"Pursuing Kingdom Growth"
The VEF has a long and profound history, but we'll try not to bore you with the details (unless that's really what you want).
This is where you'll find more information about where we came from, who we are, and where we are going.
The Virginia Evangelizing Fellowship is a non-profit organization with one specific goal in mind: to "Pursue Kingdom Growth". Established in 1938, the way in which the VEF accomplishes this mission statement is always changing, but the thing that never changes is an unceasing desire to bring the lost to Christ.
The VEF offers resources to improve leadership and develop community among congregations. The directors of VEF work directly with preachers, associate ministers, worship leaders, and church planters, providing them with opportunities for accountability, leadership growth, learning, and peer-to-peer contact.
The VEF offers many resources at little to no charge to churches. If you have questions about any of these services, please visit our Serving Churches page.
The VEF is also heavily involved in church planting: Everything from finding talented inviduals, helping secure locations, and funding new projects with great potential. To learn more, visit our Planting Churches page.
