Join us for our Village Kickoff to meet families in your area, hear what Villages are all about, and discover how we can encourage one another as we follow Jesus and grow in faith and parenting together. This year, we’re introducing a new way for families to join a Village. Instead of being assigned to a Village, families will have the opportunity to choose and sign up for a Village based on the region and community that best fits their family. Come hear about the updates, learn more about the Villages in your area, and get ready to find your Village!
