MVF is excited to present this year's Christmas Service in a different way...join us for the joy...and fun this Christmas Eve-Eve! The Christmas Experience is Monday, December 23 from 4:30-7:30pm and is Open-House style, so you can come and go any time during those hours. We've got things for young and old alike: Dickens Christmas Carolers, Smores around a fire pit, a Petting Zoo, Arts and Crafts, Drama, Warm Drinks, a photo booth, and even dinner if you'd like. We hope you spend part of your evening with us the night before the night before Christmas.

Retreat Information

Rest...what an elusive concept! Join us at a women's retreat and learn exactly what rest is, what it isn't, and what God says about it.

Here are the details:

It's February 28-March 2 at the Embassy Suites Hotel & Conference Center in beautiful Loveland, CO. There is a $100 registration fee (MVF's fee) that covers the cost of the retreat, materials, and lunch on Saturday. Rooms are purchased on your own-just let the booking agent know you're with the MVF women's retreat and you'll get our special rate. If you team up with 1, 2, or 3 more people to share a room and split the cost, the room rates drop dramatically! Room rates are $139-$169 per night. Oh, and a not-cooked-by-you breakfast buffet is included in your room rate! The rooms have teeny little kitchens with microwaves and small refrigerators, so you could even save money by bringing some of your own food!

Looking for a healthy way to kick off 2025? Join us for the 2nd Annual First Run 5K and 1 Mile Walk on the MVF Property! Check-in time is at 1:30pm and the run kicks off at 2pm. This year's event is free and walk-ins are welcome, but we'd appreciate you signing up if you know you're coming. You'll get a cool sticker for participating and a free beanie on a first-come first served basis until they run out. You can sign up above.

God is moving at MVF! If you're looking for an opportunity to have an impact in the Kingdom of God, there's no better way than to join in on what God is already doing. At MVF, we have the honor of launching the Hope Renewed Counseling Center, a Hispanic service and ministry, and soon...a campus church in Limon, CO. You can join in expanding God's kingdom with your year-end giving that is over and above your regular tithe. Rest assured that this fund will be used to reach the next soul for Christ, whether it's in Limon, at our new Hispanic service, or getting the Hope Renewed House up and going for the counseling center. If you're giving via cash or check, simply write "Christmas Offering" on your check or envelope. If you're giving online, choose the "Christmas Offering" fund in the drop-down menu. We can't wait to see what God is going to do over the next few months...thanks for being part of it!  You can Give here. 

If you've been wondering what baptism is all about, we're offering two baptism classes before our upcoming Celebration Service where we'll be performing baptisms. The kid's class is Tuesday, January 7 at 6pm in the Balsam room. The teen/adult class is Thursday, January 9 at 7pm in our Cedar room. The class runs about 30 minutes, and there's no need to sign up... just show up!  If you decide you're ready to be baptized at the next Celebration Service (on January 12 at 7pm), you'll have a no-pressure option to sign up at the end of the class.  

You can sign up to be baptized HERE. 

Ladies, the second session of our Women’s First Samuel study begins Tuesday, January 7th at 6:30pm, and new attendees are welcome!

Join us Sunday, January 12 at 7pm at our next Celebration Service where we'll have a celebratory evening full of worship with the MVF Band and Immersion Baptisms.

Intentional parenting is a way to raise children to become healthy, independent young adults. It's based on solid principles which, applied over time, actually result in less-stressed parents and happier, better-adjusted, and more successful kids. Intentional parenting means you've got more than good intentions; you've got a plan. 

MVF's Intentional Parenting Study is a 6-session study that examines 10 ways to be an Exceptional Parent in a Quick-Fix World. We will offer two separate times to choose from: Sundays and Thursdays, and child care is offered for an additional fee. This study is meant for parents/grandparents that still have children at home. If you are a two-parent home, it's optimal for both parents to attend, but it is not required. Study materials are $20.

- The Sunday study begins January 12th and meets from 12-1:30 PM, running for 6 consecutive Sundays with the last session being 2/16.

- The Thursday study starts January 16th and runs from 9-10:30 AM. This study will be on an every other week rotation and take place on the days that MomCo does not meet (offering MomCo moms a chance to attend.) The dates of the 6 sessions are 1/16, 1/30, 2/13, 2/27, 3/13, and 3/27.)

You can register for either class HERE.
