Vision


In Proverbs 22:6 it says,

“Train up a child in the way they should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.”

 

Imagine parents raising kids who are growing toward full devotion to

Christ, who can meet the challenges their generation faces and be leaders for the Kingdom!
 

Imagine a place where children have so much fun learning about how

awesome God is that they don’t want to miss a single week.


Imagine a place where the music is so contemporary and engaging that children leave humming the tunes and singing the words that help them remember biblical truths all week; where video and drama are effectively used to teach this media-driven generation about how to live the Christian life at home, at school and in their neighborhoods.


Imagine a ministry where children are intentionally shepherded in small groups where they are known and loved; where adult volunteers serve with great joy and passion knowing they are influencing the next generation of Christ’s followers.  

 

There are many things that contribute to a thriving relevant, prevailing children’s ministry like the one described above. A child-targeted environment, solid, Bible-based, relevant teaching, strong leaders, committed volunteers, a clear vision and mission and core values are a few of those things. 

 

That is the kind of place we, at River Valley Church, strive to make our Children’s Ministry become. This is our vision.

WEEKEND STRUCTURE

 

The Children’s Ministries of River Valley Church is set-up as one

department.  We purposed to do this so that we could develop and

maintain a consistent flow of ministry with our church from age

birth – 5th grade.  Each level builds and prepares young people for

the next level.  We have never met an adult who was not a child at

least once in their life.  We want to teach the Word of God to every

age group at their own level, while preparing them for the next class

and a lifetime of service for the Lord.

 

The Children’s Ministries is sub-divided into 6 age appropriate classes which include:

 

Infant Class:  birth – 1 year

 

Toddler Class:  1 year olds

 

Preschool 2 Class:  2 year olds

 

Preschool 3 Class:  3 year olds

 

KidZone Jr. Class:  4 - pre-K

 

KidZone Church:  Kindergarten – 5th grade
