Serve Outside The Church / Missions

Be Part of the Mission

We want to equip you and provide opportunities for you to serve outside the church walls and help others. Helping others is at the core of who we are. In fact, it’s so important that it’s part of our church mission – helping people experience Life Change, Life Growth, and Life Purpose! Life Purpose is all about doing what God created us to do, which is to serve others!

Command them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share.

We want to be an exceedingly generous church giving BIG to help people in need locally, regionally, and globally. Check out Reclaim3d, which exists to reclaim bad circumstances into something beautiful locally, regionally, and globally.

Here Are Ways We’re Helping Others

Local and Regional Missions

But if anyone has the world’s goods and sees his brother in need, yet closes his heart against him, how does God’s love abide in him? Little children, let us not love in word or talk, but in deed and truth.

    Reclaim3d Banquet and Golf Outing To Invest In Our Communities

    This year, our goal for 2024 was to raise $50,000 for Reclaim3d locally so we can invest in our communities each month. We will provide 19 Mobile Food Pantries, back to school clothes for local kids, and help struggling families with rent and utility assistance.

    God showed up big time and we are over $72,000 and counting. Thank you to everyone who participated and donated to the annual Reclaim3d event!

    Big Give For Kids

    The Village cares about families and looks for opportunities to ease the financial burden of going back to school.

    The Big Give For Kids held on  August 2 & 3 allowed kids to receive free gently used clothes, new shoes and socks, school supplies and a bottle of laundry detergent for the family. 

    We are so grateful for the 159 families and 424 kids that were served at this event. 

    Thank you to everyone who donated and participated in organizing and serving at The Big Give For Kids!
