OUR VISION & VALUES

Christian churches share the essentials of the faith, but every church has its own distinctive ways of carrying these out. What shapes and guides Village Pres? We desire to be...

A grace-centered

We believe worship, transformation, rest, and mission happen when we experience the lavish, steadfast love of God shown to us in Jesus Christ (Psalm 107, 136; Rom. 8:1-2; Eph. 1:1–2:10).

relational

Our modern world leads to loneliness and isolation. Even when surrounded by people, we can hide ourselves and not be truly known or loved. We believe God’s grace frees us to open ourselves to one another in grace and truth, empowers us to walk in repentance and faith together, and calls us to welcome others into community by acts of hospitality (Proverbs 29:7; Acts 2:42-47, 10:24-25; Gal. 6:2; James 5:16; Matt. 25:31–40).

Presbyterian church

We are a church plant of the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA), a denomination in the Protestant Reformed tradition. We believe reading and preaching the Word of God, prayer, singing praises, the Sacraments, and Christian fellowship are means God has given us to experience, appropriate, and grow in his grace. These ancient but timeless practices of worship are the heartbeat of the Christian faith and are at the center of our church’s life together. PCA churches partner with and are held accountable to other PCA churches regionally (“Presbytery”) and nationally (“General Assembly”), and are locally governed by elders elected by the congregation. (Ex. 20:4–6; Acts 2:42–47, 14:23, 15:1-35).

on mission

God has created us to know and love him, love our neighbors, and make disciples. We want to be a missional community in both word and deed—proclaiming the good news of Jesus, maturing in the faith together, and caring for the spiritual and tangible needs in our church and community. (Ex. 19:5–6; Jer. 29:4–11; Matt. 22:34-40, 28:19–20; 1 Thess. 4:9–12; 1 Pet. 2:9).

Village Pres is in the beginning stages of planting. We are currently worshiping together at sister PCA churches and gathering on select Sunday evenings for prayer and training. For more information about how to get involved, see Get Involved or Contact Us.
