ADMINISTER JUSTICE

If you have a heart for justice to help vulnerable people in the community, you can help in the VBC legal aid ministry with your administrative skills, prayer, sharing the Gospel, and providing hospitality, encouragement, and support. Contact Kevin Drendel (630-363-5437) about getting involved.

If you have a legal issue or know anyone who needs legal help, you can call (855) 818-4554 or schedule an appointment using the button below. 

 The VBC legal clinic is supported by Administer Justice, a national, faith-based legal aid ministry that provides the help of a lawyer and the hope of God's love through the local church.

GRIEFSHARE

Find hope and healing after the death of a loved one.

GriefShare is a 13-week session, Christ-centered grief support group program. Each session, we meet for about 2 hours with others who are grieving the loss of someone close. The amount of time since the loss is not a factor. Comfort, healing, and hope are available to anyone who is grieving the loss of a loved one.

LifeWise works with public schools to integrate a Bible class into students' weekly class schedules. The LifeWise plug-and-play model is flexible so that any community can offer Bible education to their public school students during school hours.

WAYSIDE CROSS MINISTRIES

Wayside Cross Ministries is a Bible-based, Christ-centered shelter and recovery center. Their ministries are dedicated to helping the homeless, addicted, abused, at-risk, and imprisoned experience the transformational hope of Jesus Christ.

WORLD RELIEF

Across the globe, crises rage. In the U.S., families that have fled war and persecution live in fear — fear of separation, homelessness, hunger, and of being sent back to the very situations they fled.

Internationally, suffering continues in hotspots of displacement like Sudan and Gaza. These violent storms of crisis after crisis are impossible to ignore. And yet — we hold onto hope anchored in faith.

Together with you, World Relief is boldly responding, inspired by the audacious belief that human flourishing is possible — even in the midst of devastation.

OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD

Samaritan’s Purse sends gift-filled Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes to children in need around the world, together with the message of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

VILLAGE PRISON MINISTRY

At Village Bible Church, we are delighted to carry out God’s will for the church as expressed in Hebrews 13:3: “Remember those who are in prison, as though in prison with them, and those who are mistreated, since you also are in the body.”

Throughout the Bible, God has glorified Himself through the lives of those who were incarcerated—Joseph in Genesis, the Apostle Paul in the New Testament, and even our Lord Jesus, who was arrested, tried, and crucified. We believe that God is still at work in the very same way today. Through this ministry, we have seen that God is still transforming lives behind bars and using those who have been transformed to further His kingdom.
