Sunday Worship

9AM, SANCTUARY & LIVESTREAM

This service includes music, prayer, space for kids, preaching, scripture, and an emphasis on community. Music is commonly led by VPC’s Chancel Choir and accompanied by our organ.

10:30AM, SANCTUARY & LIVESTREAM

Worship at 10:30AM contains many of the same elements as 9AM. Music is commonly led by VPC’s worship band with drums, guitar, piano, and bass.

Whether you decide to attend a specific service because of the time or musical style, you will find space to hear God’s Spirit and respond through Christ-centered worship to God’s acts of salvation and ongoing transformation in the world.

AWAKEN CAFÉ, OPEN 8AM-3PM

We invite you to connect with the VPC community before or after worship at Awaken! Proceeds from beverage purchases support VPC’s Mission Partners locally and globally. This is a great place to spend time with friends and family; kids can play in the Awaken Plaza and the indoor/outdoor seating provides a comfortable place to relax all year long.

Welcome from Pastor Joynt

Summer! Vacations, exploration, and strategies to beat the heat. But summer is also a great time to connect and grow at VPC. Check out the opportunities in this brochure and see the possibilities and then pass it along to a friend. Blessings for a spiritual summer in 2023!
