Village Baptist Church supports the community through several initiatives.
Its Handy Man Ministry helps with home repairs or projects for seniors, widows
and people with personal handicaps. A van ministry shuttles soldiers from the
barracks on Fort Bragg to the Reilly Road campus for dinner and worship. The
church also welcomes soldiers returning to Fort Bragg after deployments.
Through the Ben Martin Elementary School partnership, church members
can help with test proctoring, the backpack buddies program to supply
children with food to get through the weekend, teacher appreciation
luncheons, school supply collections, a giving tree at Christmas for low-income
families and other things the school might need.
There are other churchwide initiatives for disaster relief and food distribution.
The church also has "life groups'' outside the overall church initiatives that
allow smaller sections of the membership to concentrate on core areas. Those
groups work with the Odum Children's Home in Pembroke, serve breakfast at
Operation Inasmuch, supply new moms with baby shower gifts at the Agape
Pregnancy Center, collect goodies for food baskets donated to the Beatitude
House in Spring Lake and bring food with handwritten notes for the City Bus
Driver ministry. They also sponsor international students who are unable to
travel home and the students at Garber Hall at Methodist University, providing
care packages, holiday meals, snacks and energy drinks during finals.
