Why this is listed

Surfaced through The Village Church (Dallas–Fort Worth, TX), a vetted partner church, during Grain’s city-by-city review. Still to be confirmed: EIN and Form 990, tradition, and doctrinal statement.

How to start

  1. Open thevillagechurch.net (opens an external site) and read what The Village Church says about itself before you read anything else.
  2. Check the time it asks for: one-off.
  3. Look at the filings below, then decide. Numbers are context, not a verdict.
  4. Tell your church. Going out is rarely meant to be done alone.

    Regent College — Graduate Diploma in Christian Studies

    Regent College

    A flexible graduate diploma in Vancouver where you choose half your own courses and take as long as you need. Its founding concern is theology for people who will stay in ordinary work, so the reading keeps returning to vocation, craft, and the shape of a working week.
