Way of Apprenticeship Course
In a fragmented world, many of us see life in bits and pieces, missing the bigger picture. This class aims to present a clear and practical vision of how following Jesus leads to true human flourishing. We'll explore what it means to be His apprentice by connecting biblical theology, apologetics, and spiritual formation into a unified whole. Together, we'll learn how to reshape our imagination and transform our daily habits under the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Curious about how to truly follow Jesus? Come and see.
Join us for dinner at 6 PM. We will start right at 6:45 PM in the Fireside Room.
Alpha at Inklings Coffee & Tea
Got questions about life and faith? Alpha at Inklings is a space for open, honest conversations about the big questions—no pressure, no judgment, just real talk. Whether you're wondering about life’s purpose, why bad things happen, or what comes next, Alpha offers a place to explore without expectations.
Baptism Sunday
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).
Ready to take this step? Sign up today!

Men's Light Night
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.
Lunch & Learn w/ the Talleys
Join us for a special Lunch & Learn as we hear from Melinda Talley, a longtime VCC mission partner serving in Málaga, Spain with Novo. Her heart is to create safe, Spirit-led spaces where Spaniards can encounter Jesus—through spiritual companionship, healing prayer, creative discipleship, and practical acts of love in her neighborhood.
You'll be encouraged by her stories of walking with not-yet-believers, nurturing new leaders, and awakening a generation to join God’s redemptive work in Málaga and beyond. Whether through coaching, counseling, marriage resources, or everyday conversations over coffee, the Talleys are living out the Gospel in powerful, everyday ways.
Come be inspired—and discover how you can pray for and support what God is doing in Spain. Lunch is provided!
