About Us
Village Presbyterian Church is a thoughtful, inclusive family of faith, where incarnation is experienced, relationships are shaped and cherished, mission is a way of life and justice is practiced. Village Church is a member of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), the largest Presbyterian denomination in the country and a part of the Reformed tradition. All are welcome. All are included. All are loved.
Village Church was founded in 1949. Rev. Tom Are, Jr. has served as senior pastor since 2004. We are one church worshiping each Sunday at two locations: Village Church Mission Campus in Prairie Village and Village Church Antioch Campus in Overland Park. Village Church also manages the Meneilly Center for Mission at 99th and Mission Road in Overland Park, which includes a Food Pantry and Clothes Closet and a Child & Family Development Center that serve the surrounding community.

Leadership
Tom Are
Prior to coming to Village in 2004, Rev. Tom Are, Jr. spent most of his life in the Southeast. He loves Royals’ baseball, stories that make you laugh, a book that makes you think and enough snowfall to close things down for a day or so. When he can’t be in Kansas City, his favorite spot is to be canoe/camping in Quetico, Canada. Tom finds the Village Church family to be honest about faith, serious about mission and growing in our commitment to be shaped by the life of Jesus Christ. He sees significant changes in our culture regarding faith these days, and that gives him great energy and a deep sense of joy in his call to ministry. Tom is a graduate of Presbyterian College in South Carolina, Union Presbyterian Seminary in Richmond, Virginia and Yale Divinity School. Previously, Tom has served Westminster Church in Charleston, South Carolina, Seven Oaks Church in Columbia, South Carolina and Riverside Church in Jacksonville, Florida. Tom and his wife, Carol, have been married since 1987, and they have two young adult children, Sarah and Nathan. Carol is a registered nurse and Tom is a sixth generation Presbyterian pastor (that’s a lot!).Location & Directions
