Send us Fan Mail December is ‘fallow’ month here at The Village. It is a time when we pull back from the big pull to be super busy during the Christmas season. No hustle and bustle. No crazy schedules. No programs and extra practices. No exhausting rehearsals. No frantic shopping sprees. No madness. The concept of ‘fallowness’ is found in the Bible; Every six years of cultivating the fields was fo...

We resist our exclusionary ways in order to allow people to find God at their own pace and in their own way. We seek to understand the perspective of others and to l...

Send us Fan Mail We apologize for the poor recording quality.  We are in the process of fixing the issue.

We want our community to be unafraid to confess sin and failure, and we want to be sure that people count the cost as they begin their walk with Jesus. We weep with those who...

Send us Fan Mail Foremost among our values is that we are called to be the body of Christ and to live in community with each other. We recognize that being together is hard and that it takes work and sacrifice to be able to truly love and serve each other.

Send us Fan Mail At the Village we believe that people are made in the image of a creative God and that because this is true, we also create.
