Local Mission

Food Pantry
There is a small food pantry located in the foyer of SVCC that is regularly stocked by our faith family. Anyone is welcome to bring food or take food as needed. This also helps us meet the needs of many people who drop in during the week seeking assistance. If you’d like more info on the Food Pantry please contact Joni Ford.

Benevolence
There are always needs being brought to the attention of the SVCC leadership, both from within our body and from outside of it. The Mission and Mercy team works very hard to assess these needs and help out of our benevolence fund as much as possible. If you need to contact SVCC about Benevolence matters you can contact Matt Theus.

Groceries for GreenSprings Sunday
A few times a year we cut our Sunday morning service short and our entire church family goes to various grocery stores in our area. Why? In order to help stock the GreenSprings food pantry! GreenSprings is a wonderful local ministry and we partner with them in their hunger relief efforts.

Global Mission

We desire to see God’s worshipped among all peoples and so we begin by praying for all peoples. SVCC has developed personal, ongoing relationships within two countries for the furtherance of the Gospel: Haiti and Poland. We continue to pray for these countries and specific information is provided below to help guide your prayers for these nations.

Haiti

  • The “Christianity” Haitians have been exposed to, has often been mixed with voodooism. Pray for clarity.

  • Pray for the desperate physical/social needs: agriculture, healthcare, AIDS, education, etc.

  • Pray for SVCC leadership as a plan is developed concerning the future of our relationship with Haiti.

Poland

  • Poland statehood can scarcely be distinguished from membership in the Catholic church. Everyone is “Christian,” but no one knows the grace of Jesus. Pray the gospel would penetrate the spiritual darkness.

  • Pray the Polish quest for material advancement might be subordinated to their search for God.

  • Pray for Greg and Erin Skrobarcyk, who serve as resident missionaries in Poland.

More Missionaries
We purposefully try to raise up long-term foreign missionaries from within our own faith family. Some of these are full-time missionaries in the traditional sense and others have taken jobs overseas in a more “tent-making” model. Please pray for the following SVCC missionaries as the Lord leads:

Greg and Erin Skrobarczyk – Poland
Josh & Meg McClung - Poland
John and Samantha Hudson – Montana
Ross and Lane Lackey – Montana
Paul and Jocelyn Neville – Birmingham
Beau and Ashley Armistead – Birmingham Susie Triplett – Asia

We believe that God has called us all to “go” with the gospel and to intentionally live our lives to make disciples among all peoples. We are on mission, beginning in our back yard and extending to the ends of the earth. Even if we are never able to personally able to take the gospel to unreached peoples, we faithfully make disciples where we are praying that God will use those efforts to the ends of the earth.

SVCC seeks to build intentional, long-term relationships with specific countries based on physical and spiritual need. We also desire to preach the name of Christ where is has not yet been made known.  Currently, we have an established relationship with ministries in Bombardopolis, Haiti, and Battambang Cambodia.
