Prayer
In prayer we are raising up disciples of Christ who know His purposes and see His power.
At The Vail Church we believe that prayer is the way that we fellowship with God and also how He ministers to us. We want to model, teach, equip, and bring comfort to our church body in prayer and through prayer. We believe what James 5:16 teaches which says that the prayers of the righteous are powerful and effective and that when we confess and pray for one another that healing can begin. Jesus modeled for us the importance of prayer in times alone with the Father and also taught His disciples how to pray for those in need. We desire to live in this way as Jesus taught us.
Care
We abide in the love of Christ by extending His love and care to others.
We are called not only to love God, but to express that love by caring for others. When we pray for each other, bear one another’s burdens, spend time together, and walk with each other through the events of life, we demonstrate God’s love to the world. Here are some of the ways The Vail Church is committed to caring for people’s needs.
Hospitalizations
Know a member of The Vail Church who is in the hospital? Let us know how we can help.
Meals Ministry
At no cost to the recipient, The Meals Ministry team prepares and delivers meals to members of our church family who are recovering from medical issues, personal crisis, or loss, or have newborn infants.
Meal Coordinator should receive a 48 hour notice before starting that first meal and Meal Schedules usually last 1-2 weeks with one meal every OTHER day (exceptions can apply).

Shepherd Care is a mission of encouragement and companionship to struggling members of The Vail Church family.
