SERVING AT V I L L A G E

You make it happen “Village Church has been built on the sacrifice and ownership of all of us together.” We are a mobile church. And we believe that the church is made up of the community of God’s people on mission together to make disciples. The church is not a building, or a program, or a staff. That is why, since the very beginning, Village Church has been built on the sacrifice and ownership of all of us together. We can only live out our mission in this city, nation and world if everyone takes responsibility to do their part in reaching people for Jesus. That is why we rely so heavily on our volunteer teams, from storytellers in Village Kids, to backstage techs in production, to parking attendants who help each guest as they arrive.

It takes all of us to be the church we are called by God to be. It also means that we share in the mission together through giving financially. God doesn’t need our time and our money to carry out his will, but he choses to work through his church. It’s a beautiful thing: God doesn’t ask us to sacrifice our time and our money because he needs them, he asks us to sacrifice because we need to develop his sacrificial character in our own lives. If you aren’t currently serving with one of our volunteer teams, or contributing financially to the work God is doing, this is the time to step up and live out the important role God has for you in his church.
