Vineyard Church is a growing group of people, who want to experience the power of God at work in and through their lives.  We run our church in an informal an un-pressured way, as a place where we can find peace from our busy world and meet with Jesus.

We are people who have a real and developing relationship with God, and we want to be totally honest with each other.  We believe that the Bible is the inspired Word of God, so we use the Bible often in our times together and encourage one another to put what it teaches into practice.  We really love to experience the presence of God, especially in worship, which we include in most of our gatherings.  We believe that Christianity is all about living life to the full, so we place a high value on having fun, family life and friendships where we can simply be ourselves.

Where we’re going…

We aim to establish a church where God can be God.  As individuals we want to grow more like Jesus, demonstrating his heart to the people we live amongst.

Our primary purpose is to see the invasion of God’s kingdom into the communities in which we live, the same way the Jesus touched His community 2000 years ago.  We have a clear expectation that God will draw many people to himself, as they recognise their need for completeness in their lives that only He can give.

What makes a Vineyard Church?

As a Vineyard Church we belong to the Association of Vineyard Churches, with whom we work together in planting new churches, and from whom our pastors receive pastoral care in the context of accountable relationship.

We continue to develop the following recognisable features as a Vineyard Church:

• Clear Biblical teaching
• Worship in the freedom of the Holy Spirit
• Active service to the needy, hurting and broken
• Evangelism and healing
• Gifts of the Holy Spirit in operation
• Equipping ourselves to live effective lives
• Fellowship with one another
