Valley Students
6th-12th Grade Ministry
At Valley Students, we guide students in nurturing a deeper, more personal relationship with Christ and uncovering their divine purpose. Through engaging and age-appropriate experiences, our students grow their faith, build lasting friendships, and learn to live a life centered around God. We invite every student from 6th to 12th grade to explore their faith, experience joy, safety, and grace as they grow into the individuals God created them to be.

Baptism
On November 2, we celebrate Baptism, a heartfelt public expression of faith and commitment surrounded by people who care about you. It’s a meaningful milestone—an invitation to witness, reflect, and participate in something personal and transformative.
Alter Ego Night
On November 3, Alter Ego Night brings a high-energy evening designed to lift spirits and spark joy . Bring your crew, your alter ego, and bring your best energy to celebrate together. Best Alter Ego will win a prize.
Friendsgiving
This November 24, Valley Students invite you to a cozy evening of food, stories, and laughter. It’s a welcoming space to share a dish if you can, but more than anything it’s about feeling at home among friends and newcomers alike. Sign up HERE so we can plan for everyone and make sure there’s plenty to go around.
Sunday Services
Sundays at Valley Church offer a warm worship gathering to get your week started off right. You can join us live at 9:00 AM, 10:30 AM, and 12:00PM (Live Spanish translation available).
Schedule for Student Gatherings:
Our youth events begin with doors opening at 5:45 PM, giving students time to hang out, play small games, and catch up in a relaxed atmosphere.
The evening features fun group games, followed by important announcements. We then come together for a time of worship and an encouraging message, designed to inspire and challenge. The night concludes with small group discussions, providing a space for deeper connection and reflection.
Small groups begin to wind down so that parents can pick up students at 8:00 PM after a fun and meaningful evening of community, faith, and fellowship.
Real Talk
Real Talk is all about living real in a loud world. Each week blends straight-up faith with relatable, Gen Z/Gen Alpha energy, tackling everyday vibes—from joy and stress to money moves and big questions about truth and faith. You’ll hear fresh conversations, bite-sized truths from the Bible, and practical ideas you can actually try this week. It’s fast, fun, and inclusive, with hands-on activities, real talk in small groups, and clear takeaways you can carry into your week. If you’ve ever wondered how to stay grounded when everything’s buzzing, this is where you’ll find honest answers, practical steps, and a crew who’s got your back. Join us and see how faith, friendship, and living with purpose can change the way you approach life, today and tomorrow.
