Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take.
~Proverbs 3:5-6 2025-2026 Theme: Trust in the Lord
Pledge to the Christian Flag
I pledge allegiance to the Christian flag and to the Savior for whose kingdom it stands. One Savior, crucified, risen, and coming again with life and liberty for all who believe.
Valley Christian Alma Mater
O, Lord our God, to You we lift our voice in grateful praise, Creator, King, we will remember You for all our days. Teach us the wisdom that comes from heav’n above, That we in turn may tell about Your love.
This is our prayer, with each and ev’ry day: to know Your will. This one desire, in all we do and say: Your Word fulfill. For all You’ve done and all that You will do, We thank You, Lord, for Valley Christian School.
