Way of Apprenticeship

Get to know Valley Community Church and take a meaningful next step in your faith at Way of Apprenticeship, our reimagined Membership Class!

Throughout this five-week course, we’ll walk through our mission, core beliefs, and the distinctives that shape who we are as a church. We’ll also talk about why Covenant Membership matters and how being part of the church family helps us grow together as apprentices of Jesus. Along the journey, you'll explore your spiritual gifts and discover practical ways to connect, serve, and participate in the life of VCC.

Whether you’re new to the church or ready to go deeper, Way of Apprenticeship is a great place to learn who we are, meet our team as well as others like yourself, and discover how you can find your place here.

Unable to attend all five weeks?

No problem! We'd love for you to come to all of them or any one of them. Make-up classes will be available at a later date.

Baptism Sunday
May
31

Baptism Sunday

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.

To help you prepare, we will offer a baptism class on Sunday, May 17 from 10-10:45 AM in the VCC Conference Room.

Ready to take this step? Sign up today!

We will be heading over to Felton, CA (Santa Cruz County) for a fun week of everything that makes our summer camps so great: tons of time to be with your friends, memorable activities, and huge opportunities to grow in your faith. We hope this summer is one that each middle schooler will remember for years to come!

What is Xtreme Camp?
Xtreme Camp is our annual summer camp connected with Refuge Middle School Ministry at Valley Community Church. This camp is an opportunity to retreat from our normal fast-paced schedules, emphasize building community, and create a space where students can experience the presence of God.

Each day typically consists of a morning chapel session, a big rec game between breakfast and lunch, another chapel session, free time, a night session after dinner, and—finally—night rec activities!
