Children's Education

“Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for
the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith and in purity.”
I Timothy 4:12

Sunday School – This is our Sunday morning Bible study for the children age three through 8th grade at Shepherd of the Valley. From 9:15 to 10:15, lay teachers in the congregation lead our children and youth in discovering God’s truth as He has shown us in the Bible. Through story, study, song and activity, the Bible is conveyed to our children in new, exciting, and innovative ways! We also offer a “Parent and Me” class for all two year olds that focuses on enhancing what parents are already doing at home to teach their young ones about God’s love. Visitors are always welcomed!
