75 Years of God's Faithful Provision

In 1949, Rev. Phil Gibson's spirit-led vision for a Christ-centered education set a course that has impacted generations of families at Village Christian School.

For 75 years, God has faithfully used parents, alumni, and friends to provide for and protect the VCS community. Now, as we celebrate our diamond anniversary, we eagerly anticipate the Lord's provision amidst our most ambitious fundraising effort to date.

Village has always been bold in its pursuit of God's plan, beginning with the launch of a school out of Village Church in Burbank and the first “Loyalty Dinner” in 1957 to raise funds for the Sun Valley property purchase.

Through it all, the Lord made a way.

The Anniversary Campaign will take all of us coming together to support our students in powerful and sacrificial ways over the next five years. As missionary William Carey's words read in the Village Church sanctuary and in the school's chapel, “Expect great things from God. Attempt great things for God.”

Thank you for being part of His plan for VCS as we faithfully embark on THE NEXT 75 years.

THE NEXT 75 Anniversary Campaign aims to raise $10 million across seven core initiatives that will benefit every corner of the Village Christian community, headlined by a brand-new gymnasium/multipurpose event center.

PRIMARY CAMPAIGN INITIATIVE | NEW UPPER FIELD GYMNASIUM

This new showpiece gymnasium/multipurpose facility is the first major campus addition of its kind in decades and will be built on the current softball field behind the weight room.

The new building will feature athletics facilities, office space, an athletic training room, and more, giving our thriving programs room to grow, while alleviating scheduling burdens in the Kendall Pavilion and providing an additional invaluable location for community events and gatherings.

NOTE: Renderings and blueprints are subject to change.
