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.
Children’s Bulletins and crayons for colouring are available at the Visitors’ Welcome Centre before you enter the sanctuary.
Nursery
We have a staffed nursery / toddler room downstairs at the end of the hallway with toys, cribs and change table. (Volunteers are trained in Safe Church policies and procedures.) It even has a PA system to listen to what's happening in the sanctuary if you’d prefer to stay with your baby.
Sunday School
On alternate Sundays, we offer Sunday School for kids 3-11 years old downstairs. Children begin upstairs with the full congregation and are invited to Sunday School before the sermon.
Sanctuary Craft Table
On Sundays without Sunday School, we set up a small table with crafts for the kids to enjoy during the sermon. Parents are encouraged to sit near the craft table so that children can move back and forth if they wish.
