Hope for healing
Are you estranged from family or friends? Estrangement is an emotional distancing, a cessation of communication. It is prevalent and hard to talk about; we want to help. We will discuss reasons for estrangement, how to deal with our pain and guilt, and successful steps for reconciliation.

2018 "Per Capita" $34 per member In the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), each church pays a predetermined amount, determined by church membership, to bring leaders together and serve the denomination. VPC covers the $34 per member, but reimbursements coming in designated “Per Capita” allows us to support other areas of ministry.
Master Plan Model
We invite you to come take a look at the model displayed in the church office. The VPC Master Plan Team and Jones Studio have envisioned a single primary worship space, a new heart for our campus, and a greatly improved facility for families, hospitality, and outreach. Without building any new structures, they have envisioned a way to reorganize and renew our existing spaces that accomplishes all these goals in a way that is beautiful and powerful. It is a transformational plan.
