What is Convocation?  

Convocation is a Spiritual Kick-Off to the 2025-26 school year. “Convocation” is defined simply as a formal gathering. As we begin our year, we invite our VCS community for an evening of worship, prayer, and community. Convocation is open to our whole K-12 community, alumni, friends, family, and partners. Our 60-minute service will include a time in worship, a spiritual charge, and a time of prayer for our community. Following our Convocation service, we will enjoy dessert and a time to connect as a community.

Theme Passage

Seek the Heart of Christ

"Therefore, if you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any common sharing in the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and of one mind. Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others. In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage; rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death—even death on a cross!" (Philippians 2:1-8).
