Christian Education
“…Equipping the saints
for the work of ministry,
for building up the body of Christ….”
Mission Statement
At VBC, it is our desire to teach people about the Gospel, guide them to a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and to grow their faith so they can serve our God Almighty.
We want to lead you to understand your spiritual gifts, equip you to grow in your faith and help you understand how you can serve God. We desire that you be able to read your Bible and call upon the Holy Spirit to help you understand what God is saying to you. We will encourage you to develop a personal prayer life, learn what the attributes of God are, understand creation, and equip you to serve God in our Church, in our Community, in our Country and in our World.
Studies at VBC
Regardless of where you are in your spiritual journey, we want to equip you with biblical education. Life Courses equip you for discipleship in all areas of life by teaching biblical doctrine and principles for Christian Living. Life Courses typically run 4-10 weeks based on the curriculum. We offer courses in the Winter, Spring, Summer, and Fall. Check out our course offerings below.
