Our youth in grades 9-12 meet in our Youth Loft weekly. Their curriculum is Feasting on the Word.  This innovative resource incorporates a commentary style to explore one of the lectionary passages in ways suitable for all participants. This curriculum begins with a solid scriptural and theological base for leaders and invites leaders and learners deeper into the rhythm of the church year. It utilizes a common Bible passage for all learners, making it easy for families to learn and live out their faith together. Location: Youth Loft

For the last 25 years, the Bible Class at SVPC has been dedicated to the study and discussion of the Bible. This class is ideal for people who want to study the Bible in a small class setting. The class is composed of some of Spring Valley’s longest serving members and longest serving Sunday school teachers. Steve Simmons and Steve Bower have been team teaching the class for more than 20 years. The Bible Class curriculum is supported by the Standard Lesson Quarterly Series studied by Sunday school classes of various denominations nationwide for more than 60 years. The annual curriculum is divided into four quarters with each quarter containing a series of 13 lessons covering scripture in either the Old or New Testaments. Beginning in September, the Fall 2018 series begins with a study of Genesis, “God’s World and God’s People,” that recounts the origins of God’s people and His covenant relationship with them. We look forward to you joining us. Location: Room 216 (far end of the preschool hallway, next to the Outreach Room)
