LEADERSHIP TEAM

Our leadership team recognizes the authority of God and realizes that we are shepherds who serve under the chief shepherd, Jesus Christ. We desire to devote ourselves to prayer and to the ministry of the Word. Our passion and goal is to equip the believers for the work of the ministry and provide ongoing encouragement and fellowship.

Bob Claffey
Head Pastor
 
As the Senior Pastor, his passion is to express the true heart of God through solid Bible teaching and life application studies. He lives out the vision of God for VCC each day: reaching the lost, growing in Christ, and learning to love God and others. He is a powerful teacher of the Word and a caring shepherd to us all. He is trained, licensed and ordained through Rhema Bible Training College and also holds a Christian Counseling Degree.
 
Together with his wife Kerri, who is a teacher, he started VCC in September 1992. They have three children, Andrew, Adam and Katelyn and a brand-new daughter in law. 
Tina Stickney
Kids Church Director
 
Tina is a BOCES teacher and mother herself and is a great leader to our Kids Church team. She puts our children’s safety (and fun!) first, leading by example to help the team develop new and exciting programs as well as grow personally. 
 
She and her husband have been a member of VCC for many years and her two boys have grown up in our kids and youth programs. We’re so blessed to have them all!
