Thank you for checking out Valley Baptist Church!

We want to make your online visit as simple as possible.  So here are some things we think you might be wondering about – 

What time is church?

• We have two (similar) services every Sunday at 8:00 am and 10:45 am. 
• Attendance between the two fluctuates week to week on things like the weather and the Packers schedule.

Where are you located?

• We are on the SE corner of Hwy 41 and Richmond (WI-47). 
  From Richmond, turn east on Seneca for half a block and then north on Chippewa.  You will immediately see the church.
• Our address is 3600 N. Chippewa St, Appleton 54911. 

Where do I start?

• We have some Limited Mobility parking spaces immediately to your left in our upper parking lot. 
• Our main parking lot is to the right and behind the building.

• Once you enter from either parking lot you will immediately be in our Welcome Center. 
  From here you will immediately see our Worship Center. 
  We will also have greeters nearby to help you if you have any questions and can help you find our nursery for your little ones.  

Will I be welcome?

• If you aren't, we have failed (and I want to hear about it!)

• We have prayed over our church that from the moment someone walks through our doors, they will feel drawn to God and welcomed by us.

• Not everyone at Valley is from here or grew in a Baptist church (or any church for that matter).  There is a good chance that there is someone in our church with a story similar to yours.

What can I expect on a Sunday?

We want to highlight the following things each Sunday...

• Authentic worship -- the music includes a little bit of everything, but mostly it has been chosen because it connects to this week's message from our pastor.

• Clear and practical teaching -- Most often, Pastor Tim will take a single passage of Scripture and seek to help us hear the voice of God through His Word and then apply it to our lives.  The goal is for the text of Scripture to set the agenda and for the message to be as simple to understand and apply as possible.

• Prayer Ministry -- At the end of every service, a couple of people are available to pray with you about anything that is on your heart.

• Services last just a little over an hour.  Folks dress pretty comfortably.  We don't see very many neckties.  (But if you have a favorite...feel free to wear it!)

What about my kids?

• We have nursery (birth through 3) in both services.
• We have Children's Church (age 4 through Kindergarten) in the 10:45 service.
• We have Preschool, Children, Youth (and adult) groups that meet between services at 9:30 am.
• We also have Children and Youth ministry events on Wednesdays at 6:15 pm.

Is there any way to get a sneak peek at worship at Valley before I visit?

• Of course.  Usually you can find our services livestreamed at Facebook.
• They are also posted on Youtube by the end of the day.
• Youtube also has several playlists from previous services that you might find useful.
