundays and Wednesdays we have age appropriate bible studies, fun games, and engaging worship services.  We also have a full service daycare and a 2 day a week Mother's Day Out program for preschoolers.  We also offer a special needs ministry for all ages.

Our Sunday school  meet on Sunday Morning at 9:30 in the Children's building. We are passionate about introducing kids to a relationship with Jesus and teaching them how to be a disciple for the rest of their lives.

Wednesday evenings are filled with children in our AWANA program for ages 2 through the 6th grade.   This program is focused on Scripture memorization, an age appropriate Counsel time, and games!  Memorizing Bible verses is vital in the lives of our children today and we have great volunteers who love to make the verses come to life!  We also teach team building and sportsmanship during our game time.  

We have a children’s choir for our children in Kindergarten through the 6th grade. We work on drama’s for the spring and Christmas.  This is for any child who loves to sing, act, and  praise the Lord with their talents.  We meet during the 5:00 evening worship service on Sundays.

His Kids Christian Academy is an outreach of Valley Baptist Church. We are a Christian Academy that offers care to children ages 6 weeks to 6th grade.  The Academy is open Monday through Friday from 6:00am to 6:00pm to accommodate working parents.  We provide transportation to and from school for our school-aged children.  We provide a nutritious breakfast, lunch, and two snacks, five days a week.

Mother’s Day Out is a program for babies 6 weeks – 5 years that meets on Tuesdays and Thursdays during the school year.  This is an Enrollment program.  Contact the church for pricing.    The purpose of this program is to provide loving childcare while moms need a day to make appointments or have a lunch date with their spouse or friends!   We are a program that teaches children Bible stories, kindergarten readiness, and helps children to learn that being away from mom is fun!  We have the most wonderful staff that love the babies and loves teaching them about Jesus!  If you are interested in this program, you will need to contact the church for availability.  Registration begins in April for the following September and we accept children on a first come basis.

At Valley, we take our responsibility to care for children very seriously. Our goal is to facilitate a safe and nurturing environment in which children can grow in relationship with Jesus Christ.

Staff members and volunteers are prohibited from using physical discipline in any manner for behavioral management of children. No form of physical discipline is acceptable. When a child is misbehaving, we will follow these steps:

Step 1 Calmly ask him or her to stop the behavior. (Most children respond immediately and correct the behavior.) We will give a warning and remind the child of class expectations, and redirect to a positive behavior.

Step 2 If the child repeats the action, we will guide him or her to a quiet place – separate from the other children – for a short but designated period of time. during this time we will provide the child with a simple, understandable reason for the separation, and a clear explanation of our expectations. This step will be repeated twice before we move to the third step.

Step 3 After continued disruption, a staff member will inform a parent or guardian, who may be asked to become involved in redirecting misbehavior.

Step 4 Uncontrollable behavior creates an unsafe environment for all of the children under our care. If leaders are unable to correct misbehavior after multiple attempts then the child may be asked to return to a parent for the duration of the church session.

Step 5 If uncontrollable behavior continues over the course of multiple weeks then the ministry leader, Senior Pastor, and parents will need to meet to discuss next steps.
