A Valley of Peace Health and Permission form must be completed each school year by a guardian for any student under the age of 18 wishing to participate in activities at Valley of Peace Lutheran Church.

Check out our calendar of activities for the latest youth group opportunities or contact Pastor Ashley Osborn (aosborn@valleyofpeace.org) or CYF Council Member, Dustin Froyum (cyfchair@valleyofpeace.org) for more details.
Adult Faith Formation
The ELCA statement, “Our Calling in Education,” expresses the idea that God calls us to “educate people in the Christian faith for their vocation and to strive with others to ensure that all have access to high-quality education that develops personal gifts and abilities and serves the common good.” This calling is rooted in a Lutheran legacy that values education for all people in both church and society. At Valley of Peace, that means faith formation does not end at 12th grade. We provide an opportunity for adult education and community. Join us Sunday mornings during the school year in the Fireside Room from 9-10 am for Adult education forum. Any questions? Reach out to Faith Formation Council Member, Jon Larson (faithformation@valleyofpeace.org).
