"And He gave some as apostles, and some as prophets, and some as evangelists, and some as pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of service, to the building up of the body of Christ; until we all attain to the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a mature man, to the measure of the stature which belongs to the fullness of Christ..." We hold strongly to Paul's teaching in Ephesians 4:11-13 where he describes the role of the pastor to the church. The pastoral staff equips the church for the work of ministry. The result of this, Paul says, is maturity and unity in Christ. The Village Church is committed to creating a model that follows the Biblical text, equipping our members to serve both within the community of believers and among the community which surrounds us. As you feel led to call The Village your church home, service will inevitably become a part of your life's worship. Our church body acknowledges that everything we are, and everything we possess, is a gift from God. That is why our musicians, our ushers, our children's ministry assistants, and people serving in all areas, donate talents and time; likewise, we give joyfully and sacrificially of our first-fruits as Scripture instructs. Weekend worship is not just a time of observation and experience, but of experiential participation. The greeters at the door, the receptionist, the pastor…all are used by God to speak into people's lives, to be a living sermon verbal or unspoken. Pray and consider where you might best serve your brothers and sisters in Christ. Church happens 24/7; lend your help and skills during the week, as well as on Saturdays and Sundays. We welcome you to join us in these ministries and look forward to serving with you. |
