Interested in serving at Inklings Coffee & Tea? Join us at the Community Group Lunch & Learn to hear more about how you can get involved!

Inklings Coffee & Tea is a ministry of Valley Community Church, located in the heart of downtown Pleasanton, and exists to seek the good of our city through coffee, connection, and community. Our mission is to create spaces where real relationships can form and lead towards curiosity about faith. We're excited to launch Inklings Community Groups to help this mission come to life outside the walls of the church.

What are Community Groups?
Community Groups are hobby-based gatherings hosted at Inklings—think book clubs, film discussions, hiking groups, creative workshops, arts and crafts gatherings, and more. Each group is led by a trained volunteer from VCC who is passionate about their hobby and even more passionate about people.

Community Groups will be set up with one (or more) key leaders who are interested in leading a group together in an activity, hobby, or discussion of interest.

Come enjoy a meal and learn more about our vision!

Join us for our first-ever Coffee & Company, a gathering for women of all ages and stages of life. This is a place to connect, grow in your faith, and build meaningful community.

We can't wait to see you there!

Details:

• Breakfast served at 8:30 AM

• Gathering begins at 9 AM

• Cost: $7 (optional)

We’d love to invite you to Connection Point, a casual and welcoming gathering designed to help you feel at home at Valley Community Church. It’s the perfect opportunity to meet some of our pastors and staff, hear more about who we are and what we believe, and ask any questions you might have about our ministries, events, or how to get involved. We’ll also take time to get to know you and hear your story because building meaningful connections is at the heart of what we do.

Whether you’re just checking us out or ready to take the next step in your faith journey, Connection Point is a great way to start. We can’t wait to meet you!

Things are heating up at Light Night! Guys are bringing their favorite chicken wings to share, so come ready to feast, laugh, and connect. We'll have cornhole, ping pong, a Hot Ones-style interview, testimonies, a short teaching, dessert, and time around the fire pits.

Baptism is a public way of showing that we belong to Jesus. It symbolizes being washed clean from sin and stepping into new life with Him. The Bible teaches that when we put our faith in Jesus, we are forgiven and receive the Holy Spirit—baptism is an outward sign of that inward transformation (Acts 2:38).

Baptism doesn't make us right with God; it's a response to the faith we already have. The water represents cleansing, but it's our trust in Jesus that brings forgiveness (1 Peter 3:21). It's also an act of obedience and a declaration that we’re committed to following Him.

Our next baptism service is Sunday, August 16, and to help you prepare, we'll offer a baptism class on Sunday, August 2 from 10-10:45 AM in the VCC Conference Room.

Ready to take this step? Sign up today!

Join us for a Summer BBQ! If you are part of or volunteer with our Disability Ministry, we'd love for you to join us at the church on Saturday, August 15 from 11:30 AM - 1:30 PM.

We are so excited to be back and begin our weekly program at Refuge. We will begin serving an optional free dinner at 6 PM, and will get started around 6:45 PM. We’ll do a game, worship, teaching, small groups, and prayer. The night ends at 8:30 PM—hope to see you there!

Church family, you're invited to gather with us for an evening set apart to seek the Lord and worship Him together. We'll lift our voices, open our hearts, and press into His presence as one body.

There's something powerful that happens when God's people come together in worship and prayer. So come as you are, bring your praises and your burdens, and let's seek Him together.

And don't come alone—invite a friend! This is a wonderful opportunity to share the joy of worship with someone in your life. There's always room for one more.

We can't wait to worship alongside you. See you there!

On July 29, Refuge will be at Amador Valley Community Park for games and a BBQ! We will be doing burgers and hot dogs, and will have every game you can imagine: 9-square, kickball, cornhole, board games, and more. Join us from 6:30-8 PM!

Join us for lunch and a conversation with several of our missionaries serving in North Africa—one of the most challenging regions in the world for the gospel. They'll share an honest, up-close look at what daily ministry looks like in a place where following Jesus comes at great cost, the stories of the people they're walking alongside, and the joys and hardships of laboring where the harvest is hard-won.

Come hungry, leave encouraged, and join us in lifting up the work God is doing in a part of the world that needs Him. RSVP today!

Easter provides us with the opportunity to invite families from all over our community to Valley Community Church, and we want everyone who attends our services to feel welcome and hear of the hope found in Jesus Christ’s Resurrection. There are opportunities to serve in multiple ministries—click the links below to learn more.

Gather with us to remember the suffering and sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the cross. Through Scripture readings, prayer, and worship, we’ll walk together through the story of Christ’s passion and the depths of His love. Rather than rushing to celebration, we linger at the cross and reflect on what Jesus accomplished.

All are welcome.

Step through the wardrobe into a world of wonder!

On Sunday, March 29, we invite you on an adventure beyond the lamppost—where joy abounds, courage is kindled, and the greatest story ever told comes to life.
