EVENTS

We are launching into a new adventure at Village Church and it’s called…
Wednesday Nights at Village!

On Wednesday nights we’re not Village Church OF Gurnee…we are Village Church FOR Gurnee. This is a night with an outreach focused on our community…for all ages.

It’s simple, God loves our community and so, we do too.
