Leadership Team
Welcome to the Port
A port is an
invigorating place filled with the scent of adventure and promise of
wonderous dicovery! Kid Ports at Valley View is just such a place. Here,
kids will embark on the greatest journey of all eternity, traveling by fun
and exciting routes toward the home Christ has prepared for us in
Heaven.
At Kid Ports we believe nothing is more important than ministry
to your children. Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me, and do
not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these." Mark
10:14 NIV
One survey indicates that 56% of all Christains come to faith
in Jesus before the 6th grade. To us, that means the very foundation of
Christ's church is built upon this ministry. All our programs are designed
to keep your child's attention and make the lessons cool, awesome, rad,
tight, sic (or whatever they say for great fun!) We do not believe we are
simply watching your kids while you worship--we are building young
Christians who will grow into powerful and authentic disciples of Jesus
Christ.
When you first visit you will discover that all our childrens'
spaces are decorated along a port theme. The 1st floor halls all have the
look and feel of a pier, and each classroom has its own related theme,
from the underwater grotto to the seaside treehouse. The 2nd floor
elementary spaces get much more high tech, with the aura of a space port.

We are also a Purpose Driven ministry and the acrostic P-O-R-T-S spells out the purposes for our church in a kid-friendly way.
