These ministries engage children in the message of faith, hope, and love through age-appropriate teaching, praise music, and games. All of our volunteers, who volunteer with children 18 and younger, have been background checked and our Watchmen Ministry provides monitored hallways at all times.
A typical weekend service lasts for about 60 minutes (which includes a live band, an offering time, and a hope-filled message from the Pastor that relates to your everyday life). Our mission on the weekend is to allow every attendee to grow in faith, hope, and love and to point people to the Hope of the world, Jesus Christ!
The attire is typically casual, and many of our attendees wear what they're comfortable in like jeans and a T-shirt. Please wear whatever you prefer. We want you to feel comfortable and free to connect with God.

Each child is given a tag with a unique code that corresponds to their parent's pick-up tag. Parents must present their matching receipt tag to a designated adult leader before the child is allowed to exit their classroom. Once the codes are matched, the child’s tag will be removed and thrown away to signal that the child has been officially picked up. We may also use the tag to "page" you during service if your child needs you. If the parent’s receipt tag is missing, the family will need to go through an ID check with a Park Valley Church staff member.

The code will be shown on the side screens in the Main Auditorium and all of the TVs in the Main Lobby. If the parent’s receipt tag is missing, the family will need to go through an ID check with a Park Valley Church staff member.

What We Believe
God is the Creator and Ruler of the universe. He has eternally existed in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. These three are co-equal and are one God.
Genesis 1:1,26,27; 3:22; Psalm 90:2; Matthew 28:19; I Peter 1:2; 2 Corinthians 13:14
Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He is co-equal with the Father. Jesus lived a sinless human life and offered Himself as the perfect sacrifice for the sins of all by dying on the cross. He arose from the dead, after three days, to demonstrate His power over sin and death. He ascended to Heaven's glory and will return again to earth to reign as King of Kings, and Lord of Lords.
Matthew 1:22,23; Isaiah 9:6; John 1:1-5; John 14:10-30; Hebrews 4:14,15; I Corinthians 15:3,4; Romans 1:3,4; Acts 1:9-11; I Timothy 6:14-15; Titus 2:13
The Holy Spirit is co-equal with the Father and the Son as God. He is present in the world to make mankind aware of our need for Jesus Christ. He also lives in every Christian from the moment of salvation. He provides the Christian with power for living, understanding of Spiritual truth, and guidance in doing what is right. The Christian seeks to live under His control daily.
2 Corinthians 3:17; John 16:7-13; John 14:16,17; Acts 1:8; I Corinthians 2:12; Ephesians 1:13
We are all made in the spiritual image of God, to be like Him in character. We are the supreme object of God's creation. Although mankind has tremendous potential for good, we are separated from God by our sinful condition.
Genesis 1:27; Psalm 8:3-6; Isaiah 53:6a; Romans 3:23; Romans 5:12; Isaiah 59:1,2
We all were created to exist forever. We will either be eternally separated from God by sin or in union with God through forgiveness and salvation. The place of eternal separation from God is called Hell. Heaven is the place of eternal union and eternal life with God.
Luke 16:22-24; John 3:16; Romans 6:23; Revelation 20:15; (Hell); Matthew 25:41; Revelation 21:27 (Heaven)
Salvation is a gift from God to mankind. We can never make up for our sin by self-improvement or by good works. Only by trusting in Jesus Christ as God's offer of forgiveness can we be saved from sin's penalty. Eternal life begins the moment we receive Jesus Christ into our life by faith.
Acts 16:30,31; Romans 6:23; Ephesians 2:8,9; John 14:6; John 1:12; Titus 3:5; Galatians 3:26
Because God gives us eternal life through Jesus Christ, the believer is secure in the salvation for eternity. Salvation is maintained by the grace and power of God, not by the self-effort of the Christian. It is the grace and keeping power of God that gives this security.
John 10:29; 2 Timothy 1:12; Hebrews 7:25; Hebrews 10:10,14; I Peter 1:3-5
The Bible is God's word to all mankind. It was written by human authors, under the supernatural guidance of the Holy Spirit. It is the supreme source of truth for Christian beliefs and living. Because it is inspired by God, it is truth without any mixture of error.
2 Timothy 3:16; 2 Peter 1:20,21; 2 Timothy 1:13; Psalm 119:105,160,12:6; Proverbs 30:5
