Venture Church Network Vlogs
Every few weeks, you'll be seeing a vlog (video blog) done by one of your Venture Church Network family members. They may be a pastor, director, or sometimes me, David. You'll recognize some and get to know ones you haven't met yet. I'm kicking off our first one and am excited to see the rest!
Network Vlog-Stepping Alongside Our Sister Churches
Pastor Steve Engram, Director of VCN Southwest
We're focusing on our last core value, but certainly not our least: relationally committed. Our southwest director, Steve Engram, was on staff at Palmcroft Church when their sister church in the VCN network, Desert Springs Community Church, reached out for help. Listen to Steve's story about how Palmcroft stepped in and how he eventually came to pastor Desert Springs.
Network Vlog-Do Believers Need the Gospel?
The danger of looking at the gospel as just the doorway to heaven and a message we only proclaim to nonbelievers is that it convinces us we don’t need the gospel on a daily basis.
Pastor Brad Little, Regional Executive Director VCNMidwest Network Vlog-The Unchanging Word of God
Being a part of the Venture Church Network means your church is committed to being biblically focused. Our churches preach the Bible, live our lives according to the Bible, and hang on to the Bible that gives us hope and assurance for the future.
Pastor Jim Smith, Director of Pacific Church Network Network Vlog-Making Disciples vs Attendees
In Kyle Idleman’s book, “Not a Fan,” there’s a part where Kyle speaks to a father whose daughter had left the faith. The father says to him, “My wife and I were diligent in raising her in church. But we were not in raising her in Jesus.”
