Our Partners
At Varsity, our desire is to support and build relationships with a small number of faith-based ministries and the communities they serve. The Bible provides the foundation for missions at VBC: preach the Good news, follow Christ’s example (teach, preach, and heal), seek the good of the city, show mercy and justice for the oppressed, and understand that we are sent to the whole world (Matthew 4:23, Matthew 9:36 Jeremiah 29:7, Isaiah 58:6-11, Mark 16:15).
Camp Chestermere
Located just outside Calgary, Camp Chestermere has been a vital part of our community for 60 years, providing a venue for recreational, spiritual and social interaction for kids. VBC has partnered with Camp Chestermere for over 30 years as a supporting church, sending many of our kids, youth, and young adults there to mentor and be mentored and have a fabulous time!

Navigators
Rick McCallum

VBC is a supporting church of Rick McCallum and the Navigators ministry at the University of Calgary. We desire to help the U of C Navigators pursue their goal to "radically pursue being disciples of Jesus and making disciples for Christ's Kingdom!"

Partners in Deed
(El Camino Church)
​In 2003, VBC sent out a missions team to explore opportunities for a church-to-church partnership in the Dominican Republic. The VBC team felt a strong connection with the work of El Camino church (part of the TEARS Ministry) which ministers in the Maria Auxiliadora barrio.​
VBC partners with with El Camino church and TEARS ministry, through the Partners in Deed charity, with a focus is on improving the lives of impoverished youth, primarily in the areas of health and education. We are committed to ensuring our projects are focused on community development, honour the expertise and strengths of the community, and are locally-led.
