Loving people and making disciples of Jesus Christ in our local community

Outreach Training Serve this Summer

The Village Church firmly believes that God has called us to fulfill the Great Commission: "Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you." — Matthew 28:19


With this in mind, we’re asking: Who's your one? Who is the one person you can pray for, reach out to, and engage with in response to this calling? Join us in prayer—for our church, our community, and the nations—as we seek God’s direction. Below, you’ll find several ways to get involved. We’ve also partnered with our Global Missions team to offer on-demand Outreach Training, available below.

How to get involved with Local Missions

Outreach Training is a 12-week class that equips the saints to be empowered to proclaim the gospel and make disciples with confidence and competence within the spheres the Lord has placed them in. The secret sauce of Outreach Training is that we rotate each week between the classroom and out in our community. One week we learn what is true and the following week we apply alongside an experienced leader. Register here.

Are you unable to join us in person? We would love to invite you to view our on demand tutorials below:

  • Care through Prayer: How we love our neighbors, start spiritual conversations, and understand the needs of those around us.
  • 15 Second Testimony: Identifying us as followers of Jesus, sharing how the gospel has transformed our lives, and opened the door for a spiritual conversation.
  • 3 Circles: A simple, clear, and conversational way to share the gospel with anyone, anywhere, helping people see their need for Jesus and how He restores what is broken.
  • Discovery Bible Study: A simple, reproducible method that helps people encounter God through His Word, using guided questions to understand, obey, and share, whether for evangelism or discipleship.

We believe that God hears and answers the prayers of His people. He uses our prayers to advance His kingdom. We are committed to praying that the gospel would accelerate through our own church’s efforts and our partnerships around the world (2 Thess. 3:1). We gather throughout each week corporately to intercede on behalf of our members, our leaders, our city, and our missionary partners serving around the world. Learn more about some of our scheduled prayer times and our philosophy behind our Prayer ministry.

Praying at home? Use our Prayer Hour Wheel (available in English and Spanish) to guide your time in prayer.

We are driven by a commitment to address the vital issues impacting our community. We focus on ensuring the well-being of our children, addressing food insecurity, restoring families, combating human trafficking, and restoring dignity to those who are most vulnerable.

Join us as we come together with local organizations to develop and implement solutions to these complex challenges. By partnering with us, you can contribute to creating a supportive environment where every individual and family can thrive. Explore how your involvement can drive change and make a significant impact on our community.

Are you a part of the TVC family and have an organization in Southern Denton County on your heart that you think we'd like to know about? We invite you to share about that organization with us through the form below! While we can't respond to every nomination, we will document each one and keep them under consideration as we grow our network of area ministries.

The Cothran Local Missions Youth Leadership Scholarship awards $2,500 to one male and one female graduating senior at The Village Church who embody the heart of Christ through community service.
