Baptism Team

Multiple baptisms happen each week. A baptism assistant will greet people when they come to get baptized, process their information, and help them find clothing as they prepare to get baptized. Once completed, you get the opportunity to hand them a towel and celebrate with them. Finally, you will get to help them light a bulb on the cross and connect them to their next step. This ministry is at the heart of the church and this is a very special opportunity!

Connections Team

Sometimes getting people in the door is the easy part. Getting them to come back and connect is a bit more difficult. Our hope is that every person that visits receives a phone call from someone at the church. Would you consider making a few phone calls each week and connecting with people new to VRL? Engaging others is critical, and you can even do it from your home! VRL is a relational church and this first impression is key.
