What is Streams?
Streams is an intentional community for parents and kids to connect to Jesus and each other during the school year.
Streams is geared towards kids from 0 – 8th grade. Children in pre/kinder (potty trained through kinder) and elementary school (1st through 5th) will begin with a shared dynamic worship time, then split into groups for the remainder of the morning. Middle School will meet in the Youth Building and have their own program there.
Our kids will spend the mornings in a variety of ways including worship, art projects, lesson time, and free time both inside and outside. For the parents, we will have the opportunity to teach and support the kids’ classes while also having segments built into the schedule for prayer, fellowship, and mom time.
This year we will also be offering some electives that may include supplementary learning such as writing and/or science classes and a music lesson class. Stay tuned for more details on these!
Who is Streams for?
Our vision with Streams is to serve our VCC family and friends.
When is Streams?
Streams is held on Wednesday mornings during the school year. We will provide a detailed calendar closer to the fall.
What are the expectations for Streams?
We are an intentional community. If you’d like to be a part of Streams, the expectation is that at least one parent will be on site and participating the entire morning each Wednesday. This could be in a variety of roles that we can discuss in our intake meeting in August. We also all commit to trying to attend regularly, as consistency is important for kids and adults alike. Eating together is another value of Streams, so bringing a lunch for yourself and your kids is suggested for our lunch time at the end of the morning.

We will contact you with more information and invite you to participate in an intake meeting in August.
During this meeting you will be able to tell us about yourselves and your children, ask any questions, and sign up for serving spots for the year. Please also bring your fee for the term at this time, and pay for any additional electives you are choosing to participate in.
Is there a cost?
The cost of Streams is $20 per term per family, which will go towards supplies and snacks. This will be due before the beginning of each term. (VCC also supports and supplements our budget to keep costs down.) Additional fees may apply to electives offered outside of the base Streams program (see above.) Click here to pay fees online.
