Fine Arts
Raising up the next generation of Christian Artists
Welcome to the Fine Arts at Valley Christian Schools (VCS)!
We pray you will sense the Holy Spirit even as you read through the information below.
Our Fine Arts program exists for the sole purpose of raising up the next generation of Christian artists. We strive to partner with students to develop the gifts and talents God has given each person to worship Him and to be a joy to our community. We do not strive for perfection; rather, we strive to be a little better each and every day. We encourage students to take calculated risks for the goal of growth. We encourage each student to develop their skills to be on par with their God-given talent. No matter the age or artistic gift of a student, we look forward to coaching, connecting, and equipping each artist for God’s glory in a joyful, safe, and Christ-centered environment.

Impact Fund: Valley Impact Center
For countless years, Valley Christian has been dreaming of a dedicated place to serve as a worship center, assembly area, dedicated chapel space, and a place for K-12 performances, with a special focus on the spiritual development of our students.
We are beyond excited to share the bold new plan that seeks to make this dream a reality. Over the years, we’ve referred to a worship arts center, a performance center, or a “PAC”. Now, to demonstrate how this facility will help us to accomplish our daily mission, we are calling this facility the Valley Impact Center.
The Valley Impact Center (VIC) is a part of Phase II of the Impact Fund as part of our Expansion for The Kingdom priority. For updates and to support please visit our Impact Fund page.
