Be aware of email scams appearing to come from VPC Staff
Several members of the congregation and staff have recently received emails claiming to come from Pastor David Joynt and others. Please take a second look at any emails from VPC that look or sound peculiar. Remember: •
Emails from VPC Staff & Pastors ALWAYS end in '@vpc.church'
•
VPC Staff & Pastors will never directly solicit for gift cards or other items to be sent somewhere else (authentic emails may ask for donations that are brought to VPC)
•
Be wary of emails asking for personal information that VPC already has (via SimpleChurch or other registrations)
If you have any questions, ask first! Feel free to email Kris Bahr: krisb@vpc.church.
