WEDNESDAY NIGHTS

What are Wednesday Nights at Village?

On Wednesday nights, we’re not Village Church of Gurnee.
We are Village Church FOR Gurnee! Wednesday Nights at Village are for our community - for people young and old…and anywhere in between.

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

Look a below at what is offered and invite a friend. If you are interested in serving or have questions, contact Pastor Brandon - brandon.smith@vcgurnee.org or x181.

Our Wednesday night kids ministry is called KIDS JAM and meets on Wednesday nights, too. Click here for more details and a link to register.

  • Sexual Integrity 101

    September 24-November 19
    6:30-8:00pm

    If you want to experience greater freedom from unwanted sexual behaviors, or freedom from the effects of betrayal from others’ behaviors, then we encourage you to join this class. You are not alone in your situation. In this grace-filled class, we will learn what the Bible and brain science says about making lasting change and restoring trust in relationships. This class is here to introduce you to the process. 

    We trust that God will transform our minds, hearts, souls and relationships when we draw near to him. God can change anyone’s life - you're never beyond his loving, powerful reach.

  • Outreach Prayer Group

    First Wednesday of each month
    Oct 1, Nov 5, Dec 3
    6:30-8:00pm

    Do you have a heart for seeing people experience God’s love through all we say and do? Each month, we’ll gather to pray very specifically for people who aren’t yet Christians...even as we pray that God would give us a greater burden for spiritually-lost people. We’ll also pray for our community, our global outreach partners, and more!

  • Outreach for Ordinary People

    Second Wednesday of each month
    Oct 8, Nov 12, Dec 10
    6:30-8:00pm

    This once-a-month group will take a highly-relational, highly-practical approach to helping you “be God’s strategy” in sharing Jesus with the people you know. We’ll be blessed to learn from Wayne & Ollie’s decades of experience in sharing the gospel with people, and equipping others to do the same. Evangelism isn’t just for a select group of super-Christians...it’s for every Christian, and it’s for everyday Christians!
