The much-anticipated thirtieth anniversary of our church's founding is this Sunday, April 30! Be our guest for a huge, churchwide celebration and picnic that begins with the 10:30 am worship service. Everyone in the Coppell and Valley Ranch communities is cordially invited to attend, so invite a guest to come along with you and join the festivities!

30 YEARS. 30 SERVES. 30 STORIES.
Throughout the month of April, we have been celebrating THIRTY years of God's faithfulness and thousands of lives changed by telling THIRTY stories of life transformation and by participating in more than THIRTY acts of service in Valley Ranch, Coppell, and surrounding communities.  Read our stories at vrbc.net/30for30 .
NEW SERMON SERIES CONTINUES THIS SUNDAY
PARABLES: DOORWAYS TO A NEW DIMENSION
 
Jesus was a master storyteller. The stories He told not only held His audience's attention, they also captured their imagination. These stories, or parables as they are often called, offer glimpses into a different reality--a new dimension where people can find a life filled with purpose and meaning. 

Join us this Sunday at 10:30 am as we go through the doorway of the Parable of the Great Banquet and explore Jesus' story together!
