Groups
Get Plugged In
You weren't meant to do life alone. At VBF, Groups is where you'll find community beyond Sunday Mornings, with monthly gatherings, classes, activities, and the support you need for the hard seasons.
Why Groups Matter at VBF
Groups are about building meaningful connections with one another and growing closer to God. At VBF, we believe life is better together. When you get connected with others, your faith begins to move beyond Sunday and become part of your everyday life.
It is where you pray with someone walking through a difficult season, encourage one another, serve together, and build relationships centered on Jesus. This is where community is built, and spiritual growth happens.
Groups at VBF are more than just small groups. They represent the many ways you can connect, build relationships, grow in your faith, and find your place in the VBF family.

Life Groups
Life Groups are where the church gets small. Meeting weekly or monthly — in homes and on campus — these groups are built around real friendships, shared meals, honest conversation, and growing in faith together.
Support Groups
Some chapters of life need deeper support. Celebrate Recovery, Grief Share, and Set Free are groups for walking through addiction, loss, and the hard stuff — with people who get it and a God who meets you there.
Classes & Short Term Studies
Our classes and short-term studies give you a chance to focus on one area and connect with others for a season. Through opportunities like Financial Peace, you can gain practical tools, build healthy habits, and discover biblical wisdom for everyday life.
Built for Every Season of Life
Whatever chapter you're in, there are people here walking it with you.
