Join us for Family Baptism Night, a special time when we eat dinner together and celebrate our children and students as they get baptized! This is seriously one of the best things we do all year.

If you think baptism is a good next step for your child or student, or if they have expressed interest in baptism, please talk with them and encourage them to come to one of our baptism classes. You can sign them up at the link below. If your child does get baptized, feel free to invite your family and close friends to celebrate with us on April 22!

What does the baptism class look like?
We meet at Meadowlark Dairy and walk across the street to the park, where we will be crystal clear on what baptism is, why it’s important, and the theology behind it. We’ll eat good ice cream, read Scripture together, and talk about the significance of baptism. There are a few different time slots available over the next few weeks.

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. 

We’re bringing back a student-favorite Local event… Chopped! Students will break off into teams (usually their small groups) to prepare a dinner entree that will be served to a panel of judges in front of all of Local. Students are responsible to bring all ingredients and cooking tools/appliances they need. Join us for dinner with our church family at 6 PM before the event starts at 6:45 PM.

Move On Up Sunday is happening July 6!

It’s that special time of year when all children and students officially move up to their next grade level. From Pre-K (if entering Kindergarten this fall) through 12th grade, everyone will step into their new classrooms and age-specific environments.

Preschool and younger kids will continue in classes based on their age, but for everyone else, it’s a new chapter and a great time to get connected.

We love watching each child grow, and we’re excited to walk with them through this next season!
