Sisterhood Night, previously called The Well, is a gathering for women from every generation and we would love to have you there!

She is the author of two Bible studies and has spoken for MOPS International, The NEST, and on several podcasts including Don’t Mom Alone and Connected Families. For over 20 years, Julie has been equipping women and churches to walk alongside those who are hurting with grace and truth.

Students & Parents!

Join us on Saturday, November 15 to team up and serve the widows in our community. We'll be breaking into teams and doing some yard work, hanging Christmas lights, cleaning, and doing some other jobs. We've done this for years now, and students always have a great experience, and the widows are always so grateful. It's an easy way to help in a real way.

We have a much higher number of widows signed up this year than in years prior, so we really need the help! We also really need some adults to help out at the houses and drive students. This is a great way to serve with your kids!

We start at 8:30 AM at VCC and are usually wrapped up before noon, depending on how much help we can get. 

Join us for a special Lunch & Learn as we hear from Saji Mathew, a VCC-supported missionary serving with Harvest Mission, an organization that consists of several ministries devoted to reaching unreached people in India and Nepal.

Come hear about Harvest Mission's impact, and discover how you can pray for and support what God is doing overseas. Lunch is provided!

If you are experiencing grief or loss, the holiday season can be painful.

We'd like to invite you to a special time of support and prayer following the 11 AM service in the Fireside Room. GriefShare: Surviving the Holidays is a wonderful place to find comfort and care in God's love with others walking through grief.

Please register for the event, and contact dane@vc.church with any questions.

Together, we'll explore spiritual direction and other forms of spiritual companioning through teaching, testimonies, and an opportunity to practice. Learn how to discern when spiritual direction might be helpful, and discover next steps if you’re interested in receiving or learning to offer this kind of care. Lunch provided! Join us in the Fireside Room.

Our next Refuge event is Glow-in-the-Dark Hockey! Students will sign up as a team and play hockey in the Hall through a bracket, ultimately ending with one winning team! Encourage your students to bring a friend or two to make their teams great! We will serve pizza during the event as well!

We will start playing right at 6:45, so please try to be there at 6:30 to sign up for teams!

Baptism is a powerful symbol of new life. It’s a way to publicly declare the transformation God has already begun in you—marking a step of faith, obedience, and belonging in His story. If you haven’t been baptized yet, we invite you to take this step.

Sign up for one of our upcoming baptisms, and we’ll walk with you through the journey. A baptism class is held two weeks before to help you understand its significance and prepare for this meaningful moment (Matt. 28:19, Acts 2:38–41).

Men’s Light Night: Becoming Like-Hearted
Campfires • Sausages • Brotherhood

Most of us want brotherhood—but what we actually have is a group chat and a calendar that says otherwise. We long for connection, but we’re tired. Overloaded. Stuck. What if the answer isn’t more hustle, better time management, or a perfect system?

There is an answer. This month’s Light Night is inspired by Morgan Snyder’s Becoming a King, and the idea of becoming like-hearted—not just like-minded or like-scheduled. Like-hearted men walk in the light together, fight for one another’s gardens, and refuse to settle for surface-level friendship.

Expect cornhole and games, campfires, grilled sausages, and a short word to stir your heart. You’ll leave full—but more importantly, connected.

$10 | Bring your own camping chair and a friend. Let’s build something real.
