Village Soul is a missions-oriented ministry that assists the local church in developing vibrant faith communities that are seeking to know and follow Jesus by integrating spiritual encounter, personal growth, authentic relationships, and outreach into every aspect of their daily lives.
Village: A small group of dwellings usually ranking in size between a hamlet and a town.
Soul: A central or integral part of something; the vital core.
Even in the smallest town or township there can be multiple “villages” or pocket communities that display their own set of characteristics or soul. Sometimes there is a need to build a bridge to connect a local church with the soul of each pocket community, to bring the fullness of the Gospel into a context that will speak to the soul of each “village.” Often people in these communities live on the fringe of society and will not be inclined to enter a church without someone to guide the way.
With our rapidly changing culture, there is also a need for flexibility in developing structures that will be effective in reaching these communities, while being faithful to the core teachings of Jesus. Village Soul exists to assist the local church in building bridges to pockets of the community that they have not reached into before. Our ultimate mission is to help those seeking spiritual encounter to connect with the true and living God through faith in Jesus Christ by the revelation of the Holy Spirit and the witness of the followers of Christ whose vintage faith is set forth in the Scriptures.
