MISSION, MINISTRY & SERVICE
We believe that each member “should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms. If anyone speaks, they should do so as one who speaks the very words of God. If anyone serves, they should do so with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ. To him be the glory and the power for ever and ever. Amen.” 1 Peter 4:10-11
CHILDREN'S MINISTRIES AT VCRC
KID'S WORSHIP: We love having kids worshipping with us. Children are always welcome to stay with their families in the church sanctuary at any time.

Nursery
We have a nursery and toddler room downstairs at the end of the hallway with toys, cribs and change table. Volunteers will keep an eye out for those needing support with kids during the service. (The rooms have a PA system to listen to what's happening in the sanctuary if you’d prefer to stay with your baby.)

Sunday School
Most Sundays we offer Sunday School for kids 3-11 years old in the adjacent Library. Children begin in the sanctuary with the full congregation and are invited to Sunday School with a blessing prayer before the sermon.

Sunday Kids' Resources
On Sundays without Sunday School and for those who wish their kids to stay in the sanctuary, children's bulletins, colouring books and activity books are available at the Visitors' Welcome Centre in the foyer.
YOUTH

Middle School Youth Group
(Grade 6 – 8)
In 2024 middle school youth group activities are on hiatus. We look forward to restarting youth group when staff/volunteers and students are here.

Youth Group
(Grade 9 – 12)
In 2022 senior youth were part of an active mentorship program - paired with an adult at VCRC - and connected for Bible Study and pizza nights. Previous to that we had a part-time Youth Coordinator on staff. We look forward to at a future at VCRC that includes this ministry again!
ADULTS

Young Adults
Post-secondary students and young in their careers supporting each other in faith formation, educational and career pursuits. Gathering informally as attendance ebbs and flows for coffee, Bible study, or local adventures - including weekly Sunday night Intermediate Volleyball for players/spectators.

Seniors' Coffee Hour
Seniors from VCRC and our sister congregation (CCC) meet in either the Foyer or the Fellowship Hall the second Tuesday of each month at 10:30 AM for faith engagement (prayer, devotions), social connection (coffee), and mutual support. Coffee is provided. Everyone is welcome!

Small Groups
There are small group opportunities at VCRC for those wanting to engage in Bible study, book study, thematic study, men's group, women's group, etc. Email the church office if you'd like to learn more or be connected with an active small group.

Membership Class
An opportunity to learn more about faith and life in Jesus Christ and what 'Christian Reformed' means. Scheduled as there is interest. Connect with an Elder to learn more by emailing the church office.

Women's Coffee Break
An all-ages women’s introductory Bible study, prayer and community time. We met in the Spring for a series on Titus & Philemon, and will be engaging in our next "Discover Your Bible" sessions mid September. Contact the church office to get put on the info list.
