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. Click here to view some pictures from our interactive map.

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.
