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
Serve the City
TVC provides opportunities for you to engage with local organizations that we support financially. Serving is a great way to meet others, while loving our neighbors! 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 is grateful for its long partnership with Compassion International, which began 25 years ago at our very first gathering. With just 30 people present, our first offering was collected and in God’s providence, the amount given was exactly what was needed for one year of support for a child through Compassion. Our very first offering was given away in full, beginning a lasting partnership.
Since then, TVCers have sponsored more than 200 children in four villages in Guatemala—Patzicia, San Antonio Nejapa, Santa Apolonia, and Las Victorias. Many have traveled on mission trips to serve these communities and meet their sponsored children, some of whom are now adults with families of their own.
We are thankful that this relationship continues today, including opportunities to sponsor children in our partner communities and longest waiting children in Guatemala. We invite you to prayerfully consider sponsoring a child and joining us in releasing children from poverty in Jesus’ name.
