Welcome to VBC

Our name sums up exactly what we want to be; a family of believers who hold fast to the Bible and are about Jesus Christ. In an ever changing world it’s becoming more and more important to find a gospel-centered, Christ focused church. We want to be about the things that God is about: His glory, His word and His people. If you’ve got any questions we would love to spend some time answering them. Please don’t hesitate to contact our church office and we would be glad to serve you the best way we can.

WHAT TO EXPECT

We are excited that you are interested in learning more about our church. For starters, our goal at Village Bible Church is to be a church family who loves God above all else, loves one another, and loves to declare His glory in all that we do. We all know what it’s like to find a church, whether it’s for the first time, or because of a new season of life. Honestly, visiting churches can feel strange, lonely, and even scary. Therefore, it might help you to know that we don’t really have any expectations. Our hope is to have the privilege of meeting you and helping you get connected with a local church.


Our Sunday morning gatherings are the highlight of our week. It’s during these gatherings where we see the church worshiping God, being built up and encouraged, as well as seeing the work of the Holy Spirit manifested in the lives of the people here. Even though we are in Hot Springs Village and most of us here are retired, we value having a multigenerational church – so it’s not uncommon to see some children and youth worshiping with their parents – in fact, we encourage it! Our Sunday morning attendance is around 300-400 people. Dress trends are more casual, though you can find anything from jeans to suits.


Below are a few questions we hope to answer for you so you’ll know what to expect:

  • We are located at:
    100 Ponderosa Way, Hot Springs Village, AR 71909

    Our Sunday Schedule
    Worship Service | 9:15-10:15 am
    Sunday Bible Study | 10:30-11:30 am

  • If you live outside the gate and want to visit Village Bible Church, give us a call at 501-922-0404 during the week 8:00 - 4:00 M-Th and we will make sure you can get through the gate.

  • A heartfelt greeting is part of what makes a church a church. No matter what question you might have just ask. Our greeters and ushers are there to help you get settled and comfortable.

    If you are a first time visitor, we have a gift for you. You can expect to receive a bag with valuable information and some goodies too.

  • Expect to be noticed. Expect people to say something like, “Hi, we haven’t met before, is this your first time?” Expect for people to reach out to you in love.

  • The music we sing is a mix of the rich hymns of the past and the encouraging worship songs of today. More than anything, we desire and encourage congregational singing that is accompanied by our worship teams. We intentionally include times of reading scripture, prayer, or reflections that are done corporately. We also practice the ordinances of communion and baptism that are primarily observed at our Lord’s Supper Service that takes place during the first Sunday of every month.

  • The Bible tells us to speak the truth in love. The Bible is God’s truth. At Village Bible Church we seek to explore, understand, and apply God’s truth to our lives at every level in a spirit of love. You will find a growing variety of resources to help you grow in God’s truth.

  • We encourage children in our services. We also have a parlor room (access is in our lobby with a view ) for families with infants where they can view and hear our worship services. We also have kids classes and nursery available during our Bible Study hour to allow parents the ability to attend the variety of classes offered.

  • No. But to be honest, our greatest hope is that you become one. It is our joy and promise to let you know the truth of what the Bible says and to let you know who Jesus is and why we call Him our Lord and Savior.

  • While visiting a church is a unique and individual experience. Depending upon your background you either know the drill, have no idea what’s going on or are somewhere in between. Wherever you are on this spectrum, here are some tips to make sure you give any church a fair shake.

    Attend At Least 3 Services

    You may be here on a Sunday that is fantastic or a Sunday where something – the preaching, the music, the air-conditioning, or (please no) the refreshments are just…off. Either way a church is much more than any single Sunday, so visit at least three Sundays to get a good sense of what the church is all about.

    Helpful tips:

    Come early and stay late at least once. You can learn just as much about a church before and after the service as you can during the service.

    Pick a new place to sit each week. This way you get a better sense of the people at the church.

    Spend five minutes and look through the bulletin.

    Engage In Significant Ways

    Any church is so much more than what you see on a Sunday morning. Get a fuller perspective by doing at least three of the suggestions below:

    Talk to one of the pastors/elders to get a sense of the vision/direction and theology of the church.

    Visit a community group or meet with at least one regular attender to get a sense what life is like in this church body.
