This Week's Message

The modern church has become focused on making decisions, but not so worried about making disciples. The issue is that Jesus is the one who called us to make disciples in the first place. Not only that, but Paul, who authored half of the books of the New Testament, made it his life goal to see Christ formed in the lives of the people he reached. How can we live in obedience to the call of Jesus in our own lives? Let's discover together!

Village Groups
Finding Community in Village Groups We encourage everyone who calls Village Church home to be part of a group, because life with Jesus was never meant to be lived alone. Village Groups are where friendships form, God’s Word takes root in us, and we learn what it means to walk with Christ together. In community, we experience the joy of being known and loved, cared for and encouraged—and we’re also challenged to grow as wholehearted followers of Jesus. At Village Church, we have several groups, that meet regularly to share life, study Scripture, and support one another. Our desire is to live out the instructions of Scripture to encourage, support, and exhort one another, building a church family that reflects the heart of Christ.Join a Group
