VCF Weekends

Each year the VCF organises a weekend away to give folk who are involved, or interested in VCF the opportunity to meet together as a family for fun, fellowship, food, and sharing together whilst looking into God’s Word for us and for our profession.

Some years we will organise a national event other years we will split into a Northern event and a Southern one.

Booking links and more details about forthcoming events are found below.

Join our VCF Weekends

The VCF weekends offer an opportunity to meet and and share with others who share that common bond of an interest or passion for Jesus combined with a heart for the veterinary profession. It offers a place where the two can be understood to work together for God’s glory and purpose.

The weekends offers a unique opportunity for everyone to come together in a relaxed, informal way, to ask questions and to have space and time to consider how we share Christ’s love in the veterinary world in the ministry that he has given to each one of us. It also offers the chance to find “Pauls” to mentor and support us on our journey, and to find “Timothys” that we in turn can help and support on theirs.
