WHAT OUR STUDENTS SAY
When we moved here from South Carolina about 5 years ago, I was lost and didn’t have any friends. When I visited VRSM and was welcomed with a warm smile, I felt like I had found a second home. Christ has really changed my life through the meaningful discussions and wonderful community I have experienced at VRSM. It truly is a life-changing group!
I love VRSM because everyone there loves one another like family. The whole ministry is very inclusive and all the leaders are easy to talk to in times of struggle and are there to support you when you succeed. I have made some of my best friends through the ministry and also been able to watch each other grow in Christ and grow together, which has been one of my favorite things since joining the ministry!

TAYLOR I.
VRSM has helped me grow spiritually by showing me what it’s like to love Jesus and love others, but also how to put that into practice by serving the community and laughing together. My relationship with Jesus would not be as strong as it is today without VRSM and the many people and leaders who have invested in me.
VRSM has shown me the purpose and joy found in having Godly community. Being able to walk alongside such a great group of people has made it easier to be bold and grow in my faith. The people here are so special and their love for the Lord is evident by how they love others and invite them into our student ministry. VRSM has taught me how to pursue a deeper faith and seek Christ above all other things.

A WORD FROM THE PASTOR
About Valley Ranch Baptist Church
At Valley Ranch Baptist Church ("VRBC"), our mission is inviting diverse and disconnected people to passionately follow Jesus together. For more than 35 years, VRBC has been shining the light of the gospel into our local communities of Valley Ranch and Coppell, the Dallas/Fort Worth area, and beyond. God has blessed us with a beautifully diverse community, but many of our neighbors are tragically disconnected from God and each other. Our greatest joy is to see people transformed and united by Christ’s grace for God’s glory.
​
Ministry at VRBC is organized around four priorities: Worship, Grow, Serve, and Invite. Far from just being words on a website, those four priorities drive our programming as we engage with God together in worship, gather around God’s Word in small groups, serve our community and world in tangible ways, and invite all those around us to follow Jesus with us.
​
Candidate Requirements

CONGREGATIONAL PROFILE
About Coppell & Valley Ranch
A community with a small-town feel and big-city conveniences is just one way to describe the Coppell/Valley Ranch area. Consistently rated as one of the best places to live, raise a family, and attend public schools in Texas by Niche.com, Coppell/Valley Ranch is situated near the heart of the DFW Metroplex.
In quaint Old Town Coppell, you can spend Saturday morning shopping for local produce at the Farmers Market, grab some lunch at one of the local restaurants, enjoy boutique shopping, and then relax while participating in family-friendly events at the brand new Arts Center. The community of Valley Ranch, located within the larger city of Irving, shares many of the same features as Coppell, and portions of the community are zoned for Coppell ISD. The Sound at Cypress Waters is one of the newest, fastest-growing areas in Coppell/Valley Ranch for restaurants, nightlife, and outdoor concerts.
The Coppell/Valley Ranch area offers easy access to world-class entertainment, fantastic restaurants, professional and recreational sports, and plentiful parks and green spaces. More importantly, it is home to thousands of people who have yet to experience the joy of following Jesus. If you’d like to be a part of helping make that happen, we’d love to visit with you!
