Thank you, Pastor Pete!

After a season of prayer and discernment, Village Church and Pastor Pete Della Santina have mutually agreed this is a natural time to bring his ministry among us to a close. We are grateful for Pete's faithful service, pastoral care, and friendship. Pete will preach this Sunday, and, on his final Sunday, November 30, we'll host a reception following the 10:30am worship service to thank Pete for his ministry.

And while his role as Pastor of Community Care and Discipleship is ending, he's not moving, so we expect to see him around and involved in ways that continue to bless our faith community. Please join us in expressing your gratitude and in praying for Pete, Cheryl, and their family as they follow God's calling into the next chapter of ministry.

Connect with Village on Church Center

Join our Village community on Church Center, your one stop spot for sermon study resources, event registration, kids check-in, giving, and more. Pray over pastor written ministry prayer requests or request prayer yourself. Announcements will soon move to the Church Center app/website. Keep your family's information up to date in Village's database, all from Church Center.

Annual Staff Love Gift

The Village Council invites you to show tangible appreciation of the ministry by our pastors, directors, and staff over the last year. Each year the congregation contributes to this gift which is divided by the Personnel Commission among all Village staff. Please give over and above your regular offerings as a way of expressing love and gratitude for them. We'd like to bless our staff with this gift before Christmas, so consider making any gift by December 9. Give online by selecting “Staff Love Gift” or put that phrase on your check.

Have Extra Games & Puzzles?

As we put the finishing touches on our Village living room (Yamhill room), we would like to add some family friendly games and puzzles to make it a fun gathering space. If you have complete games and puzzles (no pieces missing), email Shirley Smith.

Welcome to Village!

Welcome! We are so glad you're here experiencing our missional, intercultural community. Consider stopping by the Welcome Center in the lobby for your welcome gift and to meet some of our pastoral staff. We want to connect with you!

Our 8:15am Chapel Service is designed to be accessible to those seeking to know more about God and the church as well as long-time believers. The more intimate worship space rests on the timeless traditions of the global church, leaving room for simplicity and creativity in our multicultural worship response. We sit at tables to worship in community and take communion weekly together as the body of Christ.

In our 10:30am Sanctuary Service, we engage with a diversity of cultures and languages as we worship and study the Word of our Diverse God together. You are welcome to make a joyful noise and join us in singing in a language other than your own! Our preaching team is made up of different cultural and language backgrounds, so we are blessed with Sundays when the preaching is in a language other than English, with live translation. Our non-native English-speaking church members do this weekly, so the larger church sharing this experience is important to being a missional, intercultural community in Christ. 한국어 통역이 있습니다, traducción en español, 每周日上午10:30的聚会都提供中文同步翻译。Nursery care for ages 0-3, kids programming for ages Pre-K-5th grade, and youth programming for 6th-12th grade are available.
