Staff – Who’s Who

Meet Our Team

The Village Christian Church staff is committed to serving God and carrying out the mission of The Village – to help people experience Life Change, Life Growth, and Life Purpose. This is done by remaining focused on our Core Values:

PRAY FIRST

Before we plan, decide or act, we seek God. Prayer isn’t our last resort, it’s our first response.  

THE BIBLE IS OUR GUIDE

We don’t follow culture, opinions, or personal preferences, but allow scripture to lead the way.  

EVERYBODY IN

Everybody grows. Everybody serves. Everybody gives. Everybody helps others to find and follow Jesus. We believe every follower of Christ has a next step to take and a role to play.

COURAGE OVER COMFORT

We choose courageous obedience over comfortable caution. We aren’t afraid to risk and take bold steps of faith so more people can find and follow Jesus. 

NO BORING HERE

We have fun learning about God, growing in our faith, and serving with people we love. We take Jesus seriously, but we don’t take ourselves too seriously.
