Ministry spotlight: Volunteers for Christ

This week's ministry spotlight focuses on Volunteers for Christ (VFC). According to VFC's Web site,

VFC is an outreach of Cornerstone Church of Knoxville, and its purpose is primarily to glorify God through the proclamation and demonstration of the gospel of Jesus Christ at the University of Tennessee Knoxville. We desire that students not only learn about Christianity, but also that they practically apply their faith in the context of the local church. Our mission is to help students experience the fullness of the New Testament by enjoying all the ministry of the church in their lives.

• Weekly Worship Service: VFC meets every Thursday at 7 p.m. in Room 210 at Alumni Memorial Building (AMB). Students can participate in songs of worship and a sermon.
