Intentional Ministry Requires Intentional Giving
Share Your 2024 Intended Giving
In order to plan effectively and steward well, we are asking you to intentionally determine how much you will donate to Village Church for the rest of 2024, as well as forecast your 2025 giving to the best of your ability. This will allow us to build disciples intentionally with a focus on people over programs.
We know things change and life happens. We will in no way hold you to the exact numbers you submit. However, we ask that you use this as an opportunity to faithfully steward what God has given you financially, so we can faithfully and collectively steward the souls God has given us to care for at Village Church.
If you have any questions or wish to see regular updates about our finances, visit vcob.org/give or contact our Administrative Pastor, Steve Boyd, at sboyd@vcob.org.
