At the Village Church, we are committed to helping each child take the first steps on a life-long journey with Jesus Christ. Our mission is to make the Village Kids (ages 6 weeks to 5th grade) a place where children can discover who God is through His stories in the Bible and grow in their personal relationship with Him.

In addition to the Village Kids’ Sunday morning programs, we have Kids’ Choir and Kids’ Bell Choir with musicals during the Christmas and Lenten seasons. We also offer family Mission Opportunities - times when groups of families come together to serve in the local community. Our largest community outreach, Vacation Bible School, has shared the Gospel with children in local communities for more than 20 years.

We help each student to know and follow Jesus. We walk alongside our young people (and their parents) as they develop their relationship with Jesus, and as they discover the joy, love, and wisdom that Jesus brings.

We help each youth to understand that being a disciple of Jesus is a life-long endeavor. We teach that our Christian faith needs to shape our values, influence our relationship choices, and change how we live. Each youth is encouraged to discover how they can join God's mission in their everyday life. We believe our youth can reflect God’s goodness right where they are — at home, at school, or in their community.

We want our students and leaders to experience authentic relationships with each other and with their mentors here. Together we'll have fun, challenge each other, support one another, and walk through both the good and tough times.

Additionally, 8th Graders are invited to participate in Confirmation each year between February and April. As for our weekly programs and for further info, please see below. Contact us for more information about anything you'd like to know more about!
