Village Missions recruits, screens, hires, places and supports pastoral couples. These couples are charged with the task of strengthening struggling rural churches with the goal of ministering to the needs of the community-at-large, and establishing a healthy, self-supporting community church. This primary focus of Village Missions is time-tested and has remained essentially unchanged throughout the Missions' 50+ year history. Village Missions seeks to stem the tide of declining rural churches by collaborating with others who understand the difference that a church can make to a community.
