1. Gospel-Centrality

The good news of Jesus' death and resurrection for us is what makes us who we are. Because Jesus died and rose from the dead, we know what it means to be forgiven, to be loved by God and to have hope and significance. The gospel is at the center of everything we do.

2. Biblical Teaching

There are so many competing voices in our world, but we believe God has revealed Himself clearly in the Bible. Because of this, Village is committed to solid Bible teaching and preaching, and to helping our people read and understand the Bible on their own.

3. Whole-Life Worship

The gospel shows us an incredible God who is bigger and better than anyone else we admire. We respond to this God in humble love and whole-life worship—not just by singing together (though we do that!), but also by delighting in God individually, and together in community.

4. Authentic Community

Our world can be a lonely place. But the church is called to be a community where God’s people know and are known in love. We are passionate about pursuing honest and grace-filled relationships. Growing in our relationship with God is so much better when it’s done with others.

5. Gospel-Spreading Intentionality

The gospel is too good to keep to ourselves. As a result, we aim to live intentional lives. We do this by sharing the good news and doing good in Jesus’ name in our spheres of influence, in our neighborhoods and throughout the world.
