Once per summer, typically in July, Village Church transforms into a wild place full of adventure, generosity, and hands-on Bible experiences. 

VBS brings God’s word to other kids in our community, as well as our own Village Kids, helping them flourish while they’re immersed in what feels like a different thematic world! Registration opens around Easter. Find our recap video playlist here. 

Child dedication at Village Church offers parents the opportunity to invite the Lord to work in their child’s life. Open up their story to the community of believers at Village Church as a source of encouragement and accountability.  Committing to the ownership of being a child’s primary sources of discipleship towards Jesus. We offer a class that entails what this process looks like at Village Church, and equips you with all the information necessary to take your next steps. Child dedication is most often done for infants, but is not limited to that age range.
To preserve the integrity and meaning of this event, we ask that the parents be married and the dedicating parent(s) have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. 

We also dedicate babies of single moms and dads. Children of single parents who are living with a partner (not married, as defined by the Bible) cannot be dedicated at Village Church.

It is preferred that parents are members of Village Church, but you may also dedicate your child if you are an involved, regular attender for more than 6 months.

Believer’s baptism by immersion is one of the two ordinances practiced at Village Church.

There are two main reasons to be baptized: obedience to Jesus’ command (Matthew 28:18-20) and public acknowledgment of faith in Christ.

We believe baptism is less about a person’s age and more about his or her understanding of, proclamation of, and personal belief in the gospel. We also believe baptism should be approached with special care.

Village Church offers a family baptism class to help parents of 1st-6th graders walk through the baptism tenet and process with their children (Kindergarteners may be permitted but must receive permission).

The intent of this class is to equip parents to better discern their child’s belief in and understanding of the gospel in order to determine their readiness for baptism. It is a great way for you and your child to learn what the Bible says about making this public profession of faith, and why we believe what we do.

The second ordinance Village Church practices is communion. Village Kids offers a next step resource: Communion: A Bible Study Workbook for Kids. Our only requirement for kids to take communion is their professed belief in Jesus Christ as their Lord, along with their parents’ permission. Communion partakers should be able to clearly articulate the gospel and their belief in it. We believe that a young child may not fully comprehend the depths of the gospel, yet they are still capable of participating in the benefits of the gospel.

At Village Church we do not see this as a supernatural event, but yet a still significant spiritual event. Jesus established communion in remembrance of what He did for us. Communion is also an opportunity for personal reflection, repentance, and to cherish the forgiveness of Christ. Communion is offered nearly every Sunday during our church services, and each year at our Good Friday services. We do not practice communion on Sundays in Village Kids.
