Our series of Roots & Branches classes are designed to deepen and strengthen each person's individual walk with the Lord, and so to enable them to reach further into their community, cover a greater area of ministry, and bear greater fruit for the Kingdom. Topics are focused on areas that are crucial to a strong foundation in Christ, as well as, empowering individuals to go forth and be effective in the area of ministry to which God has called them. Unless otherwise noted in the description, Saturday classes at VCC are 9:00 am - 3:00 pm, in the Lobby. Lunch is provided for these, so sign-up is required. Sign-ups can be found in the Lobby as each class approaches.

Activate 58, with Hugh Halter, will be a time of challenging, activating and commissioning every believer into the true fast (Isaiah 58) of reaching out to the lost, the oppressed, the hungry, the homeless, the naked who are all around us…often an unseen state of the heart! It’s time for every son & daughter of God to be fully awake and walking in beautiful partnership with Holy Spirit to see His kingdom come and His will be done right here on earth as it is in heaven.
We hope that you will join us for this powerful one day event with Hugh Halter, who is a catalyst for this message. This isn’t about one church doing this, it’s about THE CHURCH! One day. One church. One mission. ACTIVATE 58
This is a free event, but registration is required:
