What are Life Groups?

Life Groups are small groups that meet at various times to build friendships, support and encourage one another and challenge each other in their walks with God!  At Valley Mills Christian Church, we offer Groups that are home-based, church-based, Bible study-based, and special interest-based.  Life Groups typically meet in homes, share meals and “do life together”.  Bible Study-based groups typically meet at the church at various times and meet for Bible Study classes.  Special interest groups are like-minded individuals engaging in hobbies or activities offering fellowship to those who attend.

Don’t miss out on this incredible opportunity to grow your relationships with others and Jesus as we do life together!  Contact Life Group Ministry leader Nichole McCollum for more information or questions a 317-727-3500 or at nicholemccollum@valleymillscc.org.

Parents of Valley Kids,

We wanted to update you about a few things that have changed and are now in effect in our Valley Kids ministry area:

1)  We have launched our new church management check-in system, Breeze, via our check-in kiosks in the Kid Zone foyer.  Volunteers will be available to guide you and assist you with the new system.  Your child will continue to receive a printed name badge with a security code that is assigned for parent paging as needed.

2)  Our 10:45amK-1 class will no longer meet as a class.  Rather, our 1st graders will be assigned to our elementary class in Kid Zone, and our kindergartners will be assigned to a new class that will include 4 year olds through kindergartners.  This class is called Ages 4-K.

3)  Our classrooms have been renamed; you will find an easy guide to classroom locations posted at the check-in station.

4)  As a reminder, children under school age promote to age-based classes on their birthdays, while school-aged children promote on promotion Sunday. If you have any questions about your child’s classroom assignment, please ask at the check-in station.

5)  We are still in need of additional volunteers for our Valley Kids ministry; please contact Shanda Borkes (shandaborkes@valleymillscc.org) if you would be interested in being on this team!!
