Missions
At The Village Chapel, we realize the Christian church does not exist merely for itself.
We are here first and foremost to glorify God, and then second, to become the arms of Jesus reaching out to a broken and hurting world.
This outreach-minded mission requires two things: words and deeds. The words of the Christian mission proclaim the good news of God’s grace offered in Christ Jesus. The deeds of the Christian mission involve reaching out in love to help the helpless, to bring comfort to the grieving, to bring justice to the oppressed and relief to the poor.
As a church, we live this out by giving away 15 percent of the tithes and offerings we take in to assist worthy organizations in their ongoing work. This means that through your generous financial support of The Village Chapel, you already support dozens of ministries, both local and international. These include a wide range of ministries that focus on the important works of evangelism, justice and mercy.
“We are sent into the world, like Jesus, to serve. For this is the natural expression of our love for our neighbors. We love. We go. We serve.”
John Stott
Opportunities to Serve
Second Saturdays
At Second Saturdays TVC provides opportunities for you to engage with local organizations that we support financially. Serving monthly is a great way to meet others, while loving our neighbors! Please make plans now to serve on Second Saturdays. We will announce project details and sign-ups each month.
Mission Trips
Twenty-three TVCers traveled to Brazil in 2023 to serve pastors and their communities along the Amazon with Justice & Mercy International. We are grateful for each team member, for the JMI staff who hosted us and for the pastors and the communities we served. May the Lord continue to use our service for His glory and the good of those along the Amazon.

Compassion Child Sponsorship
The Village Chapel has a long history with Compassion International and their child sponsorship program. Shortly after the church began in 2001, we started sponsoring a young girl in Patzicia, Guatemala. Pastor Jim would give regular updates as we watched her grow and eventually graduate from the program. Along the way, as new children entered the program, Compassion would give TVC the first opportunity to make these sponsorship opportunities available to our congregation.
Today, individual TVCers and families sponsor more than 200 children in four villages in the same region of Guatemala, with the addition of San Antonio Nejapa, Santa Apolonia and Las Victorias to our original location of Patzicia.
