      <image:title>Kingdom Movers - Worship and Tech</image:title>
      <image:caption>We want to get serious and passionate about our Worship of our Creator. Currently our team is our Worship Leader and a few vocalists, but we have the space and equipment for drums, bass, electric, and other types of instruments. We seek creative and cooperative people who want to use their gifts and talents ‘putting our best foot forward’ for our gathering and our online content.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Kingdom Movers - Children</image:title>
      <image:caption>We have a great space for Children’s Ministry. Our challenge here is this. With our church being the size that it is, it is hard to maintain families because the default goal is to ‘go where they have kids who are my children’s age.’ We so understand this and hold no grudges against families who have left to try elsewhere, but we all have to grow from somewhere. If you have a family, and you are willing to be mission minded, then simply making Valley your home can make a huge difference. But serving certainly doesn’t hurt either.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Kingdom Movers - Youth</image:title>
      <image:caption>Kids grow up. The never ending battle with Father Time that we will never win. As some of our kids who have been with us for years are getting older, we find ourselves in need of a real and dedicated Youth Ministry. As of now, they attend FaithE’s youth ministry on Wednesday evenings and we are so thankful for their partnership with us. Currently, our teens help us out by serving in the Children’s Ministry or the Tech Booth on Sundays. While this is great, we really want to have somebody here who is passionate about them and understanding about the unique stage of life they are in. We need someone to ‘Start and Own’ and Youth Ministry. This ministry is HARD, but we want to help the right person in whatever way possible.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Kingdom Movers - Giving</image:title>
      <image:caption>Valley needs more faithful people to lead the way in giving. Most people don’t see this as a ministry, which is a real shame because Jesus talks about giving and money more than any other topic in the Gospels. Will giving make God see you and bless you with a new Corvette? Probably not. But giving has a unique way of inspiring others to step out of their comfort zones and expand their faith. Remember when you stepped out of your comfort zone? Giving transforms us over time to be more like our Father, who was first and foremost a giver (see John 3:16). It allows us to release our value on the physical world and place our trust in Jesus. And giving allows us to fulfill some of the basic needs for ministry. If your spiritual gift is giving, we could definitely use you here.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Kingdom Movers - Small Groups</image:title>
      <image:caption>We are looking to expand our reach and Gospel presentation primarily through Small Groups. We believe that people are most recipient to the Gospel of Christ when they are in a comfortable setting and are encouraged to interact and ask questions. Sunday Worship is a great and vital part of faith for the believer, but hardly the place just described. It can feel out of place, uncomfortable, and claustrophobic to ask the hard questions on Sunday. In truth, most people would acknowledge they are more willing to go to their friends house for a small group gathering than to join them for service on Sunday Morning. We are looking for willing and capable leaders to train and equip. We will make this a reality.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Kingdom Movers - Billings Community</image:title>
      <image:caption>One of the things we have been passionate about for a long time is how to best interact with our community. We want to love people and support them. We want to visit widows who do not have church homes, and care for orphans whose family has abandoned them. We want to teach about mental health for all ages where it is appropriate, and we want to increase the fun and the quality of life for all of those who live in Billings. And this is probably the single biggest area we need help in. At times, most of our people are a bit introverted. That’s not an excuse but an honest reality. And we are trying to come out of our shell to better reach and serve others. If you are a well connected extrovert, God may be calling you to take us to the next level in serving our community.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Kingdom Movers - I Don’t Know Yet…</image:title>
      <image:caption>‘But I know I want to be a part of this.’ Hey, we are so happy you know yourself well enough to say that. Many of our people don’t know what they want to do yet for the Kingdom, but they know they want to do something. We hope that you might come to Valley to simply be a part of it. Grow, learn, give, see if you believe the same things about Christ that we do, and develop relationships and community. Being a Kingdom Mover can start as simply and humbly as greeting people at the door, setting up coffee on Sunday mornings, and bringing your friend to service. Yes even you too, we want to get to know you.</image:caption>
