VGC LOVES

Called to Go. Committed to Love.

From neighborhood events to global missions, we’re committed to loving our city and reaching the Valley for Jesus. Guided by Matthew 28:19, our purpose is simple: make disciples, serve our neighbors, and show up with love.

LOVE WEEK

Every February, we step outside the walls of our church and into the heart of our city for Love Week—a full week dedicated to serving the Valley through intentional acts of kindness, compassion, and community outreach. This is our way of living out the call to go, serve, and make disciples—one act of love at a time.

HARVEST PARTY

Every October, we open our doors—and our parking lot—for our Annual Harvest Party, a neighborhood-wide event packed with fun, laughter, and community connection. This is a free, family-friendly alternative to Halloween where kids can dress up, enjoy games, and make unforgettable memories.

FILL-A-BOX CAMPAIGN 

During the Thanksgiving season, we come together as a church to love our neighbors in a tangible way through our Fill-A-Box campaign.
We collect canned goods, boxed foods, and pantry staples to create full Thanksgiving meal boxes for families in need across the Valley. Once the boxes are filled, our teams personally deliver them—right to the doorsteps of those who need it most.
It’s more than a meal. It’s hope, dignity, and a reminder that no one is forgotten.

HOLDEMAN ELEMENTARY CHRISTMAS PARTY

Every December, we partner with Holdeman Elementary to bring Christmas cheer to children who might otherwise go without. Through this special outreach, we purchase and wrap gifts for students in need—then deliver them with love during a Christmas celebration they’ll never forget.
From the moment we walk through the doors, our mission is simple: make every child feel seen, valued, and celebrated during the holiday season.

WOMEN'S CHRISTMAS WRAP PARTY

Since 2019, the She's In Christmas Event has been a cherished annual event, allowing us to bless our sisters from the Changing Lives Center.
In 2024, we did things a bit differently. Instead of having the ladies come to us, we decided to bring gifts to them. In the spirit of the Angel Tree program, each woman was paired with a sponsor from our church who provided personalized gifts to brighten her Christmas season.

MISSIONS 2027

We’re prayerfully planning a potential missions trip to Cuba in 2027! While details are still coming together, this trip would be an opportunity to serve local churches, support community outreach, and share the love of Christ in a powerful way.

Stay tuned for more information as plans develop—and begin praying now about how you might be a part of what God could do in Cuba!
