When we say DNA, we are referring to the distinctives that identify the culture of The Village Chapel. These are the things that often describe a church, or give it a tone or feel. DNA, if you will, is the primer that bleeds through what we do and who we are. This might be seen as a shorthand way of getting to know us a little better.
DNA Distinctives:
- Verse-by-verse Bible teaching
- Congregational prayer
- Relational engagement
- Local and international mission opportunities
- Musical worship that is God-directed, Christ-centered, and congregationally accessible
- Children’s ministry that is creatively intentional in training young worshippers
- Support and practice of the arts
- One church, two campuses
Some values we hope describe us:
- Authenticity, organic, understated, welcoming
- Grace-filled and motivated
- A wellspring instead of a fire hose, a campfire instead of a lightning bolt
- Aesthetically mindful
- Known by what we are for, not what we are against
- Expressing the Gospel in both words and deeds
- In the essentials: unity; in the non-essentials: liberty; in all things: charity!
