Village Church

WElcome

Welcome to Village Church. In 2001, my wife and I felt a calling to begin a new church in Blythewood. Since that time, Village Church has grown to over 1,000 people gathering for worship each week. Our commitment as a church is to be faithful to God’s Word, to love God, and then to love people. Village Church is a church where real community takes place. It is our goal that the services be an exciting time you will look forward to every week. Come and enjoy the company of brothers and sisters as you grow together through genuine fellowship, participate in corporate worship, and engage scripture through powerful messages.

Sunday Service

You’ll hear the gospel presented in astounding new ways through our worship services, messages, and fellowship with other believers.

We invite first time guests to watch the short video below for a preview of what to expect Sunday morning at Village Church.

Where do I take my children?

Village Kids meets in the Student Center, which is located next to the Worship Center, during the worship service. You can enter the Student Center from the front entrance or through the main lobby in the Sanctuary. Someone at the Village Church tent can also assist you and get you where you need to go. If you have any questions, look for someone in a Village Church shirt, and they will assist you.

Where do I park?
