Our PURPOSE is to reflect God's presence in our community during our generation, to demonstrate His Love daily, and adhere to His Word in practice and praise.
2. MISSION: What is VPCOG's mission?
Vernon Park Church of God is committed to loving God, loving others, and serving others.
3. DIFFERENCE: What makes VPCOG different from other churches in your community?
Vernon Park Church of God brings a unique blend of historical legacy to the Lynwood community. VPCOG has more than a 67-year historical track record that includes local, national and international impact of spreading the gospel. From the early 50's, VP has shared the love of God to residents of Chicago's south-side. The church's contribution to the Civil Rights Movement as well as the fight for Women's rights throughout the 60's has continued throughout the decades. And today's version of VPCOG combines that legacy with a new vision of holistic ministry and community development.
