Giving
For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
- Matthew 6:21
Why we give.
God is generous and so he calls us to be as well. What we do with what God has given us shows the world where our hearts are and helps proclaim the gospel. We want to glorify God with every area of our lives, and that includes what we do with our finances.

GATHERING OF FRIENDS ANNUAL GALA
Our biggest annual church and school benefit is the Gathering of Friends, a spectacular dinner and auction held in the spring for everyone from our community.

STEWARDSHIP
What are those offering envelopes for? Sunday worship, Wednesday Bible studies, The Chapel School, fellowship opportunities, mission projects, Sunday School, glorious music and more are the blessings we receive with our membership at VLC. These blessings are supported by your generous and voluntary offerings, given with grateful hearts and the knowledge that everything we have is a gift from our loving Father. We invite you to prayerfully consider what part of your financial resources may be given to the Lord's work and ask that you establish that offering as a regular part of your household bookkeeping.
