As a church, we believe in children! We believe that they can influence their worlds for Jesus by finding faith at an early age.
Our team is ready to welcome your child to our Valley Kids programmes. Each session provides an opportunity for lively worship, Biblical truth, opportunities to respond, active games, and creativity.
At Valley, we have two programmes: Inspire (for children 1 and walking through to reception) and Influence (for children in Years 1 - 6).
In Inspire, we want our children to be inspired to live a life of faith from an early age. We do this by sharing Biblical truths and seeing how they can be applied to our lives through play and activities.
Our Inspire programme focuses on a key idea that we explore through age-specific teaching, crafts, worship, and other activities. We have a snack time where the children are encouraged to share about their weeks and build relationships with their peers.
In March, we are going to be studying the Holy Spirit. We want to introduce the children to the Holy Spirit; helping them to know who He is and experience Him for themselves.
Our key ideas for March are:
5th March
AM: The Bible tells me about God
PM: The Holy Spirit is God
12th March
AM: The Holy Spirit helps me
PM: The Holy Spirit fills me
19th March
AM: I am gifted
PM: God talks to me
26th March
AM: The Holy Spirit tells me about Jesus
PM: The Holy Spirit is for everyone
For more information, please see the monthly newsletter.
In Influence, we want the children to become influencers in their generations to make the Name of Jesus famous by living an active life of faith.
Each session we explore a Big Question and find our answer through our various activities. Our teaching pulls together ideas from throughout the Bible and is followed by an opportunity to respond and apply our learning to our lives through our Encounter Moment. And of course, we make sure there is plenty of active games, lively worship, and time to develop friendships through our snack time.
In March we are studying 'The Holy Spirit in the Old Testament'. We are believing that it will help children get to know the Holy Spirit better through both scripture and personal experience. We will see that The Holy Spirit was active throughout the Old Testament.
The Spirit of God has made me: the breath of the Almighty gives me life.
- Job 33:4
The Big Questions for March are as follows:
5th March
AM: Is the Holy Spirit in the Old Testament?
PM: Who is the Holy Spirit?
12th March
AM: How does the Spirit help us?
PM: What is anointing?
19th March
AM: What are spiritual gifts?
PM: How does the Spirit speak?
26th March
AM: How does the Spirit point to Jesus?
PM: Is the Spirit only for...?

Our programmes run at all our weekend services. When you arrive at one of our locations, head to the kids registration desk (which opens 30 minutes before the start of the service). One of our team will be there to greet you and register your child. Once your child is registered, the team will let you know when the programme starts.
Each session does include a snack time so we would encourage you to send your child with a drink. And of course, let our team know of any allergies or other information you would like us to know.
