what are community groups?
At VCC we use a free market model for Community Groups. These groups are broad based, driven by people's passions full of innovation and creativity. We are striving to be a Church of community groups not a Church with community groups. We want to be permission granting, giving people the freedom to start or choose a group based on relationships, common interests or needs.
Registered and Unregistered groups: A registered group means that this group benefits from promotion, resources, accountability, and leadership training. You are free to start an unregistered group of any kind but it will not be promoted or guided by VCC. This does not mean in any way that we discourage this kind of group. In fact it may be the very thing that God wants you to do!
If you are interested in starting or finding a Community Group, contact tim@vailchristian.com for resources, orientation, and training.
