God is at work in people's lives at VPC.
It can be challenging to remember to give to support God's work at VPC. Visit the website to give a one-time gift, or create a reoccurring donation monthly, weekly, or whenever you like.
A church community is woven together through the journeys our lives take. Listen and be inspired by these stories!
Update But who am I, and who are my people, that we should be able to give as generously as this? Oh Lord our God, as for all this abundance that we have provided for building you a temple for your Holy Name comes from your hand, and all of it belongs to you….And now I have seen with joy how willingly your people who are here have given to you. -1 Chronicles 29:14ff
A big thank you to the 280 families and individuals and the VPC Foundation that have committed $8.6 million toward the $10.2 million goal! An additional pledge of $500,000 has been promised to finish the campaign if $1.1 million can be raised to get us to $9.7M. Are you still considering a gift or pledge (payable over three years)? In April renovations will begin, and several important components, including Children’s and Student classrooms still need funding. The ability to complete all of Phase One renovations at once will potentially save more than $150,000 through work-site efficiencies. Please make your gift or pledge as soon as possible and join in what God is doing at VPC!

Like King David’s words to the assembly of Israelites as they consecrated their gifts that would support the building of a new temple of the Lord, I am amazed at God’s generosity and the generosity of so many at VPC as we embark on renewing our campus! We are very close to completing the fundraising goal for A New Heart for the Valley.
