Sundays at Spring Valley

We’d like to extend an invitation for you and your family to to you to come and check us out in person.
We aim to make each person feel welcomed and informed.
Below are some things you might like to know before your visit.

Where are you located?

Spring Valley Baptist Church is located at 91 Polo Road in Northeast Columbia, SC 29223.
(One block from Two Notch Road and the opposite end of Polo Road from the recreation fields and the interstate)

What should I wear?

Our church family varies in how they dress on Sundays. Some wear suits and dresses, and others may wear more casual outfits or even jeans.

Where should I park?

The parking team will direct you to the closest available spot. Just follow the smiling faces wearing the bright yellow vests. We reserve parking spots for first-time guests, so if you’re new to Spring Valley Baptist, be sure to turn on your hazard lights when you enter the parking lot.

Where will I go?

As you walk into the building, our greeters will meet you and show you where to find the Worship Center, restrooms, Children’s Ministry, and Student Ministry. If you need anything during your visit, feel free to stop by the Welcome Center, located right outside of the Worship Center, where someone will be glad to assist you!

Adults During Life Groups (10:45 AM)

Adults meet in Life Groups at 10:45 AM. We have a variety of groups based on age ranges and several based on teaching topics. When you arrive, one of our greeters will help direct you to a group to try. Some people like to try several groups before deciding which one fits the best. Adult Life Groups are located in the hallway under the Worship Center and in the Platt Building.

Worship (9:30 am)

Sunday Morning Worship is at 9:30 AM in our Worship Center. Worship music is driven by the day’s sermon. The music in our worship is led by our Minister of Music and Worship, choir, and praise team. We combine a variety of instruments, from a modern band to piano and organ.  We include soloists and ensembles. The congregation sings hymns as well as modern worship songs.

Where will my children go?

We recommend arriving at least 10-20 minutes before Worship (9:30 AM) or Life Groups (10:45 AM) to allow time to get signed in and get help finding your children's rooms. All Children’s workers have been vetted and background checked, all children will receive tags upon being checked in, and all children's areas are securely locked to ensure the utmost safety of our children.

Worship at 9:45 AM (Infants - Pre-K)
During Worship, we have "extended care" for infants through Kindergarten. Children’s workers will be ready to assist you in checking in your children and direct you to the appropriate room for their age on the first floor of Building B.

Worship at 9:45 AM (Kindergarten - 12th Grade)
We believe in families worshiping together. We encourage children, Kindergarten and older, to attend worship with their families. A “Children’s Bulletin” is available as you enter the Worship Center upon request. Children’s workers will be ready to assist you in checking in your children.

Life Groups at 10:45 am (Infants - 5th Grade)
During Life Groups, infants - PreK children are in an age-appropriate group on the first floor of Building B. 1st- 5th grade children have an exciting time of worship and learning together in our “Rally Room”, and then are released to grade-specific groups on the second floor of Building B. Children’s workers will be ready on both floors to assist you in checking in your children. Learn more about our Children's Ministry. 

Life Groups at 10:45 am (6th - 12th Grade)
Students (6th - 12th Grade) attend their Life Groups in the Student Center, located at the back of our campus. Enter the door on the right side (wheelchair access is available on the left side of the building), and there will be someone from our Student team to greet you and help you find where to go. Learn more about our Student Ministry.

If you have any questions before your visit or a special situation or concerns with your children, please do not hesitate to call the church office to speak with our Children's Ministry Director, Allyson Horton, or with our Minister to Students, Spencer Creech, during the week before attending. We would love to help you prepare to come and worship with us on Sunday!
