Greenhouse Ministries
Wednesday Night Program
Greenhouse Island is the Wednesday night children's program at Shepherd of the Valley that runs from September through March. Each week we set sail at 6:00 pm and end our adventures at 7:30 pm.
The Island is where children will learn how to navigate the Bible. Helping to demystify this big book for them is one way of making the Bible more easily understood and applicable to their lives.
The curriculum is divided into four age-appropriate levels. Our first group, the Flamingos, are infants through 3 years old. Our second group, the Parrots, are 4 years old through 1st grade. Our third group, the MaCaws, are 2nd & 3rd graders. Our fourth group, the Toucans, are 4th & 5th graders.
This season, 2026/27, all the groups will be digging into the Old Testament books of Genesis through Esther. There is a combination of teaching time, work pages, memorization, games, puzzles, and crafts for the younger ones. Every week they have the opportunity to earn “Island Loot” for all the work they do. The “Coconut Shack Auction” is the place to spend their loot (doubloons) twice during the season.
The Island Pledge below highlights the heart and purpose of Greenhouse Island.
We want all children to have the opportunity to deepen their love and devotion to Jesus and to His Word. Both are a vital part of the daily life of a follower of our Lord.
Invite your friends to join us as we dig for buried treasure on Greenhouse Island!
The Island Pledge
I choose to follow Jesus every day;
Making Him my Lord this way!
He has saved me from my sin;
