The Young Married Adult Ministry is for couples between the ages of 20-39 who are either Newlyweds, Married without children or in the season of life of raising children. The young couple’s ministry endeavors to connect couples with other young couples who are in the same season of life to build lasting friendships and be challenged in their walk with God through practical and devotional type Bible study. We are currently offering nine young couple Bible study classes on Sunday morning at 8:00 & 9:15!

Ask yourself these questions: Do I want to get connected? Do I want to build some great relationships? Do I desire to know God in a much deeper way? If your answer is yes, then come check out one of our young couple classes here at Valley! You will love it and will come back wanting more…I promise! If you need some help finding a perfect fit for you as a couple, then just pick up the phone and call me at 393-5683! See you soon!

For the LORD gives wisdom, and from his mouth come knowledge and understanding.”
