New to Valley Baptist?

What can I expect on my first visit?

You can expect a friendly church environment where everyone is welcome.  One of our hospitality greeters will meet you and direct you to the right classes and services.  They can also answer other questions you may have.

The services at Valley begin with God-honoring congregational music and beautiful special music.  The music is always followed by a clear, helpful, and challenging Bible message from Pastor Smith.

 Where do I take my children?

Starting with excellent nurseries, there is something special for every age child.  There are safe, clean, and well-staffed nurseries for children three years old and under.  For the infants, mothers will receive a pager so that the nursery attendants can easily contact you if there is a need.  For children four years old through sixth grade there are fun, friendly, and Bible-centered classes.  These classes are staffed with teachers and helpers who will make church exciting and memorable for your child.

How should I dress?

There is not a dress code at Valley Baptist Church for members or guests.  Our church family dress in more traditional “Sunday” dress; however, our main goal is that you feel welcome and comfortable, so come as you are.

Who is Pastor Denny Smith?

Pastor Denny Smith has been the pastor of Valley Baptist Church since 2003.  He is a graduate of Tennessee Temple University in Chattanooga, Tennessee.  Before coming to Valley, he served as an associate pastor for twenty-eight years at Lavon Drive Baptist Church in Garland, Texas.  Pastor Smith has a burning desire to reach people with the message of Jesus Christ.

 Am I Expected to Participate in the Offering?

No.  We don’t invite you to Valley Baptist Church for your offering.  We want our service to be a gift to you.  We hope you will find in this place a warm family spirit, truth from God’s Word, and a place where you can grow in God’s grace.  Please don’t feel any obligation to participate in the offering as a guest.
