CHRIS WOODARD MISSION & ENGAGEMENT PASTOR

2022 brought a new addition to the Woodard Family! As we welcomed baby Oliver into our home we also welcomed new and different opportunities at home. With Oliver’s addition came more work, but I am continually amazed to see how God opens up untapped potential within our family to meet these new tasks. I believe what we experienced within our family in 2022 mirrors exactly what God is doing at VPC.

This past year God drew our church into many fresh and different opportunities; new people are coming to our church, the needs of our neighbors and community are greater, and our testimony of the gospel is needed more and more in our culture. These opportunities are exciting! It is thrilling to me to see how VPC stepped up to do God’s work; to include new people into our community, to generously respond to the needs of our communities, and to stand for truth in a confused world. God is opening up untapped potential in our lives and in our community of faith.

As God does this work we are drawn deeper into our relationship with Jesus; better prepared to respond the needs of this world. Thank you church for allowing yourself to be used by God; to deepen our fellowship, serve the other and speak the truth. Acts 2:42-47
