SOTV MINISTRY ACROSS AGES

Growing faith at every age and every stage.
At Shepherd of the Valley (SOTV), faith isn’t something reserved for a single moment or a single stage of life. It’s a journey. Every age brings its own questions, its own joys, its own needs. We join SOTV to grow, belong, and discover who God is calling us to be across every age and at every stage.
BIRTH — GRADUATION
Children, Youth and Family (CYF) includes ministries for all ages from birth through graduation. They offer everything from Bible stories and interactive lessons to music, crafts, and meaningful friendships. These programs are designed to help children grow in their relationship with God in fun, supportive, and age-appropriate ways.
"More than a statement to be memorized or a lesson to be learned, growing in faith is a lifelong journey....
From the hope-filled dreams of expectant parents and the first steps of baptismal promises to the affirmations and prayers that give strength in twilight years, faith in Christ is nurtured and grows in community and across the ages. – Pastor Peter Harrits
ADULTHOOD
At its heart, Adult Ministries are about building community, friendships, and finding others with shared experiences. To meet that goal, several groups have formed that align for certain age groups.
"Adult Ministries at Shepherd of the Valley are where life happens. These small groups give people a sense of belonging, a way to build relationships and community. It’s how we make a big church feel like home" – Julie Opheim, adult ministries coordinator
This overview of ministries across the ages covers some, but not all of the ministries Shepherd of the Valley has to offer.
