Christian Education for Grade 4 - Grade 5

Zone 45 is the gap between Shepherd’s Kids and Confirmation. It truly is its own zone! Although, this program incorporates familiar styles and activities found in both Shepherd’s Kids and Confirmation, it is tailored specifically for this age group, and is highly adaptable based on student, parent and leader feedback!

In Zone 45, we believe in fostering strong relationships and building community through exciting activities and sincere communication. We operate on a dynamic model that combines both large and small group interactions, allowing children to connect with peers and dedicated volunteers, whom we fondly call ‘Crew Leaders.’

To ensure a vibrant and impactful program, we prioritize several key practices:

  • Open communication: frequent, consistent and clear communication is key in Zone 45. Always feel free to send an email to Christa.Devries@sotv.org.
  • Active Training: 2 – leader training sessions per year with weekly check-ins and review communication between the Leaders and Program Lead.
  • All adult volunteers undergo thorough background checks to ensure the safety and security of our participants.
  • We incorporate a variety of activities, including music, crafts, prayer, games, yoga and meditation, and service projects, to reinforce biblical teachings and make learning enjoyable and relatable.
  • Each child receives an age-appropriate Bible to support their spiritual growth.

We hope you will join us! We charge $60 per student for the school year, but don’t want money to be an obstacle. We provide grants to support your children’s faith formation. Complete the registration form, listing the grant amount needed in the space provided.

Shepherd of the Valley is committed to welcoming people of all abilities and working to understand and meet the needs of our congregation. If your child needs an accommodation, modification, or assistance to fully participate in this event, please indicate this in the “Health Concern Explanation” field of your registration, and your program leader will follow up if there are questions. We may not be able to meet all requests at this time.

We intend to take photos and/or video during Zone 45, which may appear in worship, social media, website, or congregational communication without names listed. If you have a concern about this, please email Kelsey Young.
