She has served in children’s and women’s ministry extensively and helped direct our yearly VBS programs. Her calling is to equip and empower believers of all ages to serve Jesus. Vanessa enjoys exploring new cultures through travel and relationships, but especially loves laughing and playing with her nieces and nephew.
Dusten and Casey Gorrell
Dusten and Casey serve as youth pastors at VCC. They have two daughters and more chickens than you can count. When not hanging out with the youth or family they can be found cruising on Dusten’s motorcycle or entertaining a house full of random church members who have gathered spontaneously. Casey also serves as our church hostess, providing leadership for Sunday morning service teams.
