Affiliation

Village Church is affiliated with the Evangelical Free Church of America.  An association of some 2000 self-governing churches, united by a mutual commitment to share the love of Jesus Christ with a lost and hurting world.

History

Village Church began in 1975 when 12 families attending Family Camp at Camp Shamineau expressed an interest in meeting for Bible study and worship in the Loretto area.  Sunday evening services began in a rented one-room schoolhouse on County Road 11 that fall.  Our current building was built in 1980 with an education and office addition added in 1989.

Since that time, Village Church has grown in membership and ministries to encompass Men, Women, Youth and Children’s ministries with staff and volunteers working together to lead them.
