Serving Together for Tomorrow: Day 1

What was your first involvement in a church mission? What are your favorite current mission connections?

by David Joynt on October 16, 2016


1 PETER 4:10-11

Stronger Service | Church Challenge Five 

Stronger service is key for the future of VPC. Our church has a history of serving in many wonderful ways in the community, and forming partnerships with many excellent mission organizations around the country and the world. But the importance of mission is even greater in our current cultural context.

Today, the gateway into participation in the church is often participation in the church’s mission and service. Many people in rising generations are not asking faith questions or seeking affiliation with communities of faith. But they want to see the world change, and church initiatives are often the best vehicles for dealing with the hardest social and personal issues, including homelessness, hunger, addiction, and exclusion. The integrity of our work with those in need can attract others into our efforts, and then faith questions arise. What we do becomes a window into who we are.
