PARENT UPDATES

Our mission as a Youth Ministry is to come alongside parents as we help our students grow into the amazing adults God wants them to be. Supporting relationships between parents and their teens is vital to this mission.

Our goal is that you, as a parent, feel as loved and supported as our students do.

Together, let’s reach this generation for Jesus!

- Pastor J and Erin

Announcements

  • Winter Conference

    Crossroads Winter Conference is a January event in Gatlinburg, TN that we have taken our high school students to for the last few years.

    As many of you know, my wife Erin and I are expecting our first baby, due this Christmas Eve. Considering this, we feel that it is best to have a one-night event locally this year, rather than going to Winter Conference.

    We appreciate your understanding and support in this difficult decision. We know this news is disappointing for a lot of our high schoolers that were looking forward to the trip, but we are doing our absolute best to ensure that they still make some incredible memories this winter!

  • GLOW All-Nighter for 7th - 12th grade

    We have more exciting details to come, but here’s what we can share for now:

    - GLOW will be open to to all students currently in 7th - 12th grade.

    - GLOW will be Friday night, January 10th through Saturday morning, January 11th. 11pm to 7am

    - Part of the night will be spent at Valley and part of the night will be at Up Your Alley in Schererville, IN. We will have a bus ready to take us there after games, worship, and a message at Valley.

    - The whole event will be chaperoned by approved, background checked youth leaders and we will have security on campus all night.

    - We have big plans to make this an unforgettable night for everyone involved!

    Stay tuned for more information as it’s released!
