We are passionate about helping children come to know and follow Jesus! We view our role as twofold:
Our Kids ministry has welcoming and fun environments for all ages from Infants through Grade 5. At a weekend class, a weekday kids' clubs, or a special kids event — come and see what we're all about!
We're excited to be returning to limited in-person Valley Kids Church this fall! But we will continue to offer plenty of resources to assist you in discipling your kids at home, too. Here's the rundown.
During the 9 a.m. Sunday outdoor service, Valley Kids Church for infants-Grade 5 will take place in the building. The classes will run the entirety of the service.
Make sure you sign up for Outdoor Worship at 9 a.m.; then sign up your children at the link below.
Check-in will take place inside the building. Masks are required for kids ages 6 and up; optional for 5 and under. Children 5 and under not wearing masks will have their temperature checked prior to entering the building. We have all the proper COVID-19 precautions in place to ensure the experience is safe as possible for children, teachers, and helpers. We hope to see you!

We'll continue to post great curriculum and resources for kids of all ages on our Worship page. All material -- including video lessons, activity sheet downloads, and more -- will be available on Saturdays. Utilize whatever resources you'd like, whenever you'd like!
Our Tuesday night clubs are for kids in Grades 1-5. GEMS (for girls) and BLAST! (for boys) are held in the building, following our indoor gathering requirements, from 6:30-7:45 p.m.
Clubs include fun activities and songs, crafts, and workshop projects, as well as special speakers and events. Your kids will love our great videos and interactive Bible lessons.
The cost remains the same: $35 per child for the entire year. Register your child below!
This Christmas celebration will be filled with caroling, a tree lighting, a craft, a candy walk, fire pit stories, a puppet nativity, hot chocolate and more. Invite a neighbor or another family and join us for a special Outdoor Christmas Event!
Everyone will be required to wear a mask at this event. It would also be a great idea to dress warmly.
Registration is required!
The resources on this page are here for you to use to encourage your kids’ spiritual growth through Bible apps, devotionals, games, songs, videos, etc. RightNow Media and Life Church have many series you can use for special screen time. The Konnect HQ videos, found on the Life Church site, are almost like a kid’s TV show but teach great spiritual truth. If you have a question or suggestion, call the Valley Kids office at 860.673.6826 or email Lois Hales at
