Missions

The Church of the Nazarene has been a church that believes in living a holy life as well spreading the gospel. (Matthew 28:19-20). Jesus instructs us to spread His word and teach His commands to the world. We are called to serve. We accomplish this through Nazarene Missions International (NMI) and serving in our community. World and local missions continue to be a significant part of our mission at VNC.

Child Sponsorship

Nazarene Child Sponsorship exists to advocate for children who are destitute. Nazarene Child Sponsorship is part of Nazarene Compassionate Ministries. An individual, family, or group may commit to provide $25/month support. This investment will help with development through education, health, nutrition, social skills, and Christian training that will assist your child in growing into self-sustaining adults. Sponsors are given the child’s picture and are encouraged to pray faithfully and write letters to the child. Prayerfully consider this opportunity. More information is available at

Nazarene Compassionate Ministries

The goal of the Nazarene Compassionate Ministries is to follow the example of Jesus that seeks to clothe, shelter, feed and heal those who suffer any place in the world. You can partner with them through child sponsorship, clean water projects, disaster relief, refugee and immigrant support and much more. Visit www.ncm.org for more information.  

Be the Church

At VNC we are called to serve. We don’t want to just go to church, we want to Be The Church. Once a year after our morning service we go out into the community and complete various missions projects. We work with children, teens, adults, and elderly. We work with food pantries and local nursing homes to share the love of Christ. We help with yard work and prepare care packages for those who need it. Check the events page to find out if Be The Church day is coming up.

Meal Train Ministries

Everyone can go through a rough patch at times and we need a little help. If you know someone in our church community who could use a home cooked meal to help them get through this difficult time, please complete the following form so we can get information to serve them.
