A loving, welcoming body of believers
Hear kids laughing. Listen to teens visiting. See the smiles of senior adults. Feel the warmth of a friendly group as you walk into our weekly gathering. We have a seat for you and a smile to go with it.
At Valley Baptist Church, you will encounter babies, senior citizens, youth, children, and adults all singing praises to God, listening to a Biblical, practical message, and enjoying each other’s company. The service typically runs between an hour and an hour and a half.
If you’re visiting for the first time, you won’t be asked to stand up, introduce yourself publicly, or do anything that might feel uncomfortable. Just come and enjoy the service.
Kids
We love kids. You can worship with your children sitting right with you, or you can ask an usher about nursery volunteers who will care for your child while you worship. You can also watch by video in a family room with other parents and children. Nursing moms might want the quiet of our nursing mothers’ room with a viewing window and audio to the sanctuary. We believe you know best where your kids should worship.
Beliefs
We’re a traditional baptist church, which means we believe the plain teaching of the Bible. It’s our conviction that biblical truth should dictate what we believe about the culture, not vice-versa. Read more about what we believe on our beliefs page.
Music
Our singing is rich and full, usually accompanied by two pianos, a couple of instruments, and sometimes even an organ. We want you to be able to sing along — not just watch a performance.
What to Wear
That’s up to you. You will see a few jeans and shorts, a few suits and dresses, and everything in between.
Fellowship Meal
When the service ends, people usually stay and visit for a while rather than leaving immediately — it’s often the easiest time to meet someone, ask a question, or introduce yourself to the pastor.
After the service on the 2nd and 4th Sundays of each month, we share a Fellowship Meal (potluck). If it’s your first time, you don’t need to worry about bringing anything — be our guest. We sit and talk, and the young people play basketball, volleyball, ping pong, four square, and much more. The meal is a totally optional way to spend more time with other believers.
