Nursery seeking volunteers: · Do you enjoy spending time with babies and toddlers? If so, we need YOU! The nursery numbers are increasing and once again we are in search of volunteers to help out. We have recently begun to schedule additional workers each week to accommodate the growing number of little ones! Ideally, volunteers will serve once every two months so we are adding to our number of volunteers to allow for this. We are also looking for a few individuals (or pairs) to clean the nursery toys. This can be done ANYTIME during the week you are scheduled and is typically a once per month rotation.

Student Ministry
Bring on the students! Our heart is to teach the Word, worship together, demonstrate and practice spiritual disciplines and connect relationally, knowing that who we ARE is just as important as knowing HOW to live. Along with our regular Wednesday night meetings, we are looking forward to some other activities as well, including the DISTRICTS Youth Conference, movie nights, a missions trip to Guatemala, and more.
If you are a student in middle school or high school and you want to go deeper in your faith and your friendships, join the CVBC Youth Group!
Please help share the word and invite teenagers to join us. Youth Group is open to all 6th - 12th grade students.
