WELCOME AND VILLAGE STATEMENT: We are the Village Church. When we gather in community we remember that God is with us. We know that we are imperfect people who make mistakes. We give thanks that God loves us anyway. In this community we practice patience, compassion, and forgiveness. When we leave this gathering, we go out to share God’s healing love with a broken world. We are Jesus’ instruments of hope in our world. We are followers of Jesus and we can change the world!
