From the inception of our fellowship, over ten years ago, the leadership team of VCF Hood River has carried a desire to see the members of the body ministered to and through on a mid-weekly basis, as well as at each Sunday morning service.

Meeting in homes scattered throughout the Columbia Gorge region has provided a time for encouragement, prayer, worship, bearing one another’s burdens and waiting together before the Lord.

Our church family has embraced this commitment and as new people come to VCF and “try it on” as a church home, attending home group is a vital way they can experience fellowship and the shared pursuit of imitating the life of Christ, VCF-style. Presently, groups begin meeting in September of each year and go through mid-June. The New Testament record in Acts and the Epistles of the early Church meeting in homes to mutually build one another up in “[their] most holy faith” is our simple and ancient model for this practice.
