Valley Center Community Church

What Valley Center Community Church does

Valley Center Community Church (VCCC) is an independent, non-denominational evangelical Christian church founded in 1885 as Sherrard's Chapel and located at 29022 Cole Grade Road, Valley Center, California. It operates a multi-generational ministry portfolio centered on two Sunday worship gatherings (9:00 and 10:45 AM, in-person and livestreamed), supported by VCCC Kids (birth through 5th grade including nursery, Sunday School, and AWANA), the 1:16 Youth Ministry (Jr. High and High School), Women's Ministry, Men's Ministry, Adult Sunday School, Biblical Counseling, and Connections Groups (home-based small groups of 8-16 across Valley Center and Escondido). The church is led by six elders, five of whom serve as full-time pastors, with David Wojnicki as Lead Pastor, and is supported by office staff, deacons, and over 100 volunteers.

The church's technology stack is built on third-party SaaS rather than proprietary infrastructure: the Church Center App (iOS/Android) for event registration, group management, and giving; Planning Center for volunteer scheduling; YouTube for Sunday livestreaming; Vimeo for sermon hosting; and Spotify/Apple Podcasts for audio distribution. The 400-seat Worship Center, completed in September 2022 on property owned for over two decades, anchors the campus alongside the Children's, Education & Administration Building. The sermon archive exceeds 5,651 messages and serves as a long-form content asset.

VCCC operates on a voluntary donation model with no set pricing. Revenue flows through five named funds: the General Fund (operations and staff), the Building Fund (Worship Center debt and additional construction), the Mission Fund (six missionary partnerships in Spain, Panama, Ethiopia, Germany, Uganda, and Arabic-speaking regions), the Mercy Fund (deacon benevolence), and tithes and offerings. Online giving accepts ACH, cryptocurrency, and stock donations through the Church Center platform. The church is a private nonprofit with no parent company, no investment funding, and no public financial disclosure.
