CHILDREN

Our mission:
With God's help, our mission is to help children know Jesus, grow together in Him, and to show His love to all.
Pine Valley offers many wonderful and exciting ministries for children.
We offer an infant, crawler, and toddler nursery at all worship services and many church functions. See the nursery page for more information.
Sunday School is offered year round for young people 2 years old through Sr. High at 9:45 every week.  Children’s Church is available weekly during the 8:30 and 11:00 worship services. Our midweek classes run Wednesday nights from 6:30 - 7:15, September through April.
Other on-going opportunities that are available are: Children’s Choirs on Sunday nights (4:00 p.m. for 4- year-olds thru 5th grade), the Acolyte Program and Athletic Teams, just to name a few.
We also have many special programs throughout the year, such as Vacation Bible School, Summer Camp, Movie Days, 3rd thru 5th Grade Lock-Ins, Lenten Journey, Easter Egg Hunt, Christmas Pageant, and the list goes on.
We invite children to become involved at Pine Valley, as it is their church, and they are our future. We strive for this to be a place where they want to be and where they know they will find unconditional love and support.
