The Instrumental Music Ministry of Valley Baptist Church exists to train and utilize both current and prospective instrumentalists in using their God given abilities for His glory. Each instrumentalist is at a different level in their spiritual and musical development, and our goal is to assist each one in developing their gifts to their fullest potential. These gifts may then be used in leading worship, enhancing the overall music ministry program, evangelistic efforts, encouraging the body, participating in special events and personal enjoyment.

The current orchestra members handbook is now available for download as well as the Academy brochure
