Welcome to Ventura Missionary Church...

 a church committed to introducing people to a growing relationship with Jesus Christ! (For more information on what this means or to view our statements of purpose and faith, please click here.)

This website has been designed to do two things:

First, we want to help you find information about Ventura Missionary Church and all of our ministries, which include a Preschool, K-8 Christian Day School, Counseling Center and a variety of ministries for children, youth, adults and seniors. I invite you to take a journey through our website and discover the wide array of opportunities available for people of all ages and walks of life.  We would love to have you join us on Sunday mornings.  To see our current sermon series, click here.

A second purpose for our website is to help you assess and grow in your personal relationship with Jesus Christ. George Barna, in his book, "Revolution," writes, "The hallmarks of the Church that Jesus died for are clear, based on Scripture: your profession of faith in Christ must be supported by a lifestyle that provides irrefutable evidence of your complete devotion to Jesus."

We want to help you become a fully devoted follower of Christ, which is why we designed a "Growing in Christ" portion on our website, which provides an assessment tool that will help you evaulate your personal relationship with Christ. Once you identify the areas you need to grow in, you can explore the large array of ideas, resources and ministry opportunities that can strengthen you in those areas. How are you and Jesus doing? How well are you living out your faith at home? How is your relationship with the Church? Are you being used by God to make a difference?

There you have it!  Welcome to the VMC website! May the Lord continue to bless you as you grow in your relationship with Him.

In Christ's Service,

Pastor Mark Holmen
