Vineyard Christian Church 2025
What if Every Encounter Left You Changed?
Imagine a love so radical, it heals more than just the body.
At Vineyard Christian Church, we are empowered by the very Spirit of God, we're not just talking about love – we're living it. We're on a mission to bring the complete healing of Jesus – physical, mental, spiritual, emotional, and relational – to every single person we meet.
Curious about a community where authenticity isn't just a buzzword?
Through heartfelt worship, genuine connection, and acts of selfless service, we're actively pursuing the restoration and wholeness that Jesus promised. We believe His kingdom isn't a distant dream; it's breaking into our lives right now.
We're not pretending to have all the answers. We walk openly in the space between what is and what will be, understanding that healing is both a personal journey and a divine promise. As we wholeheartedly follow Jesus, His love isn't just a guide – it's a force that reshapes us from the inside out. We're being called to deeper transformation, allowing His grace, truth, and power to shine through our lives. And we truly believe that every moment spent with Him leaves us different, renewed.
Our purpose is clear: to announce and demonstrate the Kingdom of God in tangible ways. We're here to see lives made whole, communities rebuilt, and love become the unmistakable hallmark of who we are – devoted disciples of Christ. As part of the Vineyard movement, we are a people ignited by the Spirit, grounded in Scripture, and sent out into the world with one powerful mandate: to love as Jesus loves.
What Does Radical Love in Action Look Like? For Us, It Looks Like This:
As a Vineyard church, our calling isn't just about words; it's about stepping into the very actions of Jesus. We believe the Kingdom of God is not a passive hope – it's a dynamic reality we're invited to participate in, right here and now. This is what that looks like for us:
Imagine a world where sickness and oppression lose their grip. We are called to:
Pray with power and expect miracles. Just as Jesus did (Luke 10:9, Matthew 10:7-8), we boldly pray for the sick and minister to those held captive, trusting in God's perfect timing while living with anticipation for His intervention.
What if compassion knew no boundaries? We are called to:
Extend a hand to the forgotten. Through initiatives like SERVE and other outward-focused ministries (Isaiah 58:6-7, Luke 4:18), we actively bring the tangible love of Jesus to the poor and marginalized beyond the walls of our church.
What if our own family felt that love first? We are called to:
Nurture our community with intentional care. Through IMPACT (internal acts of service), we prioritize practicing love and justice within our own church family, ensuring that the bonds of fellowship are strong and supportive (Acts 2:42-47, Galatians 6:10).
What if brokenness didn't have the final say? We are called to:
Partner with God to mend what's fractured. We actively pursue justice and reconciliation, believing in the power of God to restore broken relationships and systems, starting with our own connection to Him and extending to our interactions with others (Micah 6:8, 2 Corinthians 5:18-19).
What if everyone knew they were called to something more? We are called to:
Empower every person to walk as Jesus walked. We are committed to making disciples – equipping and empowering all to wholeheartedly follow Jesus and actively participate in His life-changing mission (Matthew 28:18-20, Ephesians 4:12-13).
This isn't just a list; it's our heartbeat. In everything we do, we lean fully on the power of the Holy Spirit. We believe that God's Kingdom is actively breaking into our world today, and you are invited to be a part of it because “everyone gets to play” at Vineyard Christian Church.

Ever heard of a church where "everyone gets to play" and you're actually encouraged to "do the stuff"? At Vineyard Christian Church, we're not just talking about the Kingdom of God – we're living in the exciting tension of the "now and not yet," where the power of the Holy Spirit isn't just a Sunday morning concept, it's our everyday reality.
Imagine walking into a space where:
Healing isn't just prayed for, it happens. We dream of and actively pursue a church where the Holy Spirit moves in power, touching bodies, mending hearts, restoring minds, and rebuilding broken relationships.
Love isn't just a nice idea, it's who we are. It's not just something we do; it's the very fabric of our identity.
You're not just a spectator, you're equipped to make a difference. We believe every disciple is called to live as Jesus lived, partnering with God to see His Kingdom come on earth – right here, right now.
