Rooted in Love, Growing in Faith

Village Kids & Youth

We believe living out God’s mission means growing in faith both inside and outside the sanctuary. Our Sunday School classes—offered for all ages—bring Scripture to life in ways that are meaningful, engaging, and lasting.

Nursery

(Infant - 4 years)

Our nursery provides a safe, nurturing space where little ones can play, explore, and grow while parents attend worship. Loving volunteers create a warm environment tailored to the youngest members of our church family. We explore a Bible story with a curriculum from Amazing+ that engages kids and keeps them excited about what they are learning.

Treetops

(Grades K-5)
In the Treetops, classes use a curriculum from Amazing+ to help children and families grow in faith together. Each session includes large-group storytelling, small-group discussions, and mission-focused prayer and activities that connect kids to God’s story in age-appropriate ways.

Village Youth

6th - 12th Grade

Village Youth strives to create a space for students to know, love and follow Jesus through authentic experiences and relationships with other disciples their age and loving Christian mentors. We encourage our students to discover how they can join God’s mission in their everyday life - at home, at school, and in their communities, because we believe our Christian faith shapes our values, influences our relationships and affects our entire life.

Sunday Youth Church (SYC) meets Sunday mornings during the contemporary worship service. A time where middle and high school students discuss and study the same key concepts as the contemporary service, but with specific application and relevance to the life of students.

Adults

At the Village Church we are committed to discipleship – following Jesus in all aspects of our everyday lives. Through our adult ministries we hope to provide opportunities for you to grow in your faith within a community setting, or what we call a small group, where you learn to read scripture, pray, and share your faith with others.

Adults at the Village Church can get connected in a couple of ways. We offer two different Sunday morning classes as well as multiple midweek study and fellowship groups.

Adult Sunday School & Sunday Morning Discipleship Group

These two opportunities are designed to deepen your understanding of the Bible through rotating topical studies and help you to live it out through practical applications.

Group Life

“Group Life” refers to regular, intentional gatherings in smaller, relational settings (often in homes, cafés, or church spaces) to do life together outside of Sunday services. We have groups that meet for study and learning, fellowship, caring and serving. Regardless of the type of group you belong to, it is our vision that all of our groups would foster and develop an authentic Christian community, nurture discipleship and further God's mission in the world together.

Serve

Our mission at Village Church is to join God’s mission in everyday life. Where is God working and how can we partner with what He’s already doing? These are some of the ways Village Church is involved in service inside our church walls and outside of our building that you partner with.
