Get Connected With BVBC
Soon after your first visit to Bow Valley Baptist, you will hear about our Small Groups. These are smaller communities of people who gather to connect with God and with each other. All of our groups are different. Most meet during the week, however, there are some that meet Sunday mornings. We also have Small Groups for youth and children.
As soon as you hang out with us for a short time, you will find that most weeks are full of other opportunities for our people to serve, grow, and connect.
God intends for us to have an abundant and joyful life so we value being together and have a great time while we gather. Throughout the year, we plan a variety of events intended to help us all on our journey with Christ and each other.
… Igniting Vibrant Faith
The Children’s Ministry at Bow Valley exists to support parents and to provide environments where children can encounter God and learn His Word. We believe that every child is made in God’s image and that God has a special place in His Big Story just for them. Our prayer is that God will develop in them a heart that longs to know Christ, to follow Him, and to make Him known.
During our weekly worship service we offer age appropriate opportunities for our children and preschoolers to learn, worship, and play.
Kids Church
K – Grade 5
Kids Church is offered during each worship service. While the Bible Story will be the same across ages and for both services, the format and activities between the services will be different.
At 9am – Parents will check their children in, and the kids will immediately go to their classes. Kids should be picked up from their classes by 10:20.
At 10:45am- Parents will check their children in, and the kids will be dismissed to their classes from the worship service.
On fifth Sundays throughout the school year, the kids (K-Gr 5) will remain in the worship service during both services.
Preschool Bible Time
Preschool Bible Time is offered during both worship services. While the Bible Story will be the same across ages and for both services, the format and activities between the services will be different.
At 9 am – Parents will check their children (birth – 4/5) in upstairs, and the kids will immediately go to their classes. Parents who are not staying for the 10:45 service should pick up their preschool kids by 10:30.
At 10:45 am – Nursery/Preschool children will immediately go to their classes.
