Kids & Youth

Easter fun for kids!

We strive to provide safe, high-quality programs for kids. While you relax in the worship service, your child will be supervised by our trained volunteers and enjoy engaging biblical content, games, and Easter activities alongside their peers. We encourage middle school and high school students to attend the main service on Sunday mornings.

Common Questions

We encourage everyone to come as you are. Whether you’re comfortable in jeans and a t-shirt, shorts, skirt, dress, slacks, etc., we are happy to welcome you to Church in the Valley. 

Services start on time at 9:00 and 11:00am and last 75 minutes.  Before or after service, you may enjoy taking some additional time to meet friendly people or learn about opportunities at our resource table.

We mainly sing contemporary worship songs but also include hymns and choruses composed throughout the Church’s history. Based on the principles in Colossians 3:16, we select songs that center our hearts on scriptural truths.  

We invite you to join us in worship however you feel comfortable. Whether you would like to remain silent or clap and lift your hands up in praise, we welcome every expression of worship. We only ask that expressions of worship be done in wisdom, as not to distract others.

Our musicians are members of the church, so you’ll see them both on and off the stage! They’d love to meet you after service.

For middle school and high school students on Sunday, we encourage them to attend service with the adults. They are welcome to sit in front with the other teens and youth group leaders or with their parents and guardians. Please see the youth ministry page for details on when the youth group meets during the week. 

Check out our kids and youth ministry pages for more details.

You are free to participate in whatever aspects of the service you feel comfortable with. You are welcome to listen to the worship music or sing along if you so choose. We strive to make guests feel comfortable – we do not put them on the spot. 

When you arrive at Church in the Valley, you will see a place to create a name tag. Everyone wears one, so you will not stand out if you decide to make one. During the service, you’ll be invited to fill out a Connection Card just like our members do each week. You respond only with information you are comfortable sharing.  After service, you will also have the opportunity to pick up a free gift from us at the guest information table in the plaza. It’s our way of saying, “Thanks for coming.”

Yes, after the 11:00am service we will have free refreshments and drinks.
