Troy Van Horn and his family moved to Marysville, WA to start a church. Part of their strategy was to serve the community by meeting needs. After months of service in the community, the mayor awarded them (and Venture Church) – Marysville Volunteer of the Month for November 2010.

Mayor Jon Nehring presented the Van Horn family with their November City Volunteer of the Month framed certificate at the Dec. 13 City Council meeting.
