Ministry Explained
September and October are busy and exciting times in the life of Village Bible Church. Much is happening – so much that the common question we’ve heard these past few weeks has been, “How do I choose?” While our ministry strategy continues to evolve, our current primary ministries give us the opportunity to:
Celebrate… Connect …
Care… and Cooperate!
Sunday Morning Worship - Celebrate: This is our opportunity to gather asa church family with the purpose of worshiping and adoring our God. What a privilege it is to have this special time each week to celebrate who God is (Acts 2:42; Hebrews 10:24-25).
Small Groups – Care: Small groups are the basic units for Christian community at VBC. They give us an opportunity to “exhort one another every day, as long as it is called ‘today,’ that none of you may be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin” (Hebrews 3:12-13). Small groups are also a primary “delivery system” for pastoral care. Thus, we encourage every attender to pursue Christ together in a small group.
Adult Bible Fellowship – Connect: Adult Bible Fellowships exist as a strategic link to help our church family move beyond worship towards a dynamic discipleship process of relationships, spiritual growth, and commitment to Jesus. ABFs also provide a great first step into the community of VBC. Consider inviting visitors you meet during the worship service to join you in an ABF. They may not be ready to jump into a small group but may look at this as an easy first step toward getting more connected.
Generations – Cooperate: In Deuteronomy 6 God tells us that we’re to teach our children to love Him with all their heart, soul and strength. One of the goals of our Sunday evening Generations ministry is to equip and empower parents, grandparents and people who love children to do just that – together.
