Welcome
Valley Chapel is a place where you can see God at work in and through the community. We love to serve the people around us, grow in maturity as believers, and share the hope we have been given with others. Visiting a new group like this can feel intimidating though, so this page is here to help you "sort-of visit" before you visit.
SUNDAY MORNING
What To Expect
Coming In
The Service
CONNECTING
We have a nice big parking lot, you you should have no problem finding a spot. Due to COVID-19 you will see signs asking you to put on your mask as you enter the building. We ask that you keep the mask on your nose and mouth the whole time you are in the building. This is all because we love you and we want to keep everyone safe.
Our friendly greeters will meet you at the door and hold it open for you. Once you come in, if you have any questions then feel free to find an usher (they will have nametags) and they will be happy to help you out.

Every week starts with a few brief announcements before the service really gets going. A typical service will last about 60 minutes. There will be intentionally chosen songs, scripture readings, prayers, media, and a sermon that all help us enter into a great conversation with God.
The worship service isn't something we just sit back and watch, it's something we all have a role to play in. Don't worry thought, you won't need to know any secret moves. When we all do something at the same time the folks up front will give clear instructions or there will be instructions projected on the screen.

If you are a guest with us, we would love for you to stop by our connect center in the foyer. We have free gifts that you can simply pick up. It's our way of thanking you for your visit.
Giving
Also, if you are a guest then we encourage you not to give right away. Please simply enjoy participating in worship with us. But, if you would like to give something, we would love for you to fill out the connect card in your pew. Let us know you were visiting. We promise not to spam you or add you to any mailing lists without your permission.
Special Sundays
On the 1st and 5th Sunday of the month our Children join us for the main worship service instead of going to the "Valley Chapel Kidz" program. On the 1st Sunday, they join so they can participate in communion with the whole church and on 5th Sunday they help to lead the service. These Sundays will often also include a special sermon just for the children.
Children
On the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Sundays of the month, Kids ages 2-5th grade are invited to join the rest of our children in the toddler nursery (2-4yo) or the Valley Chapel Kidz program (5yo-5th grade). Both provide meaningful ways for Children to experience the Love of Jesus in their own age-appropriate way. The Children's wing is a secured zone of the church and all of our volunteers receive background checks and thorough training. You will be asked to register your kiddos and check them in. They will not be released to anyone but the adult who checked them in.
If you have a baby, our infant nursery is available with a changing table, rocking chair, fully stocked with diapers and wipes and a live video feed of the service will be playing. We love the life-giving sound of babies in the sanctuary, but we also know how stressful it can be for parents. Simply head toward the children's wing and an usher will help you find the nursery.
