big faith. big fun. big adventure!
At Pine Valley Methodist Church, we believe kids are never too young to know and experience the love of Jesus! We strive to create a space where every child can belong, believe, and become all that God had created them to be. Our goal is simple: To help kids discover that they are deeply loved by God, grow in their faith, and have a whole lot of fun along the way! Whether it’s their first Sunday or they’ve been part of PVMC Kidz Min for years, there is always a place for them here!
Check-in:
Wilmington & Leland Campus: You and your child will be given matching identification stickers from the kiosks at the designated Kidz Ministry area. Your child will need to wear the nametag provided and you will hang onto the pickup tag. After service, you will report to the designated pick-up area to show your tag to the Kidz Min volunteer for your child to be released back to you.

At Pine Valley Methodist Church, we take our responsibility to care for children, youth, and vulnerable adults very seriously. Grounded in the covenant of baptism, we as members of Christ’s church affirm our commitment to nurture and support one another spiritually, emotionally and physically. Therefore, we as a church adopt the MinistrySafe guidelines for all ministries of Pine Valley Methodist Church. These guidelines are intended to facilitate a safe and nurturing environment in which children and youth can grow in relationship with Jesus.
Pine Valley Methodist Church requires all Staff members and volunteers working with children or youth (and other vulnerable populations) to complete FOUR SAFETY STEPS before ministry work or volunteer placements begin. Please note that a volunteer (adult or student) must attend Pine Valley Methodist Church for six months before being eligible to serve in volunteer positions providing access to children, youth or vulnerable adults. Exceptions may be made by the Pastor of Discipleship or Lead Pastor.
