Our Calling
Vision
At Vernon Family Church, we are becoming a Christ-centered family where everyone belongs. From the moment you walk through our doors, you are welcomed into a community that worships God passionately, loves one another deeply, and serves our neighbours generously. We desire to be a shining light in Vernon, sharing the hope of Jesus through prayer, hospitality, meaningful relationships, and practical acts of love.
Mission
To grow as the family of Christ through prayer, worship, and discipleship, while reaching our community with the love of Jesus. We are committed to loving God, loving our neighbours, and creating spaces where people can connect, belong, and encounter Christ — whether around a table, at a community event, or gathered together in worship.
New Here

Our Pastors
Lead Pastor
For more than a decade, Cliff and Connie have pastored in Vernon with warmth, humor, and a steady devotion to Scripture. Their door and their kitchen table are always open.
Together they lead a community that takes faith seriously without taking itself too seriously: where questions are welcome, kids are celebrated, and every guest is a neighbor.
Cliff and Connie have been in full-time ministry for over 30 years and at Vernon Family Church for over 3 years. They have a passion to see churches revitalized to become authentic followers of Jesus Christ. Both Cliff and Connie humbly and joyfully call the church to follow them as they follow Christ.
"You don't have to have it all together to walk through our doors. You just have to walk through them."

Life at Vernon
Worship on Sunday is just the beginning. The rest of the week is where it really takes root — over coffee, in living rooms, around the lake.
