The Mission of Volunteers In Service (VIS) is to empower Christians to join Christ’s work in their community for the purpose of building God’s kingdom.

We believe...
God is at work every day redeeming and restoring people back to himself.

He invites us, the people of God, into this work alongside Him as the body of Christ, the literal hands and feet of Jesus! He invites us to join Him where He is already working in our local communities to SERVE our neighbors and witness His love as God’s kingdom is built one relationship at a time. 

Our Values...
At Volunteers In Service (VIS), when we are at our best, we…
  • S: Serve the one true God. We witness His love as we serve one another, the church, and our community.
  • E: Expect nothing in return. We serve unconditionally and with compassion because God first loved us.
  • R: Relate genuinely to others through love. We believe that opportunities to share the gospel and reflect the light of Jesus are best received within authentic relationships.
  • V: Value all people as made in God’s image.  Each person is created and loved by God. We meet everyone where they are and treat them with dignity and respect.
  • E: Empower and equip the church. We connect the people of God with opportunities to live out their faith by bringing God’s hope and love to their communities.
What We Do...
Connect volunteers from Christian churches and schools in Kent County, MI with opportunities to serve neighbors in their community who have been referred to VIS by over 75 social service agencies, non-profits, and health care organizations in the county.
