Church Directory
Church Directory
Our invite-only, opt-in virtual congregation directory. Church Center is where our congregation can go to connect with our church. We’re so excited to offer this feature to anyone who considers VBCEG to be their home. We hope this will be a new means to connect with one another in our community. Don’t worry, your information is always private until you choose to share it and you can change your privacy settings or opt-out at any time.
