Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me..."
Matthew 19:14
At Twin Valley Alliance, the safety and well-being of your children are our highest priorities. All our volunteers are required to undergo comprehensive background checks, including State Police and Childline Child Abuse clearances, in accordance with Pennsylvania childcare regulations. Our policies are meticulously crafted to ensure that your child is safe, well-cared for, and nurtured in a loving and supportive environment.
We are thrilled to announce a special Kids Breakfast held every Sunday morning from 8:00 am to 9:00 am. This is a wonderful opportunity for children to share a meal together before heading to Sunday School.
Our Sunday School classes begin at 9:00 a.m. and are thoughtfully tailored to engage children at their specific age and comprehension levels. For children in Grades 1-4, we provide Children's Church, where they are dismissed during the sermon to enjoy a Bible lesson crafted just for their age group.
We warmly invite you and your family to join us as we strive to create a safe, welcoming, and enriching environment where your children can grow in their faith and build meaningful connections!
We believe that children are the future of our church and our greatest mission is to help them know Jesus and build a lasting relationship with Him. Our focus is on nurturing the next generation in the Gospel of Jesus Christ, equipping them with faith, hope, and love. To support this mission, we offer a variety of engaging programs throughout the year, including:
