We are excited to offer a Taste of Alpha this summer! Each fall we hold a full Alpha course where we explore some of life’s biggest questions. But on August 2 OR on August 16 you are invited to join us to get a feel for what Alpha is like. No matter who you are or what you believe, there’s a seat at the Alpha table. Come experience a Taste of Alpha so that you can see for yourself what Alpha is all about and what you would be inviting others into this Fall at VHC when we hold our complete Alpha course.

Let's show God's Love in Action.....

We are seeing a need to have a team of people who are willing to be "on call" to support people who are trying to "make it" on their own. The church family is a GREAT place to find caring people who want to follow the call of Jesus to have mercy on our neighbor (Luke 10:25-37), especially the stranger, poor, widow and orphan. This may include making a meal, helping them run errands, driving them to work and taking them home, etc. This is an opportunity to cultivate communities that live out the life-changing hope of Jesus. Please prayerfully consider how you and/or your family may be involved. Email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..

God is doing amazing things in our youth! Looking for male and female volunteers to join us but especially males. Please contact This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. to discuss if interested in learning more

Supporting at-risk families in crisis through Biblical hospitality in coordination with our local My Village Ministries leadership.

My Village Ministries equips churches like ours to facilitate gospel-centered family preservation.

• To provide family support and stabilization.
• To prevent childhood abuse and neglect.
• To prevent unnecessary foster care placements.
• To prevent, reduce, and repair childhood trauma.
• To provide holistic care.

 We’re looking to build our Valley Hope team so that we can best serve the needs in our area.  Our team will be ministering to families (many of which are single moms) in need of additional support to adequately care for their children (short term and longer term) that are vetted by the My Village Asheville team and assigned to / received by our team based on fit.

• Families in our local community.
• Ladies enrolled in the Hope for Tomorrow program in Black Mountain, part of the Swannanoa Valley Christian Ministry. We’ll be working with the team from Christ Community to serve the families in this program.

What are the roles in the team? Host Family, Community Coach, Community Friend, & Community Care work together to care for families and support each other in a sustainable way.

Who’s a good fit for serving in the roles? Families with a heart for foster care or adoption, empty nesters, families with the gift of hospitality as well as people who want to help families, parents, or kids in need or just be a friend to them. Some of the needs involve taking meals, driving people, and providing a few hours of childcare. We’ll work with potential host families to identify what children they’re a good fit for (age range, gender).

Potentially interested in serving? Let one of Valley Hope’s Ministry Lead know: Stephen This email address is being protected from spambots.
