Van City?

Van City is a church of imperfect people, young and old, from disparate stories and experiences. We join a story more than 2,000 years in the making of Christians coming together around the shared belief that Jesus is Lord.

Everyone is welcome to join us as we…

  • Every Sunday, we gather as a family to be with God and one another. We take communion, seek God’s Spirit, eat and drink, worship, pray, and study the Scriptures.

  • We meet in smaller groups during the week in homes and around dinner tables to share life and accountability and to learn what it means to put the teachings of Jesus into practice.

  • In a healthy family, everyone pitches in. It takes dozens of volunteers every week to host the Sunday gathering. From making coffee and preparing communion to playing in the band and teaching kids’ classes, we need men and women willing to demonstrate self-sacrificial love by serving the church

  • We practice the spiritual discipline of generosity by giving finances to the church and to the cause of justice in our city and around the world.

    Kids

    Our vision for Van City Kids is not a daycare for church-going parents, but an important aspect of our kids’ spiritual formation. We want our kids to learn about Jesus, experience friendship and community, and be led well by adults who know and love them.
