Our Ministries
“Praise the LORD. Sing to the LORD a new song, his praise in the assembly of his faithful people.”
PSALM 149:1
Beginning 9:30 am
Adult Sunday School
Sunday School is for all adults! Our Sunday School time is an opportunity for us to grow in our knowledge of the Scriptures and our walk with God. We might be studying a book of the Bible or going through a biblically-based resource that helps us to understand and apply God's truths to our lives.
Beginning 10:30 am
Worship Service
Our emphasis is on congregational singing, and our focus is on the words of what we sing. We want what we sing to be Biblical, and most of our singing is in the form of praises or prayers to our God and Savior. We sing a variety of hymns, Gospel songs, and contemporary choruses.
Pastor Evan usually preaches expositional messages. Expositional preaching means that we preach through books of the Bible and that the main point of the sermon is the point of the Bible passage we are studying. Currently he is preaching through 1 Peter. He strives to make the text of God's Word clear, and to make it come alive in the minds and hearts of the hearers, and to show the beauty of God's grace in the Gospel of Christ.
We believe that God looks at the heart, not what we wear. Dress in whatever makes you comfortable. You'll find our members wear anything from shorts to a suit and tie!
We are offering American Sign Language Interpreters for those who are hearing disabled.
We offer ASL Interpretation every week at our 10:30 AM Worship Service. If you are interested in learning more, contact Pastor Evan Climpson at 845-724-3984.
Age 2-3rd Grade Kids
Children’s Sunday School
9:30 AM - During Sunday School
At Valley BFC, we want our kids to hear and believe the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Our Children's Sunday School ministry is a major part of how we hope to accomplish that.
During our Sunday School hour, kids head upstairs for a lesson geared toward them. Once upstairs, your kids will receive an age-appropriate, biblically-based lesson that centers on the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We use The Gospel Project (https://gospelproject.lifeway.com/) as our curriculum, which always draws the kids attention to both a Big Question and a Christ Connection.
Your kids will be led by trained volunteers who aim to show the love of God to the children as they teach them through and about the Bible.
While we believe that it is important that we disciple the children within our church, we ultimately believe that parents are the most important disciplers in a kid's life. Therefore, we always give the kids a worksheet to bring home so that parents can be engaged with what their kids are learning on Sunday mornings.
Our hope is to see kids' lives transformed by the Gospel of Jesus Christ!

Wednesday Prayer Meeting
We gather each week to pray with and for one another, our community, and the world. We believe that prayer is the means God gives us to communicate with him. We seek to follow the apostle Paul's instruction when he said, "Pray without ceasing!"
