The vision of the women’s ministry team is: “To connect, develop, and equip the women of VBC to strengthen each other and the Church for God’s glory.”  Specifically, we do this through planning mentoring training and connections, bible studies, prayer times, and events/retreats.  We need women whose strength is toward the “head” with discernment to brainstorm and keep us faithful to God’s Word; women whose strength is the “heart” to keep us focused on loving Jesus and how to love women suffering from the brokenness of this life; and women whose strength is “hands” to carry out all the practical details of carrying out these plans. We meet once a quarter and would love to have you join us!”
