DCBC is committed to strengthening our member churches to advance God’s kingdom. We strive to support our member churches by providing ministry resources and opportunities for networking, fellowship and training, and by undergirding their programs and activities.

  


Village regularly joins other individual local programs such as the Walk for the Homeless.
