Church is something that happens primarily outside of the context of a Sunday service. We want to do more than meet, have committees, and ask for money. Biblical Christianity is something that has the power to change the world, one community at a time. For this reason, we endeavor to place ourselves in those places that we believe Jesus is at. As it says somewhere in Galatians, “The whole law is summed up in this, love your neighbor as yourself”. Out of this desire, we seek to express the mercy of Christ in the following ways:

Recycling – Any time the doors are open
“God saw everything that He made, and behold, it was very good.” – Genesis 1
The people of God are responsible for benevolent rule and humble appreciation for the earth that God has given us.  Anyone is welcome to bring their used plastics, metals, paper and glass to go in our recycling bins and be taken to local county depots.  We also take ink cartridges and old cell phones.

Nursing home visitation – Every 3rd Monday at 6pm
“This is pure religion, to visit widows in their distress.” – James 1
VCC continues a long relationship with the residents of Augusta Gardens Nursing Home. This is a wonderful opportunity to spend time with those who, in many cases, have no family or friends. It is beautiful to watch the love of Christ dispel loneliness and bring joy and comfort to the elderly.

Food pantry outreach- bring some food to drop off every Sunday
“Divide your bread with the hungry.” – Isaiah 58
In the Old Testament, the faithful were instructed to leave portions of their fields and fruit trees for the poor of the land. Today, we have the opportunity to spend a few extra dollars each week as we buy our own groceries and donate the food to the hungry.
