Outreach & Missions

VFC is involved in all kinds of outreach around the world!

At Valley Family Church, we believe the old adage that "the church that shines the farthest, shines the brightest at home," and that's why we have been faithful supporters of missions works around the world since the inception of the church.

Missions Trips: Each year, we offer one or more missions trip for VFC'ers to participate in. Our missions work has included trips to: Guatamala, Africa, Appalachian Mountains and New Mexico Indian Reservations. VFC has sent a couple of missions teams to aid in disaster relief to New Orleans, as well as locally when emergency needs arise.

Widows & Orphans Work: In James 1:27, the Bible says that real religion is to care for orphans and widows. Project 1:27 is an ongoing outreach ministry to "orphans and widows" for that very purpose. We have sent teams to many local agencies including Habitat for Humanity and local neighborhoods to build, help widows, single moms and those in need. We have also sent teams to other nations to build home for widows and orphans, to teach kids and to minister God's love to the fatherless.

Missionaries, Ministries and Non-Profit Organizations: We believe in supporting world missions and those who are taking the gospel of Jesus Christ to the ends of the earth.
