Support the Village

The buildings are maintained by volunteers and funded by community members like you.

Buy a brick

Honor a loved one or friend with an engraved brick in the Village Church walkway. Proceeds help maintain the church and the other buildings in the village. The engraving is deep and epoxy-filled to resist water and ice, so the bricks should last for generations.
