Ways to Serve


We believe God has called his church to "seek the good of the city." (Jer. 29) To be apart of helping it flourish. Thats why we started Inklings, to be a place for connection and community. We also believe Inklings is a place for the church to come together with the community. We host events and meetings through out the year to connect with people from our community and demonstrate the love and hospitality of Jesus. We have a variety of ways to serve at Inklings and the best way to get connected is by signing up for our City Renewal Team.


Looking for a way to make a long-term impact in the community? Join our brand-new free tutoring ministry with the City Renewal team. Our mission: Partner in the Tri-Valley to create safe learning spaces for the next generation, fostering academic success with compassion, expertise, and support. All with a heart for long-term gospel ministry.

We will offer personalized tutoring, subject expertise, homework help, test prep, and a supportive environment. Email Pastor Joe with any questions or sign up to help!


Monthly Miracles is a Tri-Valley homeless ministry whose mission is to save our neighbors from homelessness. Come join us and the Monthly Miracles team on Friday mornings 9-11AM, and offer help with greeting clients, assisting in the intake process, typing up notes, or praying over clients!

FOSTER CARE AWARENESS MONTH | MAY 2024

May is Foster Care Awareness Month.

It's a sobering reality that more children enter foster care than there are families available to care for them. Statistics paint a grim picture, showing that over half of domestically recovered child sex trafficking victims come from foster care backgrounds, and youth in foster care are twice as likely to develop Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder.

We've united with churches across California and Foster the City not just to raise awareness but also to invite you to join us in prayer. Together, seeking our Heavenly Father to raise up foster families within VCC and raise up Support Friends.

Will you join us in prayer throughout May, asking God to raise up at least one foster family within VCC? You can also utilize our daily prayer guide to lead you through your time of intercession. Check out the missions table in the lobby ALL MONTH IN MAY for more information.
