At Valley Creek, we believe our students are gen hope – a generation defined by the hope of Jesus. We believe students have the ability to influence and lead their generation for Jesus and toward Jesus. We don’t just believe they’ll change the world some day; we know they can change their world today. That’s why we have Student Leadership Experience.
Student Leadership Experience is a nine-month journey where students (6th-12th grade) will grow in becoming a disciple of Jesus and learn to lead themselves and others through weekly and monthly interactive experiences.
Throughout the experience, students will practice their faith by completing a training plan designed to help them grow in character and personhood and form lifelong habits of a leader. Each student will be a part of a team, called a pod, that’s led by two coaches.

In the kingdom of God, faithfulness matters and commitment counts. This experience is highly relational and team-based, which means that consistency and active participation are important and absences are significant. We believe Jesus wants to do so much in and through our students, and we don’t want them to miss out on any of it!
Saying “yes” to this experience is committing to:
If students are unable to consistently meet these expectations and commitments at any point during the year, they are making the choice to remove themselves from Student Leadership Experience.
There’s a one-time, $75 application fee ($150 family maximum) which will cover the cost of the experience, food each week, journal, Bible, backpack and Student Leadership Experience shirt.
Throughout our monthly experiences, we’ll cover foundational topics that will help students build a strong, biblical foundation, learn practical leadership skills for their everyday life, and deepen their relationship with Jesus.
Sundays from September 1-May 4
Wednesdays from September 4-April 30
*The September experience will be on the second Sunday of the month.
