Major Initiatives
Easter Eggstravaganza
Spring Outreach Initiative
Our church believes that one of the best ways you can show love to a community is to show love to their kids. Our Easter Eggstravaganza is a massive egg hunt for the Bartlett community, where thousands of people come each year to gather eggs, play games, get their faces painted, bounce in bouncy houses, and just have some fun together! Even though the Eggstravaganza couldn’t take place the last two years, we continued its spirit through our You Got Egged initiative!
Thanksgiving Food Drive
Fall Outreach Initiative
Each year, we partner with our local Jewl-Osco to provide Thanksgiving meals to hundreds of families in our community that otherwise wouldn’t be able to enjoy them. This truly takes a village between asking for donations at Jewel, gathering and sorting all the food, and raising enough dollars to ensure each request we receive can be provided a delicious turkey dinner.
Christmas Gift Drive
Winter Outreach Initiative
At Christmastime, our church family shops for children whose wish lists include toys, clothes, games, and more. We love to surprise these kiddos with these gifts, and share the greatest gift of all with them by telling them of the birth of our Savior!
BC3 (Formerly BCCI)
Bartlett Community Care Collective (BC3) is a collaborative effort between Village Church of Bartlett and the Bartlett Police Department. This initiative was created to equip officers, at their discretion, with the community resources available to them to serve with care and protect with confidence.
